- Proven track record leading full-cycle audits for frameworks such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, and PCI DSS in cloud environments.

- Experience translating compliance requirements into actionable technical controls for engineering and operations teams.
- Familiarity with continuous compliance monitoring, automation, and evidence collection tools is strongly preferred.
- Demonstrated ability to lead cross-functional teams and influence stakeholders across technical and non-technical domains.
- Strong communication skills with the ability to explain complex audit findings and security risks to senior leadership.
- Excellent organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple audits, deadlines, and remediation tracks simultaneously.

- Strong emphasis on professional development, learning, and career growth opportunities.
- Flexible work arrangements supporting work-life balance and autonomy.
- Inclusive and collaborative culture with cross-functional teamwork and leadership exposure.
