About the Job

Requirements

  • At least 5 years of project or program management experience in compliance, security, or a regulated technical environment.
  • Hands-on experience managing multiple third-party audits or certifications concurrently, including direct work with external auditors.
  • Experience with WebTrust and/or ETSI audits, or comparable attestations such as SOC 2 or ISO 27001.
  • Experience managing projects using Agile and/or Waterfall methodologies.
  • Proficiency with project and documentation tools such as Jira, Confluence, or Smartsheet, and strong spreadsheet skills.
  • Solid understanding of the audit lifecycle, including scoping, management assertions, evidence sampling, findings, and report issuance.
  • Ability to coordinate across a large organization and drive outcomes through influence rather than authority, including with teams that do not identify as compliance stakeholders.
  • Technical fluency to engage with PKI and security concepts, including CA hierarchies, key management, certificate lifecycle, and HSMs, and to ask subject-matter experts informed questions.
  • Comfort building structure where it does not exist and holding owners accountable to deadlines.

Responsibilities

  • Run the end-to-end audit lifecycle across multiple programs, from scoping and readiness through fieldwork, report issuance, and publication. Core programs include WebTrust (CA, SSL Baseline with Network Security, EV SSL, Code Signing, and S/MIME) and ETSI (EN 319 401, EN 319 411-1/-2, and eIDAS conformity assessments), alongside SOC 2, ISO 27001, FedRAMP, Adobe AATL, and other programs.
  • Manage the master audit calendar by sequencing overlapping audit windows, auditor fieldwork, and report deadlines to prevent team overload and scheduling conflicts.
  • Carry the unified control framework forward by taking ownership of control mapping already in flight and extending it across each program so evidence can be reused and framework gaps are visible early.
  • Identify control owners across engineering, infrastructure, IT, validation and vetting, support, HR, legal, finance, facilities and physical security, and vendor management; keep them engaged and accountable through each cycle.
  • Coordinate evidence collection with clear expectations, deadlines, and completeness tracking so issues do not first surface during fieldwork.
  • Support audit leads in coordinating with external auditors and conformity assessment bodies by scheduling sessions, tracking and routing requests, and advancing clarifications and draft report reviews.
  • Coordinate the Common Control Framework program, including planning, timelines, control-mapping activities, ownership tracking, GRC platform readiness, and cross-functional follow-up across audit, compliance, risk, technology, and business teams.
  • Prepare people for fieldwork by briefing interviewees, scheduling walkthroughs, and ensuring control owners can explain and demonstrate their controls.
  • Drive findings and nonconformity remediation across programs by triaging observations, assigning owners, tracking corrective actions to closure, and identifying issues that produce findings across several audits.
  • Provide concise, bottom-line-first status across the portfolio, including risks, decisions needed, and recommended actions.

Desired Qualifications

  • Direct experience in a public Certificate Authority or Trust Service Provider.
  • Experience working with control frameworks that allow evidence to be reused across multiple audits.
  • Familiarity with the CA/Browser Forum Baseline Requirements, root program policies, and CCADB audit disclosure requirements.
  • Knowledge of eIDAS and qualified trust services, including QWACs, QSealCs, qualified timestamps, and supervisory body processes.
  • Certifications such as CISA, CISSP, CISM, ISO 27001 Lead Auditor, or PMP.
  • Experience working with globally distributed teams, including overlap with European working hours.
