[Hiring] Senior Manager, Security & Compliance @Leap

Role Description

Leap is hiring a Senior Manager, Security & Compliance to lead the next phase of our security program. We have an established foundation, including SOC 2 Type II and HIPAA-aligned controls. Now we’re looking for a leader to shape where the program goes next and own the work of getting there, starting with HITRUST certification.

This is a hands-on builder role. You’ll set the direction for our security and compliance program and do much of the work yourself:

• Running audits and certifications
• Writing policies
• Reviewing controls
• Completing security questionnaires

You’ll also be trusted with the judgment calls that matter most, including:

• The security obligations Leap commits to
• The vendors and tools we adopt
• How new controls roll out across the company

You’ll represent Leap with client and partner security teams when it counts, but the core of the job is building and maintaining a program strong enough to make those conversations easy. You’ll work closely with Engineering, Operations, and our go-to-market teams, and you’ll manage our external security partner.

This is an individual contributor role for an ambitious, highly autonomous security leader who thrives on building end-to-end and driving strategic impact.

Qualifications

• 7+ years in healthcare information security, governance/risk/compliance (GRC), or IT audit, including directly owning at least one full SOC 2 Type II audit cycle.
• Deep familiarity with security and compliance frameworks such as SOC 2, HIPAA, and HITRUST, and an audit- and GRC-first approach to building a program.
• Experience building a security or compliance program from scratch, or owning one end to end as an early security hire at a startup or growth-stage company.
• Hands-on experience completing security questionnaires and representing your company with enterprise or health plan security teams.
• Working knowledge of the HIPAA Security and Privacy Rules and of handling patient health data (PHI) in B2B healthcare.
• Enough technical depth in cloud infrastructure (GCP preferred) and modern data stacks to review controls and advise engineers through implementation. This isn’t a policy-only role.
• Comfort staying deep in the details while making judgment calls that commit the company.

Requirements

• Run HITRUST certification from kickoff through completion next year, including gap assessment, control mapping, remediation, and assessor management.
• Own SOC 2 Type II end to end, including evidence collection, the auditor relationship, and closing gaps.
• Maintain our HIPAA security and privacy controls, core policies, and BAA obligations.
• Complete a full review of Leap’s security posture and deliver a prioritized roadmap of improvements and tooling recommendations.
• Roll out new controls, policies, and processes across the company, partnering with Engineering on implementation across our GCP and data stack.
• Assess new vendors and tools, including AI tools, and run ongoing third-party risk reviews.
• Complete security questionnaires, RFP security sections, and controls reviews yourself, with responses that are accurate and consistent.
• Make the call on the security obligations Leap takes on in client and partner agreements.
• Build a response library and repeatable review process that keeps pace as we grow, and represent Leap with client and partner security teams when needed.
• Select and manage our external security partner, making sure they extend the program we own internally.
• Keep leadership informed on security posture, risk, and compliance status, and flag where investment is needed.

Benefits

• Hands-on experience taking a company through HITRUST certification.
• Health tech, digital health, or benefits experience, especially with health plans and large self-funded employers.
• ISO 27001 experience.
• Experience with compliance automation tools such as Vanta, Drata, or Secureframe.
• CISSP, CISA, CISM, or CRISC certification.
