About the Role

Flagship's GRC program has matured from build to operate. We have a functioning GRC system of record in Jira, active compliance tracks across HITRUST, NIST 800-171, ISO 27001, and SOC 2, and a TPRM workflow in production. What we need now is a hands-on practitioner who can execute against that infrastructure — someone who is as comfortable running a vendor risk assessment in Jira as they are prepping evidence packages for an audit. This is not a policy-writing or director-level role. It is a technical execution role for someone who gets things done.

What You'll Do

• Own day-to-day execution of the GRC system of record in Jira — maintaining control records, updating compliance status, logging implementation and auditor notes, and keeping the SOR current across all active frameworks
• Run TPRM assessments end-to-end: intake, questionnaire review, risk scoring, CISO decision documentation, and post-approval tracking
• Coordinate audit evidence collection and control testing activities across HITRUST, ISO 27001, SOC 2, and NIST 800-171 frameworks, working directly with the external audit firm
• Maintain the compliance calendar and drive sprint-by-sprint execution against framework deadlines
• Manage sub-processor and DPA tracking for portfolio company privacy programs, including gap identification and remediation follow-up
• Support DSR and privacy program operations, including data inventory maintenance and deletion workflow tracking
• Build and maintain GRC automation using AI tools (Claude, Jira automation, Zapier) to reduce manual burden on recurring compliance tasks
• Produce clear, accurate reporting on compliance posture for the CISO and cross-functional stakeholders

What We're Looking For

• 3–6 years of hands-on GRC experience, ideally in a fast-moving tech or life sciences environment
• Direct experience working in Jira as a compliance or GRC tool — not just a project management tool; you should understand issue types, custom fields, bulk operations, and reporting
• Working knowledge of at least two of: HITRUST CSF, ISO 27001, NIST 800-171/CMMC, SOC 2, HIPAA
• Experience running vendor risk assessments — intake to decision — not just filling out questionnaires
• Comfort with AI-assisted work: you should already be using tools like Claude or ChatGPT to accelerate your GRC work, not learning to do so for the first time
• Strong written communication — you'll be producing evidence narratives, audit responses, and control documentation that external auditors and regulators will read
• Ability to operate with high autonomy; the CISO will provide direction but not day-to-day supervision

Nice to Have

• CISA, CRISC, CISM, or equivalent certification
• Experience with privacy program operations (CCPA, GDPR, DSR workflows)
• Familiarity with Drata, Vanta, or similar compliance automation platforms
• Experience supporting a portfolio company or multi-entity compliance program

Why This Role

You'll own a real compliance program, not support someone else's. The CISO is your direct partner, not a distant approver. You'll use modern tools — Jira, Claude, Zapier — to do GRC work that most teams still do in spreadsheets. And you'll have visibility into a genuinely diverse security environment spanning drug discovery AI, clinical platforms, and life sciences infrastructure.

We are an equal opportunity employer. All qualified applicants will be considered for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law. 

We recognize that great candidates often bring unique strengths without fulfilling every qualification. If you have some of the experience listed above but not all, please apply anyway.

About the Role

The Information Security team has strong detection and response capability and a maturing compliance program. This is a greenfield opportunity to build Flagship’s cloud security and application security engineering practice in earnest — with the CISO and Director of Security Engineering as your strategic partners and a well-resourced program behind you. You’ll define how cloud posture management, SSDLC security, and cloud-side DLP get done at Flagship — in deep partnership with the Infrastructure & Operations team, who are your primary counterparts for cloud architecture, network, and endpoint infrastructure. What makes this role distinctive is the expectation that you’ll build AI-augmented workflows from the start — using LLMs and agentic tooling to handle the routine 80% so your expertise stays focused on the 20% that actually requires human judgment. If you want to own a practice area rather than execute someone else’s playbook, this is that role. You'll own the technical execution of cloud security and AppSec across Flagship and its portfolio, working directly with engineering teams to embed security into their pipelines, not just review them after the fact.

