If you want to build the future of healthcare, we'd love for you to join us.

The Role

As the Head of IT & Cybersecurity, you are the principal leader responsible for the security and integrity of Angle Health's data, and the primary owner for all IT across the organization. You will proactively shape how the business anticipates, prepares for, and responds to threats in a highly regulated environment. This role requires an entrepreneurial leader who can establish foundational IT and security practices in a scaling business while ensuring operational efficiency, supporting business needs, and building towards long-term, enterprise-grade resilience.

What You’ll Do

• Develop and execute the company's IT and security strategy, ensuring alignment with overall business objectives and growth goals. Provide vision and direction for the organization's technical infrastructure and security posture.
• Oversee the design, implementation, and maintenance of all IT infrastructure, including networks, servers, cloud platforms, and hardware.
• Manage the IT team and day-to-day operations, including helpdesk support, system administration, and software management to ensure employees have seamless access to the tools, equipment, and support they need to do their jobs.
• Conduct regular risk assessments and vulnerability testing to identify potential security gaps and develop mitigation strategies.
• Oversee security incident detection, response, and recovery plans, ensuring minimal disruption in the event of a breach.
• Maintain technical controls such as firewalls, intrusion detection systems, access controls, and encryption.
• Manage all internal and external IT audit processes, and ensure compliance with relevant laws, regulations, and industry standards, including HIPAA, SOC 2, and others.
• Lead and mentor a lean, high-performing IT and security team while continuing to be a hands-on operator.
  
  

What We’re Looking For:

• 8-12 years of experience leading small but effective IT and security teams within highly regulated industries (e.g. healthcare and financial services).
• Extensive experience with major cloud infrastructure platforms, including AWS, and managing both internally developed software and third-party, cloud-based SaaS platforms.
• Proven success in defining, building, and scaling IT and cybersecurity functions from the ground up in a high-growth environment.
• Demonstrated experience in consistently achieving and maintaining IT and security certifications across multiple frameworks (e.g. HIPAA, SOC 2, HITRUST, ISO 27001, etc.) with clean, unqualified audit opinions.
• Strong knowledge of the major domains of security, including endpoint protection, identity and access management (IAM), network security, data encryption/data loss prevention (DLP), etc.
• Confidence and proven ability to handle major security breaches, complex regulatory audits, and business continuity scenarios.
• Familiarity with implementing and maintaining leading IT operations and security infrastructure platforms including Zscaler, Okta, FileWave, Freshworks, SentinelOne, and others.
• Prior experience scaling a high-growth startup as the first/sole member of the IT team is preferred.
  
  

Must Haves:

• Prior startup experience in a highly regulated industry (Healthtech, Fintech, etc.)
• Owned IT and Help Desk for an entire company
• History of successful SOC 2 audits
• Experience managing a small IT team
