Role overview
Our Information Security team is responsible for ensuring the security of our customers and the safety of our data. As the Manager of Security GRC, you will guide the evolution of our established GRC function. You aren't just maintaining a program; you are maturing our capabilities to ensure that security is a tailwind for our business, transforming complex regulatory requirements into a competitive advantage.
You will be a strategic leader who balances high-standard execution with a focus on Revenue Enablement, ensuring our security posture removes friction from the enterprise sales cycle and reinforces our market position as a trusted partner.
What you'll do
Take ownership of an established team to elevate our GRC maturity. You will develop and refine our Integrated Management System (IMS) across ISO 27001, 27017, 27018, and SOC 2 Type II.
Modernize our risk reporting by leveraging quantitative risk management. You will move beyond qualitative "Red/Yellow/Green" charts to provide real-time, data-driven insights and financial risk projections using FAIR principles.
Serve as a leading voice on our AI Governance Committee. You will guide the secure adoption of AI/LLM features within our product and oversee the governance of AI integration across our internal SaaS ecosystem, aligned with ISO 42001.
Focus on GRC as a revenue driver. By maturing our compliance and risk functions, you will ensure our security trust posture supports global growth and instills immediate confidence in our largest enterprise customers.
Partner with Product and Engineering to validate and mature technical controls within cloud environments (e.g. AWS, GCP) and cloud data warehousing environments (e.g. Snowflake). You will ensure that compliance is a seamless part of the CI/CD pipeline and agile software development lifecycle.
Provide expert guidance on GDPR and CPRA, ensuring our risk management strategies remain resilient in a rapidly changing global privacy landscape.
What you'll bring
You have 7+ years in Information Security and a track record of maturing established teams. You know how to keep team performance on track while maintaining momentum toward strategic goals.
You have a deep understanding of AWS security services and Snowflake data governance. You are comfortable challenging and supporting technical teams to innovate and solve strategic challenges.
You embody a growth mindset and use data and facts to inform priorities. Experience with SAFE Security or similar CRQM platforms is a significant plus.
A Change Leader: You are comfortable with ambiguity and adapt quickly when priorities change. You encourage experimentation within your team to automate evidence collection and risk discovery.
A Caring Collaborator: You lead with empathy and inclusion, building diverse teams that support one another. You are a cultural ambassador who can see things from others' viewpoints and reconcile multiple stakeholder views to drive results.
A Clear Communicator: You bring people along with your vision. You can translate technical risk into business value for executive decision-makers and functional leaders.
Our Leadership Competencies:
We hire leaders who are a Catalyst for Impact, a Coach to their peers, a clear Communicator, an innovative Change Leader, and a Caring Collaborator. In this role, you will be expected to:
Set high standards and take full ownership of the GRC roadmap.
Proactively manage the growth of team members through clear feedback and experiential opportunities.
Engage key decision-makers across business functions to support complex, cross-functional initiatives.
Navigate organizational dynamics to establish accountability and ensure successful delivery of results.

WHO WE LOOK FOR
An SEI-er is a master communicator and active listener who understands how to navigate an audience. Self-aware, almost to a fault, SEI-ers keenly understand how to adjust their support and problem solving based on the situation. Following a logical, fact-based approach, SEI-ers possess the superior ability to see correlations others may not, ask the right questions and drive solutions.
As super-connectors, they connect not only people, but data, trends and experiences. Mature, humble, and genuine, SEI-ers frequently go above and beyond for both their clients and their colleagues. SEI-ers are ethical and trustworthy individuals who consistently and repeatedly follow through, and hold true to their values in difficult situations. SEI-ers have an insatiable curiosity and love to learn. These individuals are commonly tech savvy and early adopters. Their passion for learning is infectious and excites others. As every project is different, an SEI-er must be adaptable and comfortable with unexpected situations. SEI-ers define ambition differently. They are authentic, low-maintenance individuals who truly enjoy one another- they like to hang out with colleagues outside of work, collaborate and hold one another accountable. SEI-ers enjoy working with genuine, thoughtful folks who want to steer clear of the traditional grind and share the joy of day-to-day life and activities with colleagues, friends, and family.
