We are looking for an individual who will partner with Confluent's customers to ensure that we build the most trustworthy platform that meets security, compliance, and privacy requirements. Success in this role will be finding the best solution not only with the current technologies and practices we currently have on hand, but defining new opportunities for product development, customer engagement strategy, audit and access transparency, and field enablement. While this role will engage with leadership frequently, we also expect the individual in this role to roll up their sleeves to get things done.

- Coach and mentor field and security staff on customer security needs and requirements
- Be a subject matter expert for the company around customer security assurance, and develop and demonstrate POVs on important existing and emerging regulatory positions impacting cloud service adoption
- Build and scale key internal capabilities and programs required to drive customer enablement interactions
- Maintain relations with internal teams such as Sales, CSG, Product, Engineering and Legal to drive and enable programs required to build trust with customers
Bachelor's degree required plus a minimum of 10 years' experience in Information Security and Compliance - Experience at a cloud or SaaS provider or as a customer of a cloud or SaaS provider with complex & demanding security and compliance requirements
- Experience with a combination of the following: ISO 27001, HIPAA, HITRUST, CSA, NIST, C5, etc.
- Experience with industry (Financial Services, Public Sector, etc.) specific regulatory requirements impacting cloud adoption such as GDPR, DORA, NIS2 and other EU security, privacy and compliance standards and regulations (e.g. from Financial Services regulators such as PRA, BaFin, etc.) What Gives You an Edge:
- Current Security CISSP, CISA, CISM, or equivalent certification completed
- Excellent verbal and written communication, organizational, and planning skills
- Knowledge and understanding of GDPR, SOC2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, HITRUST, FedRAMP, CSA, NIST, C5, Cyber Essentials, and other regulatory standards
