Who we are looking for:

We are seeking a hands-on Director, Security and Compliance to build and own our security, data governance, and AI governance program as we scale. This is a rare "own it end to end" role. You won't be managing a large team or inheriting a mature GRC function. You'll be the single point of accountability for keeping customer trust, data, and AI systems secure and audit-ready, while working shoulder to shoulder with engineering, product, and sales.

This role sits at the intersection of three disciplines that are converging fast in AI-native companies: security compliance (SOC 2 and beyond), data governance, and AI governance/risk. You'll set the strategy and also do the work writing policies, running access reviews, managing auditors, and answering enterprise security questionnaires. This is also a certification-critical role. Maintaining our SOC 2 Type II report is a top-priority.

What you will get to do:

Security & Compliance Program

Own the renewal and continuous operation of our SOC 2 Type II report and serve as primary liaison to our audit firm
Mature the existing control environment: reduce manual evidence collection, tighten scope as new products/systems come online, and keep controls audit-ready year-round rather than sprinting before each renewal
Develop, document, and operate controls that maximize risk mitigation and remain compliant with our target regulatory frameworks (SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA, PCI, GDPR/CCPA), and work directly with auditors to ensure ongoing compliance
Expand our attestation footprint as needed based on customer and market demand (ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR/CCPA, or SOC 2 + additional Trust Services Criteria like Privacy)
Serve as the primary point of contact for customer security reviews, questionnaires, and due-diligence requests during the sales cycle
Maintain the company's security policy suite, risk register, and incident response plan; run tabletop exercises

Data Governance

Establish data classification, retention, and access-control standards across production systems, data warehouses, and SaaS tools
Partner with engineering to implement least-privilege access, encryption standards, and data lifecycle management
Develop and implement secure software development lifecycle (SDLC) policies in partnership with engineering, along with environmental and physical security standards
Own vendor/third-party risk management, including security review of new SaaS and AI tools before adoption
Assist Legal with customer and vendor contractual negotiations related to security and data privacy obligations

AI Governance & Risk

Build the company's AI governance framework: acceptable use policies, model/vendor risk assessment, and oversight of how AI features and internal AI tools handle customer and employee data
Track emerging AI-specific standards (NIST AI RMF, ISO 42001) and translate them into practical, lightweight controls appropriate for our stage
Partner with product/engineering on responsible AI practices for customer-facing AI features (data usage disclosures, model risk review, opt-out mechanisms)
Provide security and compliance input on shadow AI risk — discovery and governance of AI tools used across the company

Leadership & Cross-Functional Partnership

Act as a trusted advisor to the executive team and board on security and compliance posture
Partner with Sales and Customer Success as a credible technical voice in enterprise deals
Build out the security/compliance function

What Success Looks Like in This Role:

Every SOC 2 Type II audit cycle closes with zero exceptions and no gaps in control coverage between periods
Evidence collection and control monitoring run continuously in the background (via automation tooling)
Enterprise security questionnaires and customer due-diligence requests are turned around quickly and don't bottleneck sales cycles
A documented, living AI governance framework is in place and actually used and new AI tools and features get risk-reviewed before adoption, not after an incident
Data classification, retention, and access-control standards are documented, adopted by engineering, and hold up under audit scrutiny
Executives and the board have a clear, current view of security/compliance position and risk at all times
The security/compliance function scales appropriately as the company grows

Knowledge and Skills:

Direct, hands-on experience operating and renewing an existing SOC 2 Type II program including managing annual/ongoing audit cycles
Working knowledge of data governance practices; classification, retention, access review, and privacy regulations (CCPA/GDPR)
Familiarity with AI governance concepts and frameworks (NIST AI RMF, OWASP LLM Top 10, ISO 42001) you don't need to be an ML engineer, but you need to speak the language credibly
Comfort operating without a large team or established playbook; equally comfortable writing a policy and configuring a compliance automation tool yourself
Strong written and verbal communication skills as you'll translate technical risk into plain language for executives, auditors, and enterprise customers
Experience with compliance automation platforms (Vanta, Drata, Secureframe, or similar)
Vendor/third-party risk assessment and management skills
Ability to build credibility directly with enterprise customers and prospects on security and trust topics

Education and Qualifications:

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Security, or a related field
6+ years of experience across security, compliance, IT/GRC, or risk management
At least 2+ years running a SOC 2 program day-to-day (evidence collection, control monitoring, auditor management)

Preferred Certifications

CISSP, CISM, CIPP, or CISA
Experience achieving or maintaining ISO 27001 or ISO 42001

Worksite Location: This is a remote role. Candidates must be based in the United States. Regular travel is expected for partner meetings, business reviews, industry events, and company gatherings.

This role is not eligible for visa sponsorship.

We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses and identifying potential inconsistencies or verification signals in application materials based on available information. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans. If you would like more information about how your data is processed, please contact us.

While we may use AI tools to support parts of our hiring process, applicants and candidates may not use AI tools (such as chatbots, writing assistants, or real-time response generators etc.) to complete application materials, assessments, or interviews. Responses should reflect your own knowledge, skills, and communication style. If our review indicates that AI was used in a manner inconsistent with this expectation, we will not move forward with your candidacy.
