Position Justification

As the organization continues to grow and adopt new technologies, the security and compliance function must scale beyond reactive reviews and ad hoc guidance. Business teams are increasingly relying on SaaS platforms, APIs, cloud services, integrations, automation, and AI-enabled tools to support daily operations. Each of these areas can introduce risk if access, data protection, vendor oversight, logging, configuration, and control requirements are not consistently managed.

Establishing a Manager, Security & Compliance role will provide dedicated oversight for security risk management, application and integration reviews, control design, compliance support, and secure technology adoption. This role will help reduce regulatory, audit, operational, and reputational risk by ensuring that security and compliance requirements are built into new initiatives early, documented clearly, and tracked through remediation.

The role will also relieve existing teams of one-off security assessments, strengthen accountability across the control environment, and create a scalable function that supports the business while maintaining appropriate governance over sensitive data and critical systems.

Position Overview

We are seeking a Manager, Security & Compliance to help strengthen the organization’s cybersecurity, technology risk, and compliance programs. This role will be responsible for evaluating security risks, designing practical controls, supporting audit and compliance activities, and partnering with business and technology teams to ensure new systems, integrations, and processes are implemented securely.

This is a highly visible, cross-functional role suited for someone who can operate effectively in a fast-moving, lean environment. The successful candidate will work directly with application owners, business leaders, IT, legal, and technology teams to translate security and compliance expectations into clear, practical requirements without unnecessarily slowing down the business.

This role reports to the Director of Cyber Security & Compliance.

• Define and implement practical security controls that align with business needs, regulatory expectations, internal policies, and audit requirements.

• Review third-party technology solutions and support vendor due diligence from a security and compliance perspective.

• Establish and maintain guardrails for technology use, including acceptable use, data handling, access management, logging, monitoring, and approval standards.
