Lead, Security GRC (Governance) — Stealth Digital Asset Platform 💎
New York | San Francisco | Hybrid (2 days onsite)

We’re scaling a next-generation financial infrastructure platform — blending crypto innovation with institutional discipline — and we need a Security Governance Lead who can build order, alignment, and authority across the enterprise.

This is a strategic and operational leadership role: part architect, part enforcer, part trusted advisor to the C-suite.
You’ll define how governance lives inside a modern, cloud-native organization — creating frameworks, standards, and oversight mechanisms that drive accountability from engineering to executive levels.

If you’ve ever wanted to build a world-class GRC program from the inside out, with full visibility and real executive backing — this is your arena.

What You’ll Do

• Lead the Security Governance function, defining the playbook, priorities, and rhythm of control.
• Establish and maintain policies, standards, and frameworks aligned with ISO, SOC2, NIST, and global regulatory expectations.
• Own the governance lifecycle — from policy creation to adoption, review, and enforcement.
• Drive alignment between security, risk, engineering, and compliance — ensuring controls are lived, not just documented.
• Lead entitlement reviews, software approval governance, and vendor risk oversight across the enterprise.
• Integrate data privacy frameworks (GDPR, CCPA) into security governance, ensuring a unified risk posture.
• Oversee ITGC and SOX-related control governance, remediation, and audit readiness.
• Define governance metrics and dashboards that translate risk posture into executive clarity.
• Champion a culture of transparency, accountability, and continuous improvement across every layer of the business.

What You Bring

• 8+ years of experience in security governance, risk, or compliance within highly regulated environments.
• Deep knowledge of frameworks like ISO 27001, NIST CSF, SOC2, PCI DSS, NYDFS, and global data protection standards.
• Proven success establishing enterprise governance programs and driving adoption across technical and non-technical teams.
• Strong executive presence — comfortable influencing senior leadership and board-level stakeholders.
• Certifications such as CISSP, CISM, or equivalent governance credentials.
• (Bonus) Big 4 or advisory experience, GRC platform expertise (AuditBoard, Archer), or governance design in cloud-native environments (AWS, GCP, Azure).

The Package

Base $130K–$185K + bonus + equity + full benefits (401K match, health, PTO, parental leave).
You’ll have a seat at the table where security meets strategy, helping to steer one of the most forward-thinking fintech infrastructures in the world.

If you’re the kind of leader who doesn’t just write policies — you make them matter — this is the move.
