About the role

As Director, Security Compliance and Trust, you will build and lead the function that earns and sustains customer, regulator, and partner confidence in Motive. Reporting to the CISO, you will own governance, risk and compliance; audit and certification across ISO 27001/27701, SOC 1 and SOC 2, PCI DSS and the path to FedRAMP; privacy and data protection; customer trust; security policy; training and human risk; and AI governance. You will partner closely with Legal, Engineering, Product, IT, Finance, Sales and Customer Success to make compliance a business enabler rather than a tax. This is a hands-on leadership role. You will lead a small, senior, globally distributed team — and you will also write policy, design controls, sit in audit fieldwork, and answer the hardest customer questions yourself. We expect this function to be built AI-first, with automation designed into the operating model from day one rather than added to a traditional GRC team later. Global expansion is central to the role: Motive is growing into Canada, the EU, Mexico and South America, and you will be the person who makes those markets enterable — mapping obligations before Sales arrives and building controls that satisfy multiple jurisdictions at once.

Responsibilities

• Own the compliance, privacy and trust function end-to-end — org design, hiring, and global team development — and act as Motive's senior authority on the control environment, deciding which frameworks we adopt and where we accept versus remediate risk
• Build a single integrated control framework that maps once to many across ISO 27001/27701, SOC 1 and SOC 2, PCI DSS, FedRAMP,
