• Administer ANSI audit program requirements and document retention for all standards development activities
• Oversee the letter ballot and public review process
• Maintain accurate membership and representation records for all technical committees and working groups
• Support continuous improvement by monitoring industry best practices, participating in ANSI and SES working groups, and identifying areas for procedural enhancement
• Collaborate with internal staff, volunteers, and technical editors on the publication process
• Support the ASIS Professional Standards Board and contribute to ISO-related efforts

What We’re Looking For

• Bachelor’s degree and at least 3 years’ experience within an association, with working knowledge of ANSI and/or ISO processes is required.
• Prefer at least 5 years of standards development experience working with ANSI and/or ISO procedures on standards maintenance and development issues and the ANSI SDO accreditation process.
• At least 1-2 years of project management experience.
• Experience facilitating meetings and working with volunteer committees
• Ability to manage complex documentation workflows independently
• Strong writing and editing skills, particularly using a standards and/or guidelines framework.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal abilities
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint); experience with project management tools a plus
• Familiarity with the security industry is a plus
• High attention to detail, deadline-driven, and comfortable working independently

Why ASIS?

At ASIS, you’ll be part of a collaborative and forward-thinking team committed to professional excellence and global impact. This role offers the opportunity to contribute directly to high-visibility initiatives that advance ASIS’s mission and help shape best practices across the security industry.

We offer:

• Competitive base salary
• Comprehensive benefits, including medical, dental, vision, life, disability, long-term care, and FSA’s
• A very generous 401(k) including an employer match plus an additional discretionary contribution
• A remote (U.S. based), work-from-home environment
• Sixteen paid holidays, ample PTO, and work-life balance
