Director - CrowdStrike AIDR Architect

Location: United States

At Kroll, we provide reactive, advisory, transformation, and managed security services to support clients at every stage of their path toward cyber and data resilience maturity. Our experts bring decades of experience in cyber risk consultancy, helping organizations across the world simplify and reduce the complexity of implementing, transforming, and managing their cyber programs.

 

As organizations rapidly adopt generative AI, agentic AI systems, AI copilots, and custom AI applications, the attack surface is evolving beyond traditional infrastructure, identity, and application security. Kroll is building the next generation of AI security services to help clients secure AI systems, protect sensitive data, govern AI usage, and defend against emerging adversarial AI threats.

 

We are seeking a Director, AI Security Architecture to lead the design, delivery, and growth of Kroll’s AI security architecture and engineering practice.

 

The Director, AI Security Architecture is responsible for building and leading Kroll’s AI Security Architecture capability, helping organizations securely adopt generative AI, agentic AI, and AI-powered applications at enterprise scale.

 

This role combines executive advisory, security architecture, practice leadership, and hands-on technical delivery. The Director will lead a team of architects and consultants responsible for designing, deploying, integrating, and operationalizing AI security technologies, with particular focus on CrowdStrike Falcon AI Detection and Response (AIDR), AI application security, AI governance controls, agent security, AI runtime protection, and AI-enabled security operations.

 

This is not a purely managerial role. The Director will remain deeply involved in architecture design, technical solution development, client delivery, and emerging AI security research while leading a growing team of specialists.

 

The Director will partner closely with CrowdStrike, hyperscale cloud providers, AI platform vendors, and Kroll’s Cloud Security, Identity, Data Protection, Security Operations, Incident Response, and Managed Security teams to build market-leading AI security services.

 

This role reports into Cyber and Data Resilience leadership and serves as one of Kroll’s senior AI security subject matter experts.
