GDPR, ISO, SOC 2, etc.).  Certs such as CIPT, Security+, CySA+, CASP+, CISSP, and CCSP are also a plus.  Lastly, this is a job where relationships are key: your duties will take you into many other people’s job spheres, see you open lines of communication and drive investigation across teams, as well as providing inputs and outputs for others’ workflows.  The ability to build and maintain bridges based on trust is key.

• Uncover, document, and effectively surface any risks or issues you come across during the course of your work

• Build and manage a function which handles many one-off, as opposed to repetitive tasks.

• Mentor and manage staff which directly support SME’s in other teams with bespoke workflows.

• Solid general technical skills (application flows, common infrastructure components, Cloud, SaaS, etc.) 

• People management and talent development skills

• Workable understanding of common compliance frameworks and/or privacy standards such as GDPR, ISO, SOC 2, etc.

• Top tier written, oral, and visual communication skills

• A thirst for knowledge which will keep you current as regulations, the industry, Zendesk, and technology itself evolve.

• 3 + years experience working in a Security, Product Trust, or Engineering team

What we can do for you

• Provide you with the fast moving job experience that can only be had at a SaaS company or our scale

• Give you a home in a team that’s more like a gathering of friends.

• Present you with cutting edge problems without simple answers

• Carve out a space for you to learn, teach, create, grow, and own.
