What the job involves
- Reporting to both our Chief Technology Officer (CTO) and Chief Product & Engineering Officer (CPO), you will serve as a force‑multiplier and trusted partner
- Your mission is to remove friction, create structure, and maintain momentum across product, engineering, and business teams
- While a remote first company, this position requires flexibility with working in an office based on flex schedules of the executive’s being supported
- Serve as the connective tissue between executives and cross‑functional stakeholders; anticipating needs, clarifying priorities, and ensuring commitments are met

- Collaborate with project leads to keep executives up to date on critical deliverables including creating trackers or dashboards and proactively surfacing blockers
- Chase down open items, unblock stakeholders, and escalate issues before they become problems
- Coordinate all aspects of domestic and international travel—crafting well-organized itineraries, anticipating last-minute changes, and ensuring smooth transitions between engagements
- Plan offsites, team workshops, and board meetings that foster engagement, build trust, and reinforce our culture of transparency
- Triage executive inboxes: identify high-priority messages, draft responses when appropriate, and route items to the correct teams
- Prepare agendas, briefing docs, presentations, and post‑meeting summaries that drive clarity and action
- Model empathy, discretion, and calm under pressure
- Promote a continuous‑improvement mindset: collecting feedback and iterating on internal processes as the company scales
Our take
As cyber attacks become increasingly complex, especially in the mode of ransomware, companies such as Halcyon are becoming an ever more important weapon in the fight for cybersecurity. Though only formed in 2021, its founders have extensive experience as researchers at cybersecurity unicorn Cylance, amongst other notable companies in the sector.
Halcyon’s product stands out from similar - and abundant - offerings thanks to its melding of multi-proprietary advanced prevention engines and AI models designed specifically to seek out and destroy ransomware threats. It's the flexibility and reactivity of these two multi-tiered facets that have made Halcyon a trusted partner for companies on the Forbes Global 2000 list.
With significant funding behind it, Halcyon will ramp up the development of its platform's features and continue expanding its customer base.
