The impact you will have here:

  • Develop scalable and sustainable processes and tools for normalized controls, collecting audit evidence, monitoring controls, and conducting gap analyses.
  • Manage TRM’s existing security compliance and certification lifecycle (e.g., SOC 2 Type II) while planning for and prioritizing future compliance needs.
  • Develop a compliance program to achieve FedRAMP certification.
  • Manage customer due diligence requests including developing and maintaining security collateral for customers (e.g., SIG, CAIQ).

  • Identify areas for improvement based on input from customers, the go-to-market teams, and overall business objectives. Anticipate customer needs with respect to compliance and due diligence.

What we’re looking for:

  • Develop automation to programmatically implement controls validations and evidence collections. Experience with Python or other programming and scripting languages is required.
  • Work to align advanced technologies and Privacy by Design principles from the first stages of development and ensure that the data use meets established regulatory compliance needs.
  • Strong understanding of Public Sector compliance security standards including NIST 800-53, SOC 2, CMMC, ISO, CyberEssentials UK, and other common compliance frameworks.
  • Experience with leading a cloud-first SaaS company through the FedRAMP Moderate certification process.
  • Strong focus on normalizing controls across frameworks and standards, with an eye toward improving maturity, scalability, and consistency over time, while looking beyond just “checking the box”.
  • Privacy and GDPR experience is a plus.
  • Security certifications (e.g., CISSP, CISM) are a plus.
