From our Customer Care representatives to our software engineer, every individual at Back Market cuts the planet — and consumers — a break. Our mission is simple: to do more with what we already have.
Are you ready to join us?Back Market is looking for a Director of Cybersecurity & IT to define and lead the next phase of our security and technology operations maturity. Reporting to the VP of Platform Engineering, you will be a strategic leader at the intersection of cybersecurity, IT, risk, compliance, and business growth.
You will lead a multi-disciplinary organization through its existing functional managers, creating the clarity, operating rhythm, and investment focus needed to protect Back Market while enabling the company to move quickly. The scope includes cybersecurity strategy and risk management, security operations, governance and compliance, IT operations, IT support, and the corporate technology foundations that keep our people productive and our business resilient.
This is a director-level role, not a super-sized operational manager role. You will not be expected to personally own every process or make every technical decision. Your impact will come from setting direction, developing leaders, aligning stakeholders, making sound investment choices, and ensuring that the organization delivers measurable outcomes.



You will be the senior voice who makes cybersecurity and IT understandable, actionable, and connected to the business.
