CISO Jobs: Chief Information Security Officer & AI Security Leadership

Current Chief Information Security Officer openings and AI security leadership jobs across governance, risk, and compliance, each verified to a live application page.

About the CISO job

The Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) owns an organization's information-security strategy, risk posture, and incident response. In 2026 the mandate has widened sharply: the modern CISO secures AI systems, models, and training data, oversees model risk, and answers to the board on both cyber and AI-governance exposure. Employers increasingly pair the CISO with governance, risk, and compliance leadership rather than treating security as a purely technical function.

Compensation for Chief Information Security Officer jobs runs high, especially in financial services, healthcare, and technology, and the strongest candidates carry credentials such as CISSP, CISM, or CISA alongside working fluency in the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, ISO/IEC 27001, and increasingly the NIST AI RMF and ISO/IEC 42001. The listings below are current CISO and security-leadership openings, each verified to a live application page.
