Why This Role Matters 

Build Secure Products, Enable Fast Teams and Raise the Bar.

As Principal Product Security Consultant, you will play a pivotal role in shaping how security is embedded into Hansen’s software ecosystem. This is not a compliance‑only role; it is about modern, scalable, developer‑aligned product security.

You will:

• Define and mature Hansen’s enterprise Product Security and Application Security program

• Enable engineering teams to deliver faster, safer software through pragmatic tooling, guidance, and automation

• Act as a hands‑on technical authority and trusted advisor, influencing how security is designed into products from day one

• Champion the use of AI and automation in the SDLC, improving signal quality, reducing friction, and driving meaningful security outcomes

• Your impact will be visible across global product teams, influencing everything from threat modelling and tooling adoption to developer enablement and vulnerability transparency.

What You’ll Do 

• Lead Product & Application Security Uplift: Design, evolve, and execute an enterprise‑wide Product Security and AppSec program aligned to business priorities.

• Embed Security into the SDLC: Provide hands‑on guidance to engineering teams on secure design, development, and delivery practices.

• Own AppSec Tooling & Platforms: Operate, improve, and optimise security tooling (SAST, DAST, SCA, IaC, container scanning), reducing noise while increasing adoption and impact.

• Enable Teams, Not Block Them: Evangelise secure development practices through enablement, documentation, and a thriving Security Champions program.

• Threat Model What Matters: Establish and operationalise threat modelling practices across products, coaching teams to think adversarially and proactively.

• Bring AI into AppSec: Champion and integrate AI capabilities within the SDLC and security platforms to enhance detection, prioritisation, and insight.

• Measure & Communicate Risk: Build meaningful reporting that provides leadership with a clear, enterprise-wide view of product security posture and vulnerability risk.

What You Bring

• Proven experience leading or building a Product Security program in a complex software environment

• Strong background in software engineering or DevOps, or equivalent demonstrable technical expertise

• Deep knowledge of application security tooling, platforms, and CI/CD integrations

• Experience configuring policies, tests, and guardrails within modern delivery pipelines

• Ability to influence, coach, and partner with engineers and product leaders

• Confidence operating as a senior approval and advisory layer for higher‑risk application architectures

• A pragmatic mindset - focused on outcomes, not theory

Nice to have

• Familiarity with security frameworks and their practical application in AppSec

• Experience with threat modelling methodologies (and training others to use them)

• Awareness of regulatory and privacy requirements (e.g. GDPR)

• Relevant security certifications (e.g. CSSLP, GIAC, AWS/Azure Security, OSCP, CEH)
