    • Work closely with our business development and supply teams to coordinate the incoming due diligence, information security, and other regulatory compliance reviews from current and prospective customers and outgoing reviews of data suppliers, including credit bureaus.
    • Lead and manage a team of IT security professionals, providing guidance, development, and support to ensure the effective execution of security initiatives.
    • Be a key stakeholder in information security, driving critical initiatives to our customers and program maturity.
    • Conduct regular risk assessments, audits, and vulnerability tests to identify potential security threats and develop mitigation strategies.
  • Within the first year:
    • Develop and implement the organization's IT security strategy, policies, and procedures.
    • Lead the development of a roadmap to enhance our information security and compliance operations.
    • Work closely with our compliance program management software and auditors to drive continuous improvement of our compliance program.
Requirements
  • Over 8 years of experience in compliance or information security roles, with a background in financial services, financial technology, startups, consulting, or other relevant fields.
  • Strong expertise in managing information security programs and risk management.
  • Professional certifications in security management, such as Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP), Certified Information Security Manager (CISM), Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA), or equivalent.
  • Proficient in ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements and industry standards, including GDPR, NIST 800-53, NIST Cybersecurity Framework, HIPAA, and ISO 27001.
  • A deep understanding of security risks, threats, and the latest industry trends and technologies to keep IT security operations current and effective.
  • A proven track record in developing and implementing security awareness programs to educate employees about best practices and foster a strong security culture within the organization.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills with the ability to effectively convey security and risk-related concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences.
