The job
As a key member of Flo’s Security Architecture team, you will lead the design and operation of our US Healthcare security controls. You will own the roadmap for HIPAA compliance and SOC2 Type II certification, partnering with Engineering and Legal to build a secure, compliant platform for millions of users.
Key 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.
Qualifications
Experience: 7+ years in security/compliance (3+ in leadership), with a Bachelor’s degree in a related field.
Core Skills: Deep expertise in SOC 2 and HIPAA frameworks within a Cloud-based SaaS environment.
Technical Knowledge: Familiarity with PHI handling, GRC platforms, and compliance automation.
Soft Skills: Strong ability to translate complex compliance requirements into clear actions for engineering teams.
Preferred: CISA/CISSP certifications; experience with NIST, HiTrust, Docker/Kubernetes, and DevSecOps.
