VP, User Experience

About Us:

Delinea, Inc. is a leading identity security and privileged access management solutions provider that helps make security a seamless experience for the modern, hybrid enterprise. The company's solutions empower organizations to secure data, code, devices, and cloud infrastructure to help reduce risk, simplify security, and ensure compliance.

Cybersecurity companies are talking about identity security, but their approach is wrong, organizations are still challenged to control who has access to what at a time when users and machine privileges are getting more complex and decentralized, and not within their control.

Delinea's approach is different. We believe identity and privilege are the true security perimeter and that's why we built the first unified cloud-native authorization and privilege and data security platform.

As an employer, Delinea has offered freelance and full-time, hybrid work opportunities. Eligible roles may receive perks and benefits, including an engaging rewards program, health benefits, a long-term stock options program, discretionary time off, and a 401(k) retirement plan with an employer match. The company fosters a culture of innovation, respect, and fairness and promises career-defining exposures and experiences to the best and brightest people in the industry that make up its team.
