About inKind

inKind is transforming restaurant financing and customer engagement through an innovative fintech platform that provides restaurants with growth capital while helping consumers discover and enjoy dining experiences nationwide.

We are seeking a strategic and hands-on Senior Director of Security & Compliance to build, scale, and lead the organization’s information security, compliance, governance, risk, and corporate IT functions.

Position Summary

The Senior Director of Security & Compliance is the senior leader responsible for inKind’s information security, regulatory compliance, corporate IT operations, and risk and governance functions.

This is a hands-on building role. inKind’s security, compliance, and IT functions are scaling; in the near term the Senior Director will personally operate core programs — audits, risk assessments, security tooling, vendor reviews, and corporate IT systems — while recruiting, developing, and scaling the team that will own them over time. We are looking for a player-coach who leads by doing, not solely by directing.

This role defines and executes the company’s security and compliance strategy while owning the day-to-day corporate IT operations — endpoint and device management, identity and access, internal systems, and support — that keep the company running securely and productively.

This role partners closely with Engineering, Product, Legal, Finance, People, Operations, and Executive Leadership to establish scalable security programs, compliance frameworks, and governance processes, balancing business enablement with risk reduction.

  • Demonstrated success as a hands-on, player-coach leader in a lean or scaling environment — personally executing core security, compliance, and IT work while building the team to own it, rather than directing from above.

  • Proven experience owning compliance programs and audits, including SOC 2 and PCI DSS.

  • Experience presenting to executive leadership, auditors, and external stakeholders.

  • CISSP, CISM, CRISC, CCSP, or equivalent certifications.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Information Security, Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