What You'll Own

• Cloud security posture management: own remediation execution against Wiz findings in close partnership with Infrastructure & Operations — building shared remediation playbooks, coordinating finding resolution across AWS environments, and ensuring security controls are implemented consistently with I&O’s infrastructure standards
• CI/CD and SSDLC security: design and implement security guardrails in engineering pipelines — SAST, secrets scanning, IaC security, container scanning — working directly with portfolio engineering teams, and building AI-powered pipeline security automation (e.g., LLM-assisted code review, automated fix suggestions for SAST findings) that reduces developer friction and scales security coverage beyond what manual review allows
• Cloud-side DLP enforcement: build and operationalize data loss prevention controls at the cloud and application layer, not just policy definition
• Cloud identity and access: own technical execution on Entra/Azure AD conditional access, BYOD policy enforcement, and cloud identity governance in partnership with Infrastructure & Operations, who manage the underlying directory and endpoint infrastructure
• Detection engineering (cloud layer): write and tune cloud-side detection rules and contribute to alert fidelity improvements in partnership with the SOC
• AI platform security: contribute to security architecture reviews and guardrail design for AI-powered portfolio products, including Bedrock and EKS-based platforms
• Serve as the embedded security engineering partner for portfolio company engineering teams — not a reviewer at the end of the process, but a collaborator throughout it
• Design and maintain AI-augmented workflows across all functional areas you own — using LLMs, agentic tooling, and automation to multiply your own capacity. You'll be expected to treat AI as a core part of your engineering toolkit, not an experiment: building prompt-driven triage pipelines, automating remediation drafting, and continuously identifying where human judgment is the bottleneck versus where it's being wasted on pattern-matchable work.

What We're Looking For

• 5+ years in cloud security, application security, or a closely related security engineering discipline
• Deep hands-on experience with AWS security services (Security Hub, GuardDuty, IAM, SCPs, CloudTrail) and cloud posture tooling — Wiz experience strongly preferred
• Practical AppSec experience: you've integrated SAST/DAST/SCA tooling into CI/CD pipelines and worked directly with developers to resolve findings, not just filed tickets
• Experience with cloud identity platforms — Entra ID / Azure AD, including conditional access policy design and enforcement
• Ability to write infrastructure-as-code and scripting to automate security controls (Python, Terraform, or equivalent), including comfort working with LLM APIs, prompt engineering, and agentic orchestration frameworks
• Demonstrated experience building AI-augmented security workflows — you've used LLMs, agentic frameworks, or AI-assisted tooling to automate security tasks at scale, not just experimented with ChatGPT. You should be able to articulate which security problems are well-suited to AI automation and which aren't.
• Strong enough communication skills to be credible with engineering leadership and portfolio company CTOs — you’ll be in technical design reviews, not just security reviews Proven ability to build trusted working relationships with Infrastructure & Operations teams — you approach I&O as a partner, not a gatekeeper, and can influence security outcomes through collaboration rather than mandate
• Comfort operating as a self-directed practitioner in a lean team; this role requires you to set your own execution priorities within a defined strategic direction

Nice to Have

• Experience securing ML/AI platforms — Bedrock, SageMaker, or comparable environments
• AWS Security Specialty, GWEB, OSCP, or equivalent certification
• Experience in a portfolio company or multi-entity security model
• Familiarity with HIPAA technical safeguard requirements and PHI data flows in cloud environments
• Experience designing or operating agentic AI workflows for security operations
• Container and Kubernetes security experience (EKS, image scanning, network policy)

Why This Role

This is a net-new capability role on a small team — you won't be executing someone else's existing playbook, you'll be building the cloud and AppSec program from a solid foundation.

Role Summary:

The Director, IT Service Delivery & Operations is a senior leadership role operating at the intersection of strategy and execution. This position serves as the critical bridge between IT leadership priorities and operational delivery — translating strategic direction into actionable plans and ensuring execution remains aligned with organizational goals.

This role does not directly execute service delivery; it enables those who do. The Director establishes governance frameworks, defines performance expectations, and provides the structure, visibility, and accountability required for delivery teams to succeed. The role also leads initiative implementation through structured hypercare, ensuring successful adoption and transition into steady-state operations.

Working closely with the Sr. Director of IT Service Delivery, this leader co-shapes the service roadmap, advances ITIL 4 service management maturity, and builds the operational discipline required to scale IT services across Flagship and its portfolio.

Role Context

This role operates in close partnership with two key functions:

• Director, IT Service Delivery – owns execution of the service model, delivery teams, and stakeholder relationships.
• Service Excellence Manager – owns process design, reporting, ITSM practices, and operational coordination.

