Job Summary
Thomson Reuters is bringing AI into every layer of the products our customers rely on for answers across legal tax risk and news. Security cannot be an afterthought in that expansion. As Vice President AI Product Security you will own the technical rigor behind how we build and the credibility to defend it in front of the customers who ask hard questions.
This role reports directly to the CISO and has two core mandates. First embed security across the full AI stack we deliver including AI experiences agents agent harnesses models and context sources such as MCP. This requires shaping engineering decisions early by influencing and educating stakeholders on security requirements before code is written rather than identifying issues during post-launch reviews. Second represent that work externally by partnering with Customer Trust Product and Go-to-Market teams to explain with technical credibility how Thomson Reuters builds secure fiduciary-grade AI. Success will be measured by both the security of what we ship and the confidence customers have in it.
