The Technology & Data portfolio, provides the digital infrastructure, engineering and data capabilities that enable effective delivery, innovation and learning across the B Lab Global Network. It brings together four groups:
Technology & Data Leadership, Product & Platform Engineering, Data & AI, and Infrastructure & Information Management.

Infrastructure & Information Management (Operational Technology) is responsible for information security, workforce enablement and the adoption of digital tools across the network. It ensures resilience through secure, reliable infrastructure, and manages hosting, networks, access and incident response.

The team is evolving from a function that supported a relatively uniform, single-organization tech stack of approximately 150 users into a globally coordinated department supporting approximately 500 users across a broad range of regions, time zones, languages, technical maturity levels and operational practices. As B Lab consolidates multiple historically independent organizations into a unified operating model through the network transformation, Op Tech is adding regional IT support coverage (US & Canada, Europe, UK, Latin America, APAC & AANZ, with shared coverage for Africa) and dedicated security ownership, while keeping centralized governance, platform ownership and alignment of internal technology initiatives.

The Lead conducts security audits and risk assessments, sets and enforces baseline security standards, maintains our information security policy set, co‑ordinates incident response, and supports data protection compliance in the jurisdictions where B Lab operates.

• Conduct regular security audits and risk assessments of network systems, applications and processes, and maintain a prioritized risk register
• Establish and maintain a security baseline across the network, aligned to a recognized framework (for example ISO/IEC 27001:2022)
• Track and report security posture and maturity over time to the Technology leadership team, with clear metrics
• Run security reviews of new and existing vendors and technology platforms (third-party risk), including SaaS tools used by regional and market teams
• Coordinate external penetration testing and vulnerability scanning, and track remediation with system owners

• Define and monitor access control standards (MFA, SSO, least privilege, joiner/mover/leaver processes) across core platforms such as Google Workspace and Salesforce
• Partner with Regional IT Administrators on endpoint and device security standards for a…
