Field CISO ( B2B SaaS Cyber | DACH )

Company Description

SimuPhish™ is revolutionizing cybersecurity by combining advanced Generative AI with behavioral science to measure, detect, and reduce organizational human risk.

Role Overview

We are hiring a Field CISO ( DACH ) to act as the strategic cybersecurity advisor and deal enabler for enterprise clients. This is a client-facing, revenue-impact role focused on driving enterprise sales conversations, translating human risk into measurable business impact, building CISO-to-CISO trust, and positioning SimuPhish as a category-defining platform. This is not an internal IT or security operations role, but a high-influence position at the intersection of strategy, revenue, and cybersecurity leadership.

Key Responsibilities

The Field CISO will partner closely with the sales team to support mid to late-stage enterprise deals, engaging directly with CISOs, CIOs, and senior security leaders to articulate how SimuPhish drives risk reduction, aligns with compliance frameworks such as NIST and ISO, and delivers measurable financial impact. The role requires advising clients on the human attack surface, including social engineering vectors and insider risk, while positioning SimuPhish as a core security layer.

The Field CISO will also be responsible for converting platform insights into board-level narratives, risk dashboards, and strategic recommendations, enabling security leaders to justify budget allocation and broader security transformation initiatives. A key part of the role involves clearly positioning SimuPhish against legacy platforms and other traditional security awareness solutions, while educating buyers on why awareness alone does not equate to security and why human risk must be continuously measured and managed.

Beyond direct client engagement, the role includes representing SimuPhish in the market through conferences, webinars, and executive roundtables, as well as contributing to thought leadership by publishing insights on social engineering trends and human risk intelligence. The Field CISO will also work closely with strategic enterprise accounts to reduce human risk exposure, and guide long-term adoption and expansion of the platform.

Qualifications

We are looking for candidates who have served as a CISO, Deputy CISO, or Head of Security, with at least eight years of experience in cybersecurity leadership roles. A strong understanding of enterprise security architecture, social engineering threats, and risk and compliance frameworks such as ISO and NIST is essential. Ideal candidates will also bring experience in pre-sales or advisory roles, exposure to enterprise SaaS security solutions, a strong network of CISOs, CIOs, or senior security leaders, and a visible presence in the industry through public speaking or thought leadership.

KPIs

Success in this role will be measured by enterprise deals influenced or closed, increases in average deal size, reduction in sales cycle duration, acquisition of strategic accounts across sectors such as BFSI, government, and infrastructure, the strength of executive relationships built, and overall thought leadership impact in the market.

Compensation

The role offers a competitive base salary, performance-based incentives directly tied to revenue contribution, and ESOPs aligned with long-term impact and growth.

Why Join SimuPhish

Joining SimuPhish means being part of building a new category in cybersecurity, working directly with enterprise and government clients, and influencing how organizations measure and manage human risk at a global scale. You will be part of a fast-scaling, investor-backed company shaping the future of cyber defense.
