Every open chief information security officer role we track is on this page - nothing is held back behind a sign-up. The city chips read the employer’s own location line; a listing that names no city we can resolve stays searchable but sits out of them.
Open to remote only? 5 of the 13 chief information security officer listings that publish a work model came back remote-first, and 5 more are hybrid. The other 12 say nothing either way - that field is one only some boards publish.

Every figure here comes from a live posting with a stated annual base range. Nothing is modelled, inferred, or averaged in from a survey - which is also why the sample is smaller than the board.

About Chief Information Security Officer roles
The Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) job market currently shows 25 open positions across 24 hiring companies, based on available data. Five new roles were posted within the past week, suggesting a steady, if modest, pace of hiring activity for this executive-level security role. The relatively close ratio of open positions to hiring companies indicates that most organizations currently seeking a CISO are looking to fill a single senior security leadership position rather than multiple roles, which is typical for this type of high-level executive hire. Compensation data from posted listings shows a median salary of $265,500, with the 25th percentile at $246,812.50 and the 75th percentile at $295,150. This range reflects moderate variation in offered compensation, likely tied to factors such as company size, industry, and scope of responsibility, though the data available does not break down salary by these specific factors. Among the companies currently listed as top hirers for CISO roles are New York University, Cloudflare, Ethos Life, MorphoAI, and Red Ventures, representing a mix of higher education, technology, insurance, and other sectors seeking senior security leadership. This diversity suggests that demand for CISO-level expertise is not confined to any single industry but spans organizations with varying security and compliance needs. Overall, the current market for CISO roles appears to be a specialized, relatively small segment of the broader job market, consistent with the executive nature of the position. Candidates and employers alike should note that the figures reflect only currently posted roles and disclosed compensation data, and the market snapshot may shift as new postings appear or existing ones are filled.
What skills are in demand for CISO roles right now?
Based on current postings, specific skill requirements are not detailed in the available data, though CISO roles generally require broad security leadership experience. According to available data, the diversity of hiring companies across sectors like higher education, technology, and insurance suggests employers may value adaptable security governance expertise applicable across industries.
What salary range can CISO candidates expect?
According to available data, the median posted salary for CISO roles is $265,500, with a 25th percentile of $246,812.50 and a 75th percentile of $295,150. Based on current postings, this indicates most disclosed offers cluster within a fairly narrow executive-level compensation band.
Which companies are currently hiring for CISO positions?
Based on current postings, top hiring companies include New York University, Cloudflare, Ethos Life, MorphoAI, and Red Ventures. According to available data, these organizations span different industries, suggesting demand for CISO leadership is spread across varied sectors rather than concentrated in one.
How competitive is the CISO job market currently?
Based on current postings, there are 25 open CISO positions across 24 companies, with 5 new roles added in the past week, indicating a relatively small and steady market segment. According to available data, the limited number of openings relative to the specialized, executive nature of the role suggests competition may be significant, though exact applicant volume data is not available.
