About the Company
Ajaia is a rapidly growing AI consultancy and product studio dedicated to helping organizations move from experimentation to real results. We operate across four core pillars: AI Strategy and Advisory, AI Engineering and Automation, Workforce Training and Enablement, and Custom Product Development.
In addition to client services, Ajaia builds proprietary AI products, copilots, and vertical solutions that solve high-value industry problems. This dual model allows us to translate hands-on implementation experience into scalable products while continuously refining our approach through real-world deployment.
Our operating model combines deep technical execution with practical change management, enabling enterprises to deploy secure, compliant, and high-impact solutions that drive measurable operational value. From executive roadmapping to production-ready systems and workforce upskilling, Ajaia embeds intelligent tools directly into the workflows that matter most.
Mission: Help organizations win the AI moment.
Position Overview
Ajaia is hiring a Director of IT & Security to own the full scope of internal IT operations, information security, and compliance across a multi-cloud, multi-country organization. This is a hands-on leadership role. You will build and maintain the systems, policies, and infrastructure that keep the company running securely while driving automation wherever possible.
You will own internal IT (devices, access, onboarding), security posture (policies, monitoring, incident response), and compliance (HIPAA, SOC 2, vendor risk). The environment is multi-cloud (GCP and Azure), fast-moving, and AI-first. You are expected to use AI tools to automate routine operations, improve monitoring, and accelerate your own output.
This role starts as an individual contributor with the potential to build a small team as the company scales.
We expect candidates to use AI in daily workflows across research, ideation, drafting, design iteration, quality checks, and delivery acceleration. AI fluency is a core execution requirement, not optional tooling.

8+ years of experience in one or more of the following areas:
IT operations and infrastructure management
Information security and security operations
Cloud administration and security (GCP, Azure, or multi-cloud environments)
Compliance and audit management (HIPAA, SOC 2, or similar frameworks)
Hands-on experience managing multi-cloud environments (GCP and Azure required)
Working knowledge of HIPAA and SOC 2 compliance, including direct experience preparing for or managing external audits
Experience building and enforcing security policies, access controls, and incident response procedures
Strong understanding of identity management (SSO, MFA, RBAC), endpoint management, and network security fundamentals
Proficiency with AI tools and a working practice of using automation to reduce operational burden
Excellent documentation and communication skills with the ability to translate security concepts for non-technical stakeholders
Comfortable working autonomously in a fast-paced, fully remote, distributed environment
Preferred Requirements:
Relevant certifications: CISSP, CISM, CCSP, CompTIA Security+, or equivalent
Experience with DevSecOps practices, CI/CD pipeline security, or infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, Pulumi, or similar)
Background in vendor risk management and third-party security assessments
Experience supporting healthcare or financial services clients with regulated data requirements
Familiarity with GDPR, DPDPA, or other regional data protection frameworks
Experience with GRC platforms such as Vanta, Drata, or similar tools
Experience with SIEM platforms, vulnerability management tools, or penetration testing coordination
Benefits
Base salary: Approximately $35,000 USD per year (calibrated for target regions).
Performance bonus: Opportunity to earn up to 100% of base salary in performance-based bonuses.
Salary and total compensation depend on experience, location, and demonstrated performance during the hiring process.
