Vice President, AI Product Security

About the Role

In this opportunity as Vice President, AI Product Security, you will:

• Partner directly with product and engineering teams to embed security across the full AI stack — including AI experiences, agents, agent harnesses, underlying models, and context sources such as MCP — rather than treating the model in isolation
• Set the technical bar for AI-specific risk and cybersecurity requirements, holding engineering roadmaps to it before launch, not after
• Serve as the security authority engineering teams come to for architecture and control decisions, resolving trade-offs without stalling delivery
• Build the paved-road patterns and repeatable review frameworks that let engineering ship new AI experiences and agents fast, inside a risk tolerance you define with the CISO
• Equip Customer Trust, Product and Go-to-Market teams to sell with security as a differentiator, not a caveat — explaining, with technical credibility, how Thomson Reuters builds secure, fiduciary-grade AI solutions centered on trust
• Stand in front of customer executives and security leaders as the technical voice behind how Thomson Reuters secures its AI, and defend that posture under scrutiny
• Assist in the build-out of trust artifacts, sales enablement materials, and security processes that meet customer requirements
• Support customers directly in solutioning, adopting, and implementing AI in line with their own risk management strategies
• Facilitate a technical relationship with the AI security engineering and architecture team, as well as AI red-team to leverage security reviews and adversarial-testing capabilities to evaluate the risk of models as well as MCP-connected tools against emerging threat patterns such as tool-privilege escalation, prompt injection, etc.
• Set requirements for evaluating and monitoring third-party and vendor-supplied models and AI services — provenance, ongoing risk assessment, and contractual security terms — applying the same rigor used for systems built in-house

Requirements

You’re a fit for the role of Vice President, AI Product Security if your background includes:

• 12+ years in cybersecurity or product security, including senior leadership inside complex, SaaS-based technology organizations
• Proven experience designing, developing, or securing AI solutions
• Business solution architecture experience: the ability to read a product's technical design and turn security risk into concrete engineering requirements
• A strong grasp of risk management, including how to identify and mitigate cybersecurity risk specific to AI models and capabilities
• Understand and be able to apply best practice frameworks such as MITRE Atlas, OWASP Top 10 for LLMs, NIST AI RMF and others
• Exceptional communication skills — able to translate deep technical concepts for non-technical buyers, procurement, and business leaders without diluting the substance
• Comfort operating in ambiguity, building structure where none exists yet
• A track record of driving decisions through influence, not authority — engaging senior leaders across technical and product organizations
