We’re looking for an IT Compliance Manager to take ownership of our security and compliance programs, with a focus on SOC 2 and PCI-DSS. You'll be the go-to expert ensuring our company meets industry standards, protects customer data, and stays ahead of evolving regulations.
We work closely with highly regulated financial institutions, many of which have their own security and compliance requirements. That means you'll regularly collaborate with our Business Development team and, at times, engage directly with clients to address their security concerns and ensure alignment with their frameworks. Strong communication skills are necessary.
Our company is expanding internationally, and compliance plays a critical role. If you have experience with GDPR and other data privacy frameworks, that’s a plus—we want someone who understands the global security landscape and can help us navigate it. Financial industry experience and bilingual proficiency in English and Spanish are also preferred.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Lead and manage our SOC 2 and PCI-DSS compliance efforts, including audits, risk assessments, and policy enforcement.
- Develop, implement, and maintain IT security policies and procedures to meet regulatory and industry standards.
- Support the Business Development & Product team in responding to client security inquiries and aligning with their compliance requirements.
- Oversee and support efforts related to GDPR, CCPA, and other global data privacy regulations.
- Work closely with Engineering to ensure compliance is embedded in our processes.
- Stay up to date with industry best practices, regulatory changes, and emerging security risks.
- Manage relationships with auditors, external assessors, and regulatory bodies.
- Assist with vendor risk assessments and due diligence to ensure third-party compliance.
What We’re Looking For
- 3+ years of experience in IT compliance, cybersecurity, or risk management, preferably in a highly regulated industry.
- Deep knowledge of SOC 2, PCI-DSS, GDPR, and other essential frameworks.
- Strong understanding of cloud security, risk management, and security best practices.
- Excellent communication skills—able to clearly explain security concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences.
- Financial industry experience is a plus.
- Bilingual (English & Spanish) language is preferred but not mandatory.
- Ability to collaborate across teams and communicate compliance requirements without slowing down innovation.
Why Join Us?
- We are a well-capitalized, fast-growing startup pioneering the future of cross-border money movement.
- Information security & compliance are core business tenants at our company and this is the opportunity to own, shape and expand our IT compliance function.
- Competitive pay and stock options, so you share in the company’s success.
- Our employees are fully remote and distributed throughout the US, Mexico and Central America.
