Your background

• Deep GRC experience. You have run compliance programmes against SOC 2 and ISO/IEC 27001 in a software business, not just supported them. You know the difference between a control that satisfies an auditor and a control that actually reduces risk, and you care about both.
• Comfortable with AI compliance, or hungry to own it. Familiarity with ISO/IEC 42001 and emerging AI assurance frameworks is a real advantage. If you do not have it yet, you are excited by the chance to become one of the people who does.
• Technical credibility. You can hold your own with engineers on cloud architecture and security controls. Exposure to AWS security tooling such as GuardDuty, Security Hub, Inspector and Detective, and to EKS, TypeScript or infrastructure as code like Pulumi or Terraform, will set you up well here.
• Wants to build, not just assess. You are looking for a role where the natural answer to a manual process is to write something that removes it, and you want to spend the next few years getting materially more technical.
• Enterprise fluency. You have been across the table from large customers, their procurement teams and their security reviewers, and you know how to move a deal forward without overcommitting.
• You are pragmatic and flexible. Like your new teammates, you are used to doing what is necessary to get the job done. You will need to be comfortable with ambiguity, be resourceful in solving problems, and adjust to shifting deadlines and goals.
• When you do it, you nail it. You share our keen eye for quality. What you ship is top notch, and you cut scope before cutting quality.
• Excellent, concise communicator. You can explain a risk to an engineer, a board member and a customer's CISO on the same day, and articulate effort versus impact clearly to each of them.
