We believe that mental health is just as important as physical health. We recognize that mental health issues can be complex and multifaceted, and we are dedicated to treating the whole person, not just the symptoms.

We aim to create a world where mental health is no longer stigmatized or marginalized, but rather is embraced as an integral part of one's overall well-being. 

We believe that by providing quality care that is both evidence-based and compassionate, we can empower individuals to take charge of their mental health and achieve their full potential. We are passionate about making a positive impact on the lives of those struggling with mental health issues and we strive to be a force for positive change in the field of mental healthcare.

About the Role

Rula’s mission is to make mental healthcare work for everyone. We are the stewards of our patient’s and provider’s data and we operate in a HIPAA compliant environment. This role will lead Rula’s Security and IT organizations to ensure that we are building in a secure way, using data in the business in a compliant way, and ensuring our physical assets are configured to protect Rula and its data. 

This role is an opportunity to join a small and growing company to lead a mature IT organization while simultaneously maturing our security function. You will be building out a security team, working cross-functionally across the company to define the strategy and champion our security posture.

This is not a pure leadership role at our current size and we will look to leverage your background in security engineering or security operations to directly support your team’s outputs. 

You will have a leadership voice across the company in matters related to software and cyber security and partner closely with engineering to extend best practices in secure coding and compliance and work cross-functionally across the company to champion security and compliance efforts.
