Role Summary

Eko is hiring a Head of Information Technology & Cybersecurity to own the company's corporate IT operations and cybersecurity program end to end. In this role, you will be the single accountable owner for keeping Eko's internal systems reliable and secure, and for corporate compliance obligations including SOC 2 and related frameworks.

This is a corporate-facing role. The security of Eko's product — its FDA-cleared device software and AI platform — is owned by our Product Security team. This role does not set product security strategy; you will serve as a resource to Product Security, executing security testing against that team's pre-defined product security procedures as required.

This is a hands-on and highly visible leadership role for someone who can build a program, run it day to day, and represent it credibly to auditors, customers, and executive leadership.

Essential Functions

Corporate IT Operations & Infrastructure

Own Eko's corporate IT strategy, infrastructure, and day-to-day operations: employee endpoints (MDM), identity and access management (SSO/MFA), corporate network, cloud workplace tools, helpdesk/support, and asset management.

Manage software and SaaS procurement, licensing, and lifecycle, including vendor selection and renewal negotiations in partnership with Finance.

Own the IT budget and technology roadmap, and build or manage the team (internal hires and/or outsourced providers) responsible for day-to-day IT support.

Cybersecurity Program & Governance

Design, implement, and continuously mature Eko's corporate cybersecurity program: security policies, endpoint and email security, data loss prevention, identity governance, security awareness training, and incident response planning.

Own and maintain the corporate security risk register, and drive remediation of identified gaps with clear ownership and timelines.

Act as Eko's primary point of contact for corporate-level security incidents — coordinating investigation, containment, communication, and post-incident review.

Compliance & Audit Management

Own SOC 2 (Type I/II) end to end: scoping, control design and implementation, evidence collection, and management of the external audit relationship.

Own or contribute to other applicable corporate compliance obligations as the company's needs require — for example HIPAA/HITECH administrative and technical safeguards, HITRUST, and relevant privacy regulations (e.g., CCPA, UK/EU GDPR) tied to Eko's customer base and international footprint.

Serve as the primary liaison for customer and partner security questionnaires, vendor security due-diligence requests, and audit committee or board reporting on IT/security posture.
