We are seeking an experienced Product Security Lead to drive Acronis’ global product security strategy and assurance program across our SaaS and on-premises portfolio. This role will oversee product security governance, secure development practices, security tooling and automation, vulnerability management, and remediation assurance. Working closely with R&D, Product, and Security leadership, you will embed security throughout the software development lifecycle, strengthen our security posture, and ensure compliance with industry standards and customer expectations. The ideal candidate combines deep technical expertise with strong leadership skills and a proven ability to build scalable security programs in a global software environment. WHAT YOU’LL DO Product Assurance Leadership and Governance Lead and provide oversight of the product assurance program, including governance, accountability, and metrics across all product lines (SaaS and on-premises). Define and maintain the product security strategy, policies, standards, and secure development lifecycle (SDL) requirements, aligned with business goals and product roadmaps. Establish risk acceptance, exception, and escalation processes with clear ownership in Engineering and Product. Report product security posture, risk trends, and program KPIs to senior leadership. Toolchain Strategy and Procurement Conduct gap analysis of the Product Security toolchain, identify coverage and maturity gaps, and build the business case for tooling investments. Evaluate, select, and recommend appropriate tools, and manage vendor relationships. Secure CI/CD and Automated Security Controls Select, configure, and set enforcement modes (audit, warn, block) for SAST, DAST, SCA, secrets scanning, and SBOM generation in CI/CD pipelines.

Oversee security design reviews and threat modeling for new features, architectures, and third-party integrations. Direct penetration testing, red team engagements, and external security assessments of products. Vulnerability Management and Remediation Assurance Define and oversee the end-to-end vulnerability management process: intake, triage, risk scoring (e.g., CVSS, EPSS, exploitability context), SLAs, and remediation. Provide remediation assurance by verifying that fixes are effective, complete, and free of regressions, and by tracking SLA adherence and escalating overdue items. Manage the bug bounty and coordinated vulnerability disclosure programs, including researcher engagement, platform management, and incentive structuring. Lead the Product Security Incident Response Team (PSIRT) function, including security advisories, CVE publication, and customer communication for critical vulnerabilities. Compliance and Customer Assurance Ensure compliance with relevant regulations, industry standards, and best practices, including GDPR, HIPAA, and ISO/IEC 27001. Align products with additional product-relevant frameworks as applicable (e.g., SOC 2, NIST SSDF, OWASP ASVS/SAMM, SLSA, EU Cyber Resilience Act, NIS2). Support customer security questionnaires, audits, and certification efforts (e.g., Common Criteria, FedRAMP, or other market-specific requirements). Engineering Enablement and Culture Advise Product Management and R&D on security requirements, customer expectations, and product roadmaps. Build a security champions program and deliver secure coding training to developers. Embed security guidance, reusable patterns, and paved-road tooling into developer workflows.
