Our Mission
Frontera exists to close the care gap: every child, no matter where they live, should be able to access effective behavioral healthcare.
Role Overview
Frontera is hiring a Head of Information Security/Compliance to own our cloud security posture and compliance program as we scale. This isn't a compliance-generalist seat that partners with engineering from the outside - we need someone with real cloud security depth who can operate inside our AWS infrastructure, hold SOC 2 audits, and be the senior security voice both internally and in front of customers and boards. As we sell into healthcare and enterprise, this role is central to Frontera being trusted with sensitive data at scale.
What You'll Own
- Own Frontera's cloud security architecture and posture on AWS, including IAM design
- Run and own SOC 2 audits against our AWS infrastructure — not just coordinate them, but do the hands-on work
- Build and mature Frontera's compliance program as we scale into enterprise and healthcare customers
- Serve as the senior security voice in customer and prospect conversations — sitting on security reviews with prospects and customers, not just internal audits
- Present security and compliance posture to customers, partners, and the board
- Partner with Engineering to embed security into how we build, without becoming a bottleneck
- Build the security and compliance function from the ground up: policy, process, and tooling
Qualifications
- 8-12 years of security/compliance experience, including hands-on work running SOC 2 audits against AWS cloud infrastructure — not managed a team that did, or partnered with engineering from a compliance-manager seat
- Hands-on IAM architecture experience
- Cloud security certification(s)
- Has sat on security reviews directly with prospects or customers, and can speak to how those conversations went
- Enterprise fluency — comfortable being the senior security presence in front of customers, partners, and boards
Preferred
- Healthcare or regulated-industry background
- Fractional CISO experience at a digital health company, especially if you're looking to move in-house
- Security leadership at a Series B-D health tech company
- An engineering background that grew into compliance ownership, with strong infrastructure or platform depth
