You'll work at the intersection of security, technology, and compliance—translating complex regulatory frameworks (NIST 800-53, FedRAMP, ISO 27001, CSA STAR) into clear, actionable implementation plans. You'll partner with Engineering, Security, DevSecOps, and Compliance teams to build a compliant cloud environment from the ground up. Your leadership will ensure that security controls aren't just checked boxes—they're embedded into our architecture, our processes, and our culture.

This is hands-on strategic leadership where your expertise shapes both the technical direction and the organizational capability we build to compete in regulated markets.
