Omilia's growth trajectory — enterprise contracts with major banks, utilities, telecoms, and government agencies, combined with an expanding AI product surface — is generating security obligations faster than a centralised security team can absorb. The BISO is the security function's embedded representative within the business units: translating cyber standards into operational practice, unblocking commercial initiatives that are stalled on security reviews, and ensuring that Omilia's customer-facing commitments (contractual security exhibits, DPAs, SLAs) are operationally delivered. This role is specifically created to address the growing volume of AI-related security initiatives, customer due diligence requests, and internal cyber standard adoption challenges that currently constrain the business.

Business Unit Security Partnership
Key Responsibilities
Business Unit Security Partnership
- Serve as the primary security contact for Sales, Customer Success, Legal/Contracts, Product, and Professional Services — acting as a security advisor embedded in commercial and delivery workflows
- Attend key deal reviews, QBRs, and customer onboarding sessions to provide security context and remove blockers caused by security uncertainty
- Translate cyber security standards and policies into actionable guidance for non-security teams; bridge the gap between the CISO's policy layer and day-to-day business operations
- Own the security governance framework for Omilia's AI product features: generative AI tools (Pathfinder, miniApps), LLM integrations, agentic execution pipelines, and voice biometric systems
- Lead the security review process for new AI feature releases, including threat modelling, data handling assessment, and compliance gap analysis (EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF)
- Establish and maintain an AI risk register covering model input/output risks, training data provenance, inference security, and human-in-the-loop control adequacy
- Represent Omilia in AI security discussions with enterprise customers and prospects who are subject to AI governance mandates (DORA, EU AI Act, internal AI ethics boards)
- Own the security questionnaire process end-to-end: triage, response, evidence pack assembly, and customer sign-off. Target: sub-5-day turnaround for standard RFPs
- Maintain and continuously improve the master security response library, aligned to current certifications (FedRAMP, SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, PCI-DSS, HIPAA, GDPR)
- Participate in contract security exhibit negotiations, advising Legal on what Omilia can operationally commit to vs. what requires escalation or commercial pushback
- Support customer audits, penetration test disclosure requirements, and on-site/virtual security review sessions
- Drive adherence to Omilia's internal security policies across business units: data classification, acceptable use, third-party risk, incident reporting obligations
- Run targeted security awareness programmes for non-technical staff, with specific focus on data handling, phishing resilience, and AI tool usage policies
- Identify and escalate systemic non-compliance patterns to the CISO; propose pragmatic remediation plans that do not block business operations
- Maintain the internal security risk register for business-unit-owned risks (as distinct from technical/platform risks owned by Cloud Security)
- Manage the security assessment lifecycle for new vendors, subprocessors, and integration partners, ensuring DPA and Security Exhibit obligations flow down appropriately
- Monitor existing subprocessor security posture and flag material changes (e.g., a CCaaS partner changing their cloud provider or incident disclosures)
- Support the OEM and reseller channel on security onboarding: ensure partner-side obligations are understood and operationalised
- 6+ years in information security, with at least 2 years in a BISO, security business partner, or GRC-facing role at a SaaS or technology company
- Strong working knowledge of PCI-DSS, SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and GDPR as they apply to a cloud service provider selling to regulated enterprise customers
- Experience managing enterprise security questionnaires and RFP security sections at volume — ideally for deals with banks, insurers, utilities, or government buyers
- Demonstrated ability to work across commercial, legal, and technical functions without formal authority; strong stakeholder management and influencing skills
- Familiarity with AI governance frameworks: EU AI Act (basic awareness of high-risk classification), NIST AI RMF, or internal AI ethics/risk policies
- Strong written communication: able to produce clear, accurate security responses for both technical and non-technical audiences
- Professional certification: CISM, CRISC, CISA, or CISSP. ISO 27001 Lead Implementer/Auditor is a plus
- Prior experience in conversational AI, CCaaS, UCaaS, or a voice/telephony SaaS platform
- Exposure to FedRAMP-authorised environments and US federal/SLED customer security requirements
- Background supporting DORA compliance (Digital Operational Resilience Act) for financial sector customers
- Experience building or scaling a security evidence library / trust centre (e.g., Vanta, Drata, SecurityScorecard)
- Multilingual capability is a plus given Omilia's international customer base (EU, US, APAC, LATAM)
- Security questionnaire backlog cleared and average turnaround time below 5 business days
- AI risk register live and reviewed quarterly, covering all production AI features
- Internal security policy adherence programme launched across Sales, PS, and Customer Success teams
- No material security-related deal blockers attributable to slow response or unclear position on AI security
- At least two enterprise customer security reviews completed with documented sign-off
- Fixed compensation;
- Long-term employment with the working days vacation;
- Development in professional growth (courses, training, etc);
- Being part of successful cutting-edge technology products that are making a global impact in the service industry;
- Proficient and fun-to-work-with colleagues;
