  • Identify areas where processes can be improved to reduce the reoccurrence of existing problems
  • Take the initiative and work autonomously to implement the improvement.

• Experience working with PCI-DSS, SOC 2 Type 2,  and CIS controls; specifically in implementation, documentation, administration, and continued adherence to these controls.

About You:

• You’re not bound by convention  - your success-and much of the fun-lies in developing new ways to do things
• You need action  - speed matters in business. Many decisions and actions are reversible and do not need extensive study. We value calculated risk-taking.
• You earn trust  - you listen attentively, speak candidly, and treat others respectfully.
