About the role
Are you a security and compliance leader who thrives on customer trust? Do you want to work for a best-in-class, 100% remote organization with the brightest talent from around the world? If so, then keep reading…
At Sparkrock, we help social benefit organizations, such as nonprofits, school boards, and government agencies, reach their full potential through technology. Every day, over 150,000 people use our ERP and product platforms to work more efficiently, freeing up time and resources to focus on the good they want to achieve.
As our Group Security & Compliance Manager, you will own the entire customer-trust and compliance function across a growing private-equity portfolio, not one slice of it at one company. Every enterprise deal that hinges on security passes through you, and you get to build the program from the trust portal up rather than inherit someone else's mess.
Unlike most GRC managers who sit inside a single company running one SOC 2, this role spans multiple portfolio companies on different clouds, and it owns the AI trust story as a first-class part of the job. You'll drive SOC 2 Type II audits, stand up the customer-facing trust portal, and own AI compliance as the frameworks are still settling, representing the group directly in every customer security review.
If you thrive at the intersection of broad ownership, direct influence on revenue, and building something before the playbook is written, this role is for you.
Responsibilities
Lead customer security reviews, RFPs, RFIs, and questionnaires, turning around accurate, complete responses fast enough to keep deals moving
Stand up and maintain a customer-facing trust portal (SafeBase / Vanta / Drata or equivalent), including a dedicated AI/ML section
Own SOC 2 Type II program management, driving audits across portfolio companies (including Sparkrock's Type II conversion and CXT scoping), coordinating evidence with the Senior Group Security Engineer, and managing auditor relationships
Author and maintain security policies and documentation, including DPAs, sub-processor lists, and incident-communication templates
Own AI compliance and trust, including AI questionnaire responses, AI sub-processor management, framework tracking (EU AI Act, ISO 42001, NIST AI RMF), AI use disclosure, AI acceptable-use policy, and AI incident-comms playbooks
Run third-party vendor security reviews and renewals
Build and deliver internal security awareness training, and onboard customers through the required security setup
Draft and coordinate customer-facing incident communications, including breach/incident notifications with legal and engineering
Requirements
6+ years in security GRC, customer trust, or SaaS compliance.
Excellent spoken and written English. Articulate, polished, and credible in live calls with enterprise customers and third parties — this person represents the group externally.
SOC 2 audit experience as a primary point of contact (Type II strongly preferred).
Working understanding of cloud security concepts — able to read and translate technical findings, not produce them.
Awareness of the AI compliance landscape and willingness to own it.
Nice to have
CISSP / CISA / CIPP/E; Vanta / Drata / SafeBase experience.
PE-backed or multi-portfolio background.
ISO 42001 / NIST AI RMF familiarity; EU AI Act awareness.
