Role Overview
This is an excellent entry point for a security professional looking to grow into seasoned security specialist. Our team main focus is AI and SaaS security in a global pharma company. As an Associate Specialist on the Strategic Platforms Security AI Security team, you will support security assessments and deployment of security controls for SaaS systems, contribute to AI security initiatives, and develop hands-on expertise across a range of modern security tooling and platforms. Youll be mentored and work with experienced security engineers and work across cross-functional teams, gaining exposure to both technical security practice and enterprise risk management.
What should you have:
- Degree in Information Technology, Computer Science or any Technology stream.
- 1+ years of experience in cybersecurity, IT, or a related field (internships and academic projects count)
- A foundational understanding of application or cloud security concepts
- Willingness to learn fast and work through ambiguity - Youre curious by default
- Genuine curiosity about AI and generative AI security is a plus
- Knowing what RAG, MCP or OWASP Top 10 for LLMs is a benefit
- Exposure to cloud environments (AWS, Azure, or GCP), even at a basic level is a great benefit
- Some scripting or automation experience is nice to have
- You communicate clearly and ask good questions rather than making assumptions.
What will you do in this role:
- Evaluate the security posture of enterprise SaaS platforms. Reviewing configurations, identifying misconfigurations, and helping design mitigations
- Contribute to building and documenting security patterns for SaaS and AI systems that other teams can adopt
- Contribute to security evaluations of AI-based systems, applications, and agents learning to identify risks specific to LLM-powered and generative AI systems.
- Support the implementation of AI security controls such as guardrails, content filtering, and policy enforcement and ensure these controls feed into downstream integrations including SIEM/SOC pipelines and CI/CD security gates for continuous inspection
- Move beyond point-in-time monitoring toward a continuous inspect-and-adapt model: helping maintain integrations with downstream systems (SOC tooling, security pipelines, alerting) so that control signals flow automatically and response loops close faster.
What we look for:
Imagine getting up in the morning for a job as important as helping to save and improve lives around the world. Here, you have that opportunity. You can put your empathy, creativity, digital mastery, or scientific genius to work in collaboration with a diverse group of colleagues who pursue and bring hope to countless people who are battling some of the most challenging diseases of our time.
