What the job involves
- SecurityScorecard is seeking a visionary Head of UX to define and drive the long-term user experience strategy for our cybersecurity platform

- Serve as a strategic partner to product and engineering leadership, influencing roadmaps, investment decisions, and customer outcomes through a clear UX perspective

- Represent UX at the executive level, advocating for the customer and guiding the company toward decisions that create long-term value and differentiation
Our take
Organisations understand the value of data and the value of business partnerships that will help them leverage it. However, involving more companies increases the risk of vulnerabilities and, therefore, costly data breaches. SecurityScorecard is a cloud-based enterprise SaaS solution that helps organisations assess and manage cybersecurity risks, offering analyses of potential partner companies using A-F security ratings.
SecurityScorecard looms over its competitors as it covers millions of companies, offering near-instant cybersecurity analyses and an array of capabilities. It has a large, global, and big-name customer base, including 9 of the top 10 pharmaceutical companies and 9 of the top 10 banking institutions, and it is likely to go public in the next few years.
It has both developed and consolidated an impressive lead in a sector that will continue to grow and reward cutting-edge security solutions. Security Scorecard set to remain an industry leader with demonstrable, accessible, and highly attractive customer offerings. In 2024, this included a supply chain cyber risk management platform - MAX - which is driving record revenue.
