    • Promote a culture of security-first thinking across engineering, IT, and product teams by driving awareness, training, and secure development practices.
    • Track emerging threats, technologies, and regulatory changes; propose and drive forward-looking security strategies to ensure WHOOP maintains a resilient security posture.
    • Continuously assess and improve security operations, workflows, and tooling to meet evolving business and security requirements.
    • Participate in and help improve the on-call rotation to support critical security incidents, offering guidance and escalation support as needed.
