As a key member of Flo’s Security Architecture team, you will lead the design and operation of our US Healthcare security controls, own the roadmap for HIPAA compliance and SOC2 Type II certification, and partner with Engineering and Legal to build a secure, compliant platform for millions of users.

Responsibilities

• Compliance Leadership: Lead annual SOC 2 and HIPAA certifications, managing interfaces with external auditors and professional services.
• Policy & Risk: Define and maintain security policies; embed risk assessment activities within engineering processes and vendor management.
• Operational Excellence: Partner with control owners to automate evidence gathering and ensure controls reduce friction rather than creating it.
• Stakeholder Management: Serve as the primary Security POC for US regulators and partners; support the wider Security team with ISO 27001/27701 alignment.
• Tooling: Manage and integrate GRC platforms to streamline compliance monitoring and reporting.

Requirements

• Familiarity with PHI handling, GRC platforms, and compliance automation.
• Strong ability to translate complex compliance requirements into clear actions for engineering teams.

Preferred Qualifications

• CISA/CISSP certifications.
• Experience with NIST, HiTrust, Docker/Kubernetes, and DevSecOps.
