• Define and track performance metrics and KPIs to measure program effectiveness and drive continuous improvement.
• Develop and maintain a culture of innovation, continuous learning, and proactive security research.
• Coordinate cross‑functional collaboration with other security teams (App Sec, SOC, Infrastructure, GRC) to integrate ARET insights into operational security practices.
• Manage team budgets, resource allocation, and vendor relationships for ARET services and tools.
• Develop and administer training and qualification certification for ARET functional roles.
• Provide effective communications about research findings, threat intelligence, and security concerns to stakeholders across the organization.

• Develop and execute strategic roadmaps for cyber threat intelligence, AI security, product security, adversarial emulation, and security tool development programs aligned with organizational risk tolerance and business objectives.
• Identify and assess emerging threats, attack techniques, and security technologies that may impact Inmar’s security posture.
• Establish and maintain the organization’s AI security program, ensuring responsible AI development practices and protection against AI‑specific threats, such as prompt injection, model poisoning, and adversarial attacks.
• Define and mature the product security program, establishing secure development lifecycle practices, third‑party component risk management, and product vulnerability disclosure processes.
• Champion offensive security capabilities through adversarial emulation and penetration testing programs that validate security controls and identify gaps before adversaries can exploit them.
• Drive automation and efficiency through strategic security tool development initiatives that enhance security operations and reduce manual effort.
• Engage with industry peers, threat intelligence sharing communities (ISACs/ISAOs), and research organizations to stay current with emerging threats and defensive techniques.
• Provide strategic input to executive leadership on emerging threats, security trends, and recommended investments in security capabilities.

• Oversee the development and management of the third‑party product security review process.
• Oversee the development and maintenance of cyber threat intelligence collection, analysis, and dissemination capabilities.
• Ensure threat intelligence feeds, indicators of compromise (IOCs), and threat actor profiles are integrated into security monitoring and detection systems.
• Provide technical oversight for AI/ML security assessments, including model security testing, data privacy validation, and AI risk assessments.
• Review and approve product security assessments, threat models, and secure design recommendations for internal products and third‑party solutions.
• Ensure adversarial emulation and penetration testing activities follow industry best practices (MITRE ATT&CK, PTES) and provide actionable remediation guidance.
• Oversee the development of…
