You’ll work closely with engineering, product, and leadership teams to maintain compliance with frameworks like SOC 2, CJIS, HIPAA, ISO 27001, GDPR, NIST 800-53, and FedRAMP as our business expands across new markets and government sectors.

- Manage and organize compliance documentation, internal audits, and evidence collection for both internal and external stakeholders.
- Collaborate with internal teams to update policies, procedures, and controls related to data protection, access management, and incident response.

- Use compliance management tools such as Vanta, Drata, SecureFrame, or HyperProof to streamline reporting and evidence collection.

- Contribute to audit readiness and help respond to customer and vendor compliance inquiries.
- Be based in one of our hubs, with a 4-day-per-week in-office requirement.

- Technical Knowledge: Understanding of cloud-native SaaS environments, microservices, VPCs/VPNs, and identity management concepts such as RBAC and MFA.
- Detail-Oriented: You thrive on structure, accuracy, and organization - especially when managing documentation and multiple compliance tasks.
- Collaborative & Curious: You enjoy learning from others, contributing to shared goals, and improving processes along the way.
- Clear Communicator: You can translate complex security concepts into simple, actionable language for different audiences.
