Remote, United States
Our take: The real work here is turning the market around an AI-powered DevSecOps platform into sharp build, buy or partner decisions, and running the acquisitions that follow from first call to integration.
If you love turning a messy market into a clear point of view, and you get as much satisfaction from a well-argued no as from a deal that closes, this role gives you the whole arc: the research, the thesis, the valuation, and the integration. You will own the wider market view, work shoulder to shoulder with product and executive leaders, and run acquisitions end to end in a fully remote, async-first team that prizes ownership and candour. Success here is sharper decisions, not deal count.