The Director, IT Service Delivery & Operations defines the governance, accountability, and performance frameworks within which these functions operate — enabling consistent, high-quality execution without owning day-to-day delivery.

Key Responsibilities

1. Strategy-to-Execution Leadership

• Translate IT strategy into structured implementation plans with clear milestones, ownership, and success metrics.
• Partner on roadmap planning, prioritization, and sequencing of initiatives.
• Lead initiatives through hypercare, ensuring adoption, issue resolution, and smooth transition to steady state.
• Provide change leadership to delivery teams — setting expectations, removing barriers, and ensuring clarity.
• Maintain visibility into initiative progress; escalate risks, blockers, and decisions proactively.

2. Governance & Performance Oversight

• Define and govern SLAs, KPIs, OLAs, and reporting frameworks aligned to ITIL 4 principles.
• Interpret service performance data to identify systemic issues and improvement opportunities.
• Own the Continual Service Improvement (CSI) program, setting priorities and sponsoring initiatives.
• Conduct regular operating reviews; provide coaching and accountability across functions.
• Ensure customer experience metrics (e.g., CSAT/NPS) are measured and acted upon.

3. IT Asset Management (ITAM) Governance

• Establish and govern the ITAM program, including policies, lifecycle standards, and data integrity.
• Define CMDB governance and accountability for accuracy and completeness.
• Guide asset lifecycle processes (procurement, deployment, refresh, disposition).
• Leverage asset data to inform investment, lifecycle planning, and cost optimization.
• Partner with Finance and Procurement to align asset strategy with budgets and forecasts.

4. Vendor Governance & Performance

• Define vendor governance frameworks, onboarding standards, and performance expectations.
• Establish and enforce SLAs/KPIs within vendor contracts.
• Lead vendor performance reviews and drive accountability through data-backed insights.
• Partner with Legal and Procurement on renewals, negotiations, and performance remediation.

5. ITIL 4 & ITSM Maturity

• Assess current ITSM capabilities and define a multi-year ITIL 4 maturity roadmap.
• Sponsor adoption of core practices (Incident, Problem, Change, Service Request, Service Level).
• Establish governance forums (e.g., CAB, Problem Review Board) with clear decision structures.
• Govern ITSM platforms to ensure alignment with processes and continuous optimization.
• Track and report on service management maturity and performance trends.

6. Team Enablement & Leadership

• Define clear roles, responsibilities, and accountability structures across service delivery functions.
• Coach and develop team leaders, fostering a culture of accountability and continuous improvement.
• Build organizational capability, talent pipelines, and succession plans.
• Promote a culture grounded in customer focus, operational rigor, and data-driven decision-making.

7. Strategic Partnership

• Partner with IT leadership to co-develop strategy, roadmaps, and capability plans.
• Represent the service delivery function in leadership forums and executive discussions.
• Contribute to business cases, budget planning, and investment decisions.
• Build strong relationships with stakeholders, IT peers, and strategic vendors.
• Identify risks and opportunities, providing actionable recommendations to leadership.

Qualifications

Required

• 10+ years of IT experience, including 5+ years in service delivery, operations, or ITSM leadership.
• Demonstrated ability to lead through governance and enablement rather than direct execution.
• Proven experience translating strategy into execution and leading initiatives through change.
• Strong background in ITIL-aligned service management and ITSM program development.
• Experience designing and governing ITAM/CMDB programs.
• Vendor management experience with performance accountability and contract alignment.
• Strong analytical and data interpretation skills.
• ITIL 4 Foundation certification (advanced certifications preferred).
• Experience governing enterprise ITSM platforms.
• Excellent communication skills across technical and executive audiences.

Preferred

• Experience in life sciences, biotech, or research environments.
• Familiarity with ITAM/HAM tooling within ITSM platforms.
• PMP or equivalent certification.
• Experience with IT financial management and budget planning.
• Experience in matrixed or multi-entity organizations.

Leadership Competencies

• Bridge Leadership: Aligns strategy with execution seamlessly.
• Enabling Leadership: Builds capability and empowers teams to perform.
• Structural Thinking: Designs scalable governance and operating models.
• Customer Focus: Drives accountability for service experience outcomes.
• Data-Driven: Uses insights to guide decisions and improvements.
• Strategic Partnership: Contributes meaningfully at the leadership level.
• Executive Presence: Communicates with clarity and credibility.
