Protecting our people, workplaces, reputation, and operations is essential to our mission. We are seeking an experienced Head of Corporate Security to build and lead a global, intelligence-driven security function that safeguards our teams, leaders, and facilities - whether they are working onsite, traveling internationally, or representing JetBrains in the public sphere.

Your Role

As the Head of Corporate Security, you will define and drive JetBrains’ enterprise-wide security strategy.

• Partner with teams to strengthen business continuity and ensure we’re prepared for disruptions.
