Job Description
Security & Compliance Manager responsible for enhancing security and compliance at Givebutter. Leading security roadmap, certifications, and incident responses in a growth-stage fintech.
Responsibilities:
- Codify and execute the security roadmap for the organization, prioritizing the further hardening of critical systems (payment infrastructure, donor data stores, authentication flows, API integrations) and ensuring compliance with applicable laws (e.g., data privacy and security).
- Partner directly with PDE leadership to embed security controls into the development lifecycle: threat modeling, secure code review, vulnerability management, and CI/CD pipeline security tooling (SAST, DAST, SCA)
- Own the security incident response plan end-to-end: detection, containment, investigation, notification, remediation, and post-incident review
- Work with IT to drive identity and access management improvements, including role-based access controls, MFA enforcement, endpoint security, and session management
- Develop a deep understanding of fraud vectors in the fundraising and payments space—stolen cards, synthetic identities, friendly fraud, campaign abuse—and help us build systems that adapt as threats evolve.
- Manage vendor security risk assessments for third-party tools, integrations, and sub-processors, with continuous monitoring rather than annual check-ins
- Own the penetration testing program: vendor relationships, testing cadence, findings translation into engineering tickets, and remediation tracking to closure
- Develop and deliver security awareness training for all employees, with targeted modules for PDE, CX, and leadership audiences
- Lead SOC 2 Type II certification end-to-end: gap analysis, control design, evidence collection, remediation tracking, auditor coordination, and ongoing maintenance
- Build the roadmap toward ISO 27001 certification as the security program matures
- Serve as primary owner of our GRC platform (Vanta): driving task completion, monitoring compliance gaps, triaging findings, and ensuring remediation owners are accountable
- Manage all external auditor and certification body relationships
- Build and maintain evidence repositories that support continuous (not just point-in-time) compliance
- Prepare board-ready compliance status reports and risk summaries quarterly
- With the General Counsel’s guidance, own all required licenses, registrations, and regulatory filings across US jurisdictions, including state charitable fundraising platform registrations and other licenses
- Manage the Trust Center: content accuracy, access approvals, and customer-facing compliance documentation
Requirements:
- 7+ years of experience in information security, security engineering, GRC, or a related field, with at least 4 years in a fintech, payments, or financial services environment
- Have hands-on experience hardening production systems at a growth-stage company, not just writing policies about them
- Possess deep working knowledge of SOC 2, PCI DSS, and at least one additional framework (NIST CSF, CIS Controls, ISO 27001)
- Understand modern AI-era threat vectors and can articulate a defensive strategy against them
- Have technical fluency: you can read a cloud infrastructure diagram, understand why a GitHub permissions model matters, evaluate a pen test report, and translate all of it into actionable guidance for engineering teams
- Have managed GRC tools hands-on (Vanta, Drata, Secureframe, or similar) and driven remediation workflows to closure, not just monitored dashboards
- Have led external audits end-to-end: auditor relationships, evidence collection, findings remediation, and board-level reporting
- Can build programs, not just maintain them: you thrive in environments where the playbook doesn't exist yet and you need to write it
- Communicate complex security and regulatory topics in plain language to non-technical stakeholders
- Have strong judgment about when to escalate, when to act independently, and when to push back.
Benefits:
- Remote Work: Work remotely from one of our 10 hubs (Austin, Denver, Indianapolis, Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York, Salt Lake City, Minneapolis, Seattle, and Nashville).
- Health Insurance: We offer Medical, Dental, and Vision insurance covered 100% for employees as well as HSA and FSA accounts.

- Wellness Week: Givebutter closes for one week each summer to prioritize rest and recharge for the entire team.
- Parental Leave: We offer 12 weeks of paid leave for all parents and comprehensive leave planning management through Aidora.
- Family Care Support: Access a company-paid UrbanSitter membership plus care credits to book trusted, background-checked caregivers for childcare, senior care, pet care, and household support when you need it most.
- Home Office Stipend: Upgrade your home office with company-sponsored expenses, including high-quality laptops, monitors, and modern technology.
- Coworking Stipend: Enjoy a monthly stipend that gives you the freedom to work from coworking spaces or cafés whenever you need connection, community, or a change of scenery.
