• Partner with the CTO on long-term IT strategy, tooling decisions, and improvements to our security posture

Compliance & Audit Management

• Lead third-party SOC 2 (Type II) and GovRAMP audits from start to finish, including auditor engagement, scoping, scheduling, evidence collection, and remediation of findings
• Administer Vanta, FMX’s compliance automation platform, including system integrations, automated control tests, control and policy ownership, and audit evidence collection
• Maintain FMX’s control inventory, mapping IT, security, and operational controls to SOC 2 Trust Services Criteria and GovRAMP (NIST SP 800-53) requirements
• Own the compliance calendar, including annual audit cycles, GovRAMP continuous monitoring deliverables, policy and access reviews, and required employee training
• Partner with Engineering, Product, HR, and other control owners to gather audit evidence and close gaps on schedule
• Draft, maintain, and annually review information security and compliance policies, and track employee policy acknowledgments
• Support Sales and Customer Success by responding to customer security questionnaires and due-diligence requests
• Conduct risk assessments for third-party vendors and service providers that handle FMX or customer data

Employee Experience

• Deliver a smooth, well-coordinated IT onboarding and offboarding experience for every FMX employee
• Serve as the escalation point for complex or unresolved IT issues
• Champion a service-oriented IT culture that keeps employee satisfaction with IT support high

• Excellent organizational and project management skills, with a track record of driving cross-functional work to on-time completion
• Clear, collaborative communication skills, including the ability to explain technical concepts to non-technical audiences
• A resourceful, solutions-oriented mindset that focuses on finding a way forward rather than getting stuck on roadblocks

• Experience with GovRAMP (formerly StateRAMP), FedRAMP, or NIST SP 800-53 control frameworks
