Overview

------------

Tonal is the world's most intelligent strength training system, combining hardware, software, AI, computer vision, and world-class content to help people build strength and live healthier. Tonal is now expanding into healthcare and clinical applications, connecting strength training technology with providers, employers, and payers to deliver measurable health outcomes — raising the bar for what our IT and security function needs to deliver.

We're looking for a Director of IT & Security to own this function end-to-end. This role carries the highest privileges across our most sensitive systems and direct accountability for IT and security outcomes company-wide. You'll report to the VP of Business Technology and work closely with senior leadership. The ideal candidate has a start-up mentality — comfortable moving fast in a lean, resource-constrained environment, while never losing sight of the security and compliance discipline a healthcare-adjacent company requires.
