Key responsibilities & impact

Own and operate Trase's SOC 2 and HIPAA programs end-to-end, including scoping, control design, evidence collection, and remediation tracking.
Lead readiness and execution for additional frameworks as Trase enters new markets, including ISO 27001, FedRAMP, NIST 800-53, CMMC, and ISO 42001.
Manage the full lifecycle of internal and external audits, serving as the primary point of contact for auditors, assessors, and regulators.
Maintain Trase's enterprise risk register, conducting recurring risk assessments across people, process, and technology.
Design, document, and operationalize security policies, standards, and procedures aligned to industry frameworks and Trase's risk appetite.
Own our common control framework in Drata, monitoring and refining controls across overlapping regimes to minimize duplication and audit burden.
Shift Trase's compliance posture from reactive to proactive by implementing continuous control monitoring, automated evidence collection, and recurring control testing.
Define KRIs, KPIs, and reporting cadences that give leadership real-time visibility into the health of the security program.
Identify control gaps, perform root cause analysis, and drive remediation in partnership with control owners across the enterprise.
Enhance and operate Trase's third-party risk management program, including vendor security reviews, ongoing monitoring, and contractual security requirements.
Partner with Legal to ensure DPAs, BAAs, and security addenda meet regulatory and customer requirements.
Serve alongside other subject matter experts or leaders, as a senior representative in customer security reviews, RFPs, and prospect-facing trust conversations.
Maintain trust collateral (SOC 2 reports, security questionnaires, trust portal content) and reduce friction in customer due diligence.
Translate customer and regulator expectations into actionable program requirements.
Partner closely with peers within Trase Security and Compliance, Engineering, and across the enterprise to ensure controls are operating effectively, as designed.
Collaborate with Legal, HR, IT, and Finance on shared control ownership and program execution.

What you’ll need

Strong risk management foundation, including hands-on experience conducting risk assessments and maintaining a risk register.
Experience leading customer-facing security reviews, RFP responses, and trust conversations with sophisticated enterprise buyers or partners.
