You'll shape how we meet obligations like NIS2, PCI DSS, and SOX, and you'll make compliance the result of how we work, not a fire drill before each audit. You'll report to the Head of Security and work closely with Engineering, IT, Legal & Privacy, GRC, Internal Controls, and Internal Audit. This is a builder role. You'll set the direction, write the frameworks, and run them, with the backing to make them stick. Your mission Own the security policy framework. Write, maintain, and bring to approval our security policies and standards (policy → standard → procedure), and keep the policy register current. Run cyber risk management. Keep the cyber risk register, facilitate risk assessments with system and business owners, track treatment plans to closure, and report top risks to leadership as input to the enterprise risk view. Run security compliance programs. Coordinate PCI DSS, SOX, ITGC, and NIS2 activities, plus ISO 27001 readiness. Be the main Security contact for external auditors and assessors. Build continuous evidence. Keep one control framework mapped across regulations in our GRC platform (Vanta), and automate evidence collection with Engineering and IT so audits draw on what we already run. Manage regulatory obligations with Legal. Turn regulatory requirements into concrete controls. Support incident reporting procedures and management accountability, including training and approval cycles. Review third parties. Run the security step during vendor intake and reassessment, in collaboration with Procurement, Legal, and GRC. Measure what works.

A track record of writing policies and standards that were approved, adopted, and enforced. Experience designing or running a risk methodology and register, and getting risk owners outside Security to act on it. Enough technical depth to discuss cloud (AWS), SaaS, identity and access, and software delivery with engineers, and to tell evidence apart from paperwork. Experience with a GRC platform (Vanta, Drata, or similar) and an instinct to automate repeat work, including with AI tools. Clear, concise writing in English, and the ability to explain risk in business terms to leadership. Extras that give you an edge CISA, CISM, CRISC, CISSP, or ISO 27001 Lead Implementer/Auditor.
