Field CISO

Field CISO

Aegis Security is looking for a part-time Field CISO: a seasoned security executive who opens doors, sits beside buyers as a peer, and helps enterprises adopt AI governance with confidence. About 8–10 hours a month, paid in equity plus commission on revenue you help win.

About Aegis. Aegis is an AI governance platform. It discovers the AI agents, automations, scripts and workflows running across an enterprise, gives security teams visibility into what they can access, and enforces governance policies over them. Our buyers are CISOs, application security leaders and enterprise risk owners, with an early focus on banks and fintech.

Must have

· 10+ years in security, including 3+ years as a CISO, deputy CISO or head of security at an enterprise (roughly 1,000+ employees).

· An active network of security leaders you can introduce personally, ideally in banking, fintech, insurance or other regulated industries.

· Hands-on experience buying and approving security tools: running evaluations, pilots and third-party risk reviews.

· A working understanding of AI risk: AI agents, automation and scripting sprawl, and governance frameworks such as the NIST AI RMF.

· Currently between roles, independent, retired or consulting, with no current employment at a likely Aegis customer or competitor.

Duties:

· Open doors: make 2–3 warm introductions a month to CISOs, application security leaders and risk owners at target banks, fintechs and regulated enterprises.

· Sit beside the buyer: join up to 4 discovery calls, demos or executive meetings a month as a peer voice, and help turn interest into pilots with clear success criteria.

· Clear vendor risk: help answer security questionnaires and third-party risk reviews, and pressure-test Aegis's own security posture from a CISO's point of view.

· Shape the product: bring back how security leaders discover, approve and control AI agents in practice, and test our positioning and pricing.

· Be a visible voice: co-author or speak on one piece of content a quarter (post, webinar or panel) on AI agent governance.

· Bring Aegis into the room: attend industry events where you belong on your own standing, and bring the founder as a guest only where the host allows it.

Nice to have

· Experience with model risk management or regulatory exams in financial services.

· Membership in CISO communities (Evanta, SVCI, ISSA, CSA or similar).

· Prior advisor, field CISO or board roles at security startups.

· Public voice: speaking, writing or podcast appearances.
