- Partner with Engineering to secure systems, applications, and infrastructure.
- Oversee periodic penetration tests, threat modeling exercises, incident simulations, and red/blue team activities.
- Manage and mature third-party security risk practices, including vendor security reviews, ongoing monitoring, and contractual security requirements.
- Ensure regulatory and audit compliance (HIPAA, SOC2, HITRUST, and other healthcare/security frameworks).
- Partner with Legal and Compliance teams to ensure security programs, tools, and practices meet contractual, regulatory, and industry expectations.
- Maintain documentation for compliance requirements and support internal and external audit efforts.
- Serve as a trusted advisor to leadership and technical teams regarding risk, architecture, and security-by-design.
- Drive companywide education, awareness, and accountability to embed security into every function.
- Manage and grow a high-performing security team, including a Security Engineer and a Security Compliance Specialist.
- Set clear expectations, provide coaching, and empower team members to execute and grow into subject-matter experts.
- Foster a collaborative and transparent culture centered on accountability, communication, and continuous improvement.
- Compliance is a condition of employment and is considered an element of job performance

- Demonstrated experience assessing and managing third-party security risks and vendor access.
- Strong communication skills—able to translate complex technical concepts to leadership and non-technical teams.
- Experience partnering with cross-functional teams including Legal, Compliance, Engineering, and executive leadership.
- Must be onsite in Asheville, NC or willing to relocate (relocation support available for the right candidate).
- Experience in HIPAA, SOC2, HITRUST, or other compliance-heavy environments.
- Prior experience scaling a security function or building programs from the ground up.
