Field CISO

We are seeking a highly experienced and well-connected Field CISO who understands the MSP industry inside and out. The ideal candidate has a deep understanding of security, has either worked at an MSP or within a vendor/industry organization serving MSPs, and is already an active participant in key communities, peer groups, and industry programs. This is not an internal CISO role but rather a strategic, evangelist and engagement-focused position.

Responsibilities:

• Actively participate in MSP communities, industry associations and peer groups, to build relationships, fostering discussions and positioning Guardz as a trusted voice.
• Act as a key contributor to the Customer Advisory Board, ensuring continuous collaboration and valuable feedback from key customers.
• Collaborate with marketing and event teams to represent the company at industry events, conferences, and online platforms.
• Serve as a thought leader and product evangelist, participating in speaking opportunities (podcasts, webinars, panels) to amplify product messaging.
• Act as an MSP voice internally, partnering with product and marketing to shape platform direction, and provide strategic guidance on launches and messaging.
• Identify and create new opportunities to engage, from exclusive partnerships to co-branded initiatives with influencers and key industry players.

Requirements:

• Cybersecurity veteran with hands-on practitioner experience and a strong track record evangelizing within the MSP channel.
• Deeply connected in the MSP ecosystem, maintaining strong relationships across the community.
• Exceptional communicator and storyteller, confident in public speaking, webinars, and panel engagements.
• Authentic, mission-driven ambassador for Guardz with willingness to travel ~25% (1 week/month).
