Title: Senior Product Security Consultant – Advisory

Department: Services, Strategic Advisory

Reports to: Head of Policy and Compliance

Location: Remote, United States. Must be authorized to work in the U.S. without sponsorship. Washington, DC area a plus.

Travel: Periodic, for client workshops, executive meetings, and industry events

About the role

Connected products run the world: vehicles, medical devices, industrial systems, critical infrastructure. The companies that build them face a wave of regulation, from the EU Cyber Resilience Act and Radio Equipment Directive to FDA premarket cybersecurity requirements and new U.S. supply chain rules. Few of them have a product security program built for it.

Finite State's Strategic Advisory practice helps them close that gap. We tell manufacturers what a regulation requires of their products, where they stand, what evidence they need, and the order of work to get there. Then we stay to help them run the program. As a Senior Product Security Consultant, you will lead those engagements from scoping to final deliverable and advise client security and engineering leaders. On some accounts you will act as the client's virtual Chief Product Security Officer.

You won't be starting from a blank page. You'll have Finite State's binary analysis platform, a dedicated engineering and offensive security team that tests the products you advise on, and AI tooling that speeds up research and drafting. Your job is the judgment, the structure, and the client relationship.

What you'll do

Lead advisory engagements end to end. Scope the work, set the work breakdown and milestone schedule at the start, run client meetings, track risks and actions, and deliver on time.

Frame regulatory programs for clients facing the EU CRA, CE RED (EN 18031), FDA 524B, and FCC Cyber Trust Mark. That covers product classification, the requirements that apply, gap assessment, what the evidence needs to show, the conformity path, and the roadmap.

Deliver security and regulatory compliance assessments, and turn the findings into prioritized recommendations you can defend.
