    About the Role

    We’re hiring a senior security, risk, and compliance leader to build and scale our governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) program at a rapidly growing investment firm.

    In this highly visible role, you will own our compliance strategy end-to-end, from SOC 2 and SOX readiness to third-party risk, audit management, and control frameworks. You’ll partner directly with the CTO and work cross-functionally with Engineering, IT, Legal, Finance, and business operations to embed security and compliance into how the company operates.

    This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who enjoys building structure, driving accountability, and creating scalable programs that support business growth in a regulated, high-stakes environment.

    Role Overview

    As our senior compliance and risk leader, you will be responsible for designing, operating, and continuously improving our security and compliance infrastructure.

    You will:

    • Own and manage our SOC 2 and SOX compliance programs, including audit readiness, execution, and remediation

    • Lead third-party risk management and vendor security assessments

    • Operate and optimize our GRC platform (Vanta, LogicGate, Secureframe, or similar)

    • Manage external audits and coordinate with auditors and internal stakeholders

    • Design and maintain control frameworks aligned with NIST 800-53, ISO 27001, and HITRUST

    • Partner with Engineering and IT to ensure controls are built directly into systems and processes

    • Work closely with Legal, Finance, and business leaders to ensure compliance supports business objectives — not slows them down

    You’ll report directly to the CTO and serve as a trusted advisor to executive leadership as the organization continues to scale.

    Must-Have Qualifications

    • 8–10+ years of experience in IT compliance, information security, risk management, or related roles within regulated or high-growth environments

    • Proven ownership of SOC 2 and/or SOX compliance programs, including audit readiness, execution, and remediation

    • Hands-on experience implementing and operating GRC platforms such as Vanta, LogicGate, Secureframe, or similar

    • Deep experience leading third-party risk management programs and conducting vendor security assessments

    • Demonstrated success managing external audits and driving remediation efforts across technical and business teams

    • Strong working knowledge of security and control frameworks including NIST 800-53, ISO 27001, and HITRUST

    • Ability to partner cross-functionally with Engineering, IT, Legal, Finance, and executive leadership

    • Track record of building scalable compliance programs that support business growth rather than slow it down
