In this role, you'll lead the implementation and management of our security operations, policies, and compliance processes. You’ll work cross-functionally to ensure our systems, data, and employees follow best practices and meet relevant regulatory requirements.

This is a foundational role for our security efforts—ideal for someone who enjoys building systems, and shaping policies in a small, fast-paced environment.

Key Responsibilities

  • Maintain and continuously improve the company's information security practices, tools, and procedures.

  • Monitor internal systems for vulnerabilities or breaches, and lead incident response efforts when necessary.

  • Develop, implement, and enforce security policies, standards, and procedures across the organization.
    Lead and manage compliance initiatives related to frameworks such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, and GDPR.

  • Provide security training and awareness programs to employees across all departments.

  • Evaluate and manage the security posture of third-party vendors and cloud services.

  • Collaborate with engineering and IT teams to embed security best practices into systems and workflows.

  • Stay current with emerging threats, technologies, and regulatory changes that may impact the company’s security posture.

Qualifications

  • 7+ years of hands-on experience in information security, IT security, or a related field.
    Familiarity with common security and compliance frameworks (SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST, GDPR, etc.).

  • Strong understanding of modern IT infrastructure (cloud services, SaaS, access controls, security architecture, etc.).

  • Excellent communication skills—you can translate complex security concepts for non-technical teams.

  • Experience in a startup or small company environment is a plus.

Nice to Have

  • Relevant certifications (e.g., CISSP, CISM, CompTIA Security+, ISO 27001 Lead Implementer).
