## About the role

We’re looking for a hands-on security leader who sets the security vision and roadmap, represents Knit credibly to customers, auditors, and health-system security reviewers, and personally does the early-stage work of building the program: writing policies, gathering audit evidence, configuring and writing tools, and closing gaps. You’ll lead a cross-functional team spanning operations, engineering, IT, and external partners. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- Direct ownership of a HIPAA program and a SOC 2 Type II (or comparable, such as HITRUST or ISO 27001) audit, including personally doing evidence, policy, questionnaire, and contract review work, not only overseeing it
- Strong working knowledge of cloud security (AWS, Azure, or GCP), identity and access management, and common SaaS security tooling, including the ability to directly review code and infrastructure
- Experience representing security to external audiences (customers, auditors, or partners) including completing security questionnaires and leading review calls
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to translate technical risk into terms a non-technical audience (leadership, customers, sales) can act on
- Comfortable operating with significant autonomy in a fast-moving, resource-constrained startup environment. You’re comfortable building directly and energized by being a team of one
- Track record of driving security outcomes through cross-functional teams you don’t directly manage, including engineering and IT, and resolving competing priorities through planning and collaboration
