About this role

This is a security operations leadership role that demands someone who has operated in high-stakes, time-critical environments where seconds determine outcomes. The ideal candidate brings a law enforcement or military background - ideally special operations - combined with the ability to translate tactical expertise into scalable product testing frameworks, operational playbooks, and measurable deterrence outcomes. You will define what "effective deterrence" means for Ring and drive continuous improvement across Ring serivces including VSG, AI proactive features (person detection, automated deterrence, smart alerts), and emerging security capabilities. You will partner cross-functionally across Product, Engineering, AI/ML, Operations, Legal, and external partners to ensure every feature Ring ships actually stops crime - not just detects it. Key job responsibilities Own the definition, measurement, and continuous improvement of Ring's crime deterrence capability across all products and services. Define methodology, establish facilities or field testing partnerships, and create repeatable test protocols. Define the deterrence effectiveness framework: what metrics matter (response time to intervention, deterrence success rate, escalation accuracy, dispatch outcomes), how they're measured, and what "good" looks like.
