- Implement ISO 27001 and adjacent frameworks end-to-end for customers
- Own the quality of compliance content in the platform (including creating policies, automated checks, evidence templates, Compliance enable playbooks for our CSMs, security awareness trainings and more)
- Close framework gaps and incorporate auditor feedback into both team practice and platform improvements
- Partner with product and engineering to translate compliance gaps into structured product work
- Collaborate closely with CS, Product, and Founders to align compliance, customer, and roadmap priorities
- Deepen relationships with our existing certification partners and train auditors on the Secfix platform so they can confidently use it during customer audits

- Real depth in at least one framework beyond ISO 27001 (TISAX, SOC 2, GDPR, NIS2, or similar).
- Strong project management skills with the ability to break down ambiguous initiatives into concrete deliverables, prioritizes ruthlessly, and ships
- Excellent written communication, especially in producing clear, precise compliance content for diverse audiences (auditors, founders, engineers)
- Strong ownership mindset: operates as an individual contributor without waiting for direction
- Bachelor's degree in computer science, software engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent hands-on technical experience.
