02About Kaluza

Kaluza is the Energy Intelligence Platform, turning energy complexity into seamless coordination. We help energy companies overcome today’s challenges while accelerating the shift to a clean, electrified future.

Our platform orchestrates millions of real-time decisions across homes, devices, markets and grids. By combining predictive algorithms with human-centred design, Kaluza makes clean energy dependable, affordable and adaptive to everyday life.

03What you’ll do

• You will own the product roadmap for Security & Identity, working with the Head of Security to shape and deliver it by setting outcomes, prioritising across the four teams and reporting progress to leadership.

• You will be the voice of the client and the engineering community in security decisions, and the person who turns security from a set of controls into a product people want to use. Work closely with the Head of Security to shape and deliver our Security & Identity strategy for Kaluza.

• Ensure security enables velocity and client value while protecting data: shifting security left delivery cycle.

• Embed a secure-by-default ethos across the organisation, finding ways to make being secure the easiest option.

• Work closely with our Forward Deployed Engineering teams and directly with clients to understand their identity needs and integrate their systems with ours.

• Lead the cyber product response to AI: embed the responsible use of AI across our Security and identity capability, including non-human identity, agent authorisation and guardrails for AI tooling.

• Embed requirements from across our compliance obligations including ISO, client, regulatory, standards, policy into our roadmap, helping ensure we maintain our compliance.

• Contribute to the client-facing security story: security assurance for RFPs and client reviews, and reporting on security posture to clients and the board.

• Contribute to the tooling and vendor strategy for security and identity (identity provider, authorisation, detection and response tooling), making the investment case into the technology budget.

• Partner with Platform Foundations so that security-by-design and data residency requirements are built into the platform, not bolted on.

• Develop and foster a culture of innovation, operational excellence and continuous improvement across Security & Identity

04What you’ll bring

• Deep experience in either cyber security or identity and access management.

• Strong product craft: a proven ability to set outcomes and deliver against them.

• Demonstrable experience working with counterparts in engineering and security to develop and execute a multi-year strategy and roadmap.

• Hands-on experience using AI tooling and ways of working to deliver outcomes, and a strong builder mentality.

• Customer obsessed but outcome focused: experience finding novel solutions to client problems rather than defaulting to process.

• Exceptional communication and stakeholder management skills: comfortable with senior leadership, and experienced in presenting strategy, outcomes, risk and investment cases to get buy-in and support.

05Ideally, you’ll have

• Experience working across multiple global regions, with an understanding of implementing complex regulatory frameworks globally.

• Experience in regulated or data-sovereignty-sensitive markets (energy, utilities, financial services), including EU data residency.

• Experience with security or identity for a B2B SaaS platform that serves external clients, including federation with client identity providers.
