Position overview

We’re looking for a Compliance Manager to build and scale the programs that keep our organization secure, trusted, and audit-ready. This role will lead our SOC 2 compliance efforts, security onboarding, and strengthen company-wide governance processes as we grow. You’ll work cross-functionally with Security, Engineering, Product and Operations to design practical controls, streamline workflows, and embed compliance into how we work every day.

Key responsibilities

• Lead the planning, execution, and ongoing management of the company’s SOC 2 program, ensuring alignment with regulatory standards and business objectives.

• Partner cross-functionally (Engineering, Security, Product, Operations) to implement and maintain SOC 2 controls across security, availability, confidentiality, processing integrity, and privacy.

• Drive audit readiness through gap assessments, remediation tracking, auditor management, and timely evidence collection.

• Develop and maintain policies, procedures, and control documentation, leveraging automation and continuous monitoring to streamline compliance.

• Support compliance with global data privacy regulations (e.g., GDPR, CCPA) in partnership with Legal, Security, and Product teams.

• Contribute to Privacy Impact Assessments (PIAs) and Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs).

• Support implementation of data subject rights processes (e.g., access, deletion, portability) and ensure documentation reflects current regulatory requirements.

• Monitor evolving privacy regulations and operationalize updates as needed.

• Standardize and enforce secure onboarding/off boarding and access control processes, maintaining least-privilege principles through regular reviews.

• Integrate security and compliance reviews into procurement and tool approval workflows.

• Lead policy development and company-wide compliance training, embedding best practices across teams and driving leadership alignment.
  

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience in compliance, information security, risk management, or related fields ideally in a high-growth or tech environment.

• Proven experience building or managing SOC 2 programs, including control implementation, audit readiness, and ongoing monitoring.

• Strong understanding of security frameworks and operational compliance (e.g., SOC 2 Trust Service Criteria, ISO 27001, access control models, vendor risk management).

• Hands-on experience with onboarding/offboarding processes, access reviews, vendor assessments, and policy development.

• Excellent cross-functional collaboration skills, with the ability to influence without direct authority and drive adoption across teams.

• Strong project management abilities; able to prioritize, operationalize, and scale compliance programs in fast-moving environments.

• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to translate regulatory requirements into clear business processes.

• Experience with GRC tools, evidence automation platforms, or other compliance technologies is a plus.
