## Job description

Sentra is the AI Data Readiness platform for enterprises deploying AI at scale. Sentra continuously discovers, classifies, and governs sensitive data across cloud, SaaS, data

warehouses, and AI environments - giving security teams complete visibility into what AI systems can access, what they can expose, and where compliance violations exist. Unlike alternatives that copy data to vendor clouds or require customer-managed outpost infrastructure, Sentra provisions ephemeral scanners directly inside the customer's environment, delivering petabyte-scale classification at a fraction of the cost. Trusted by ADP, Lyft, SoFi, Instacart, Rivian, PennyMac, Glovo and others.

Sentra is a Series C powerhouse in the Data security/DSPM space, backed by over $250M in funding, led by Bessemer Venture Partners, Zeev Ventures, Standard Investments, Key1, Munich Re and Capital One. With dual headquarters in Tel Aviv and New York City, our rapidly growing team of 120+ employees is on a mission to revolutionize cloud security for companies worldwide.

As we continue to scale, we’re looking for a dynamic and strategic VP of People to help shape and drive our people-first culture. This is an incredible opportunity to join an ambitious, high-growth startup and make a lasting impact by building and scaling a world-class HR infrastructure across our global teams in the US and Israel. The current people team comprises four team members globally. This position will be reporting to the company’s CEO and will be a member of the management team of the company.

In this high-energy, people-centric role, you’ll be a key executive team member, leading talent strategy, fostering an exceptional culture, and ensuring that Sentra remains a top destination for the best and brightest minds in cybersecurity. You’ll be at the forefront of our expansion, working with a talented global HR team to support our mission and fuel our growth.

We’re looking for an HR leader who thrives in fast-paced environments, is passionate about people and culture, and is eager to build something extraordinary. If you’re ready to take Sentra's talent strategy to the next level, we'd love to hear from you!

Join us and be part of the journey to shape the future of cloud security!
