We are seeking a dynamic individual who is able to adapt and take on new responsibilities as they arise. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- Proven ability to write assessor-ready documentation: System Security Plans at the assessment-objective level, policies and procedures, POA&Ms, and data-flow and network diagrams
- Working knowledge of networking and perimeter controls (firewalls, VPN and secure remote access, segmentation, DNS, wireless), enough to scope the boundary and verify the SC practices
- Customer-facing lead: runs meetings, explains requirements in plain terms to executives and IT staff, documents decisions, pushes back constructively, and delivers without close supervision
- Ability to run multiple concurrent engagements (typically 4–6), track milestones, and report status in a remote, asynchronous environment (Slack, Notion, Google Workspace)
