We are hiring a Head of Compliance & Finance Operations to own and drive the internal systems that support enterprise trust, audit readiness, and operational discipline. This is a high-leverage leadership role for someone who can independently own compliance frameworks such as SOC 2 Type II, GDPR, HIPAA readiness, ISO27001, and FEDRAMP while also driving finance operations and bookkeeping oversight across our US and international entities. This is not a bookkeeping role. We are looking for someone who can reduce founder involvement significantly, improve enterprise sales velocity, and help us operate with the discipline of a much larger company. You should be comfortable working directly with founders, external auditors, enterprise customers, insurance providers, legal counsel, and finance partners.
Responsibilities
Compliance & Security Governance
- Own and drive SOC 2 Type II compliance and audit readiness
- Manage Vanta
- Lead ISO 27001 readiness and certification preparation
- Coordinate HIPAA readiness and security controls where required
- Oversee GDPR processes and privacy compliance coordination
- Maintain and improve internal security policies, controls, and documentation
- Coordinate internal and external audits
- Manage vendor security reviews and due diligence processes
- Respond to customer security questionnaires and procurement reviews
- Support enterprise sales teams during compliance-heavy procurement cycles
- Manage cyber insurance renewals and compliance documentation
- Partner with legal and leadership on risk management and governance
Finance Operations
- Oversee bookkeeping accuracy and controls
- Coordinate AP / AR and expense management processes
- Support payroll operations across global teams
- Work closely with US CPA firms and international accounting partners
- Support Delaware C-Corp tax compliance and reporting coordination
- Coordinate international subsidiaries entity compliance and reporting support
- Prepare internal reporting for founders, board, and investors
- Improve operational rigor across finance processes
What We're Looking For
Required
- Prior ownership of SOC 2 Type II, GDPR, HIPAA and ISO27001 (not just participation)
- Strong hands-on experience with Vanta or similar compliance platforms
- Experience in a high-growth B2B startup environment
- Strong understanding of US company operations and compliance expectations
- Experience supporting enterprise customer procurement and security reviews
- Strong finance operations and bookkeeping experience
- Excellent written and verbal English communication
- Strong documentation discipline and operational rigor
- Ability to work independently with minimal supervision
Strongly Preferred
- Big 4 background (Audit, Risk Advisory, GRC, or Compliance)
- ISO 27001 and/or FEDRAMP implementation experience
- GDPR operational experience
- Experience with HIPAA readiness
- Experience supporting Delaware C-Corp operations
- Exposure to international entity management (EU entities preferred)
- Prior work in developer tools, infrastructure, cloud, or data platform companies
Success in This Role Looks Like
- Founders are no longer bottlenecks for compliance operations
- Enterprise security reviews move faster and close with confidence
- Audits are smooth, predictable, and proactive
- Finance operations are disciplined and reliable
- Procurement confidence increases with large enterprise customers
- Internal systems scale without operational chaos
Reporting Structure
You will report directly to the cofounder & COO and work cross-functionally with leadership across:
- Finance
- Legal
- Security
- Product & Engineering
- Enterprise Sales
- Customer Success
This is a strategic role with significant ownership and visibility across the company.
Who Should Not Apply
This role is likely not a fit if:
- You are looking for a traditional accounting-only role
- Your experience is limited to bookkeeping without compliance ownership
- You require highly structured environments and constant direction
- You prefer maintenance over building systems from scratch
We are looking for someone that can own this independently.
