Are you a fan of dad jokes and bow-hunting skills? On Artera's InfoSec team, we take security seriously but never ourselves. We're on the hunt for an Information Security and Compliance Manager to take the lead in running our security program and championing governance, risk, and compliance initiatives (with a side of pentesting and policy writing). This role is key to keeping us audit-ready, compliant with all the acronyms (HITRUST, SOC 2, ISO), and ahead in the highly regulated healthcare space.

You'll play a critical role in creating and maintaining a library of policies, managing audits, and collaborating across DevOps, DBA, and Engineering to ensure our processes and controls align with our commitments. Plus, you'll have the autonomy to drive our InfoSec program to new heights. If you like Legos, asynchronous updates, and interpreting complex security requirements, this is your jam.

And here's the impact : your work will directly influence veterans' healthcare through the VA. This isn't just a job; it's a chance to make a difference. So, bring your security expertise, problem-solving skills, and appetite for tackling challenges in a highly collaborative environment.

Responsibilities

• Manage the full lifecycle of security audits, including HITRUST, SOC 2, and other regulatory requirements.
• Conduct gap analyses, compliance verification, and develop remediation strategies.
• Create and maintain a library of technical and non-technical policies aligned with our compliance standards.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (DevOps, DBA, Engineering) to verify processes and controls are effective.
• Oversee penetration testing, ensuring findings are addressed effectively.
• Lead cybersecurity risk resilience efforts, including identifying and mitigating vulnerabilities.
• Interpret and translate complex security and compliance requirements into actionable frameworks.
• Mentor the team and help the InfoSec program achieve greater autonomy.
• Build strong relationships with auditors, ensuring seamless communication and alignment.
• Develop scalable processes for meeting evolving compliance and security requirements.

LOCATION

Artera values in-person collaboration and is currently hiring in the following US cities : Santa Barbara, Los Angeles, San Francisco / Bay Area, Kansas City, Seattle, Denver, Chicago, Boston, and Philadelphia (Wayne).

Artera HQ is in Santa Barbara, CA, with an additional US office located in Philadelphia (Wayne), PA. If you live in the Santa Barbara or Philadelphia area, your role will be hybrid, and you will be expected to work out of your designated office location regularly, following local office guidelines. While three days a week may be a general guideline, the specific requirement will be set regionally based on the needs of the local office and the role.

If you live in one of our other hubs, your role will be remote to start. As our team continues to grow in these cities, Artera will explore opening offices in these locations, but there is currently no timeline in place for that . Once that happens, in-office attendance will similarly follow regional expectations, with flexibility to align with the local office's norms and the specific job requirements.
