About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Codify and execute the security roadmap for the organization, prioritizing the further hardening of critical systems (payment infrastructure, donor data stores, authentication flows, API integrations) and ensuring compliance with applicable laws (e.g., data privacy and security).
Partner directly with PDE leadership to embed security controls into the development lifecycle: threat modeling, secure code review, vulnerability management, and CI/CD pipeline security tooling (SAST, DAST, SCA)
Own the security incident response plan end-to-end: detection, containment, investigation, notification, remediation, and post-incident review
Work with IT to drive identity and access management improvements, including role-based access controls, MFA enforcement, endpoint security, and session management
Develop a deep understanding of fraud vectors in the fundraising and payments space—stolen cards, synthetic identities, friendly fraud, campaign abuse—and help us build systems that adapt as threats evolve.
Manage vendor security risk assessments for third-party tools, integrations, and sub-processors, with continuous monitoring rather than annual check-ins
Own the penetration testing program: vendor relationships, testing cadence, findings translation into engineering tickets, and remediation tracking to closure
Develop and deliver security awareness training for all employees, with targeted modules for PDE, CX, and leadership audiences
Lead SOC 2 Type II certification end-to-end: gap analysis, control design, evidence collection, remediation tracking, auditor coordination, and ongoing maintenance
Build the roadmap toward ISO 27001 certification as the security program matures
Serve as primary owner of our GRC platform (Vanta): driving task completion, monitoring compliance gaps, triaging findings, and ensuring remediation owners are accountable
Manage all external auditor and certification body relationships
Build and maintain evidence repositories that support continuous (not just point-in-time) compliance
Prepare board-ready compliance status reports and risk summaries quarterly
With the General Counsel’s guidance, own all required licenses, registrations, and regulatory filings across US jurisdictions, including state charitable fundraising platform registrations and other licenses
Manage the Trust Center: content accuracy, access approvals, and customer-facing compliance documentation

Requirements

What you’ll need

7+ years of experience in information security, security engineering, GRC, or a related field, with at least 4 years in a fintech, payments, or financial services environment
Have hands-on experience hardening production systems at a growth-stage company, not just writing policies about them
Possess deep working knowledge of SOC 2, PCI DSS, and at least one additional framework (NIST CSF, CIS Controls, ISO 27001)
Understand modern AI-era threat vectors and can articulate a defensive strategy against them
Have technical fluency: you can read a cloud infrastructure diagram, understand why a GitHub permissions model matters, evaluate a pen test report, and translate all of it into actionable guidance for engineering teams
Have managed GRC tools hands-on (Vanta, Drata, Secureframe, or similar) and driven remediation workflows to closure, not just monitored dashboards
Have led external audits end-to-end: auditor relationships, evidence collection, findings remediation, and board-level reporting
Can build programs, not just maintain them: you thrive in environments where the playbook doesn't exist yet and you need to write it
Communicate complex security and regulatory topics in plain language to non-technical stakeholders
Have strong judgment about when to escalate, when to act independently, and when to push back.
