500M+ downloads. 80M+ monthly users. A decade of building - and we're still accelerating.

Flo is the world's #1 health & fitness app worldwide on a mission to build a better future for female health. Backed by a $200M investment led by General Atlantic, we became the first product of our kind to reach a $1B valuation in 2024 - and we're not slowing down.

With 7M paid subscribers and the highest-rated experience in the App Store's health category, we've spent 10 years earning trust at scale. Now, we're building the next generation of digital health - AI-powered, privacy-first, clinically backed - to help our users know their body better.

The job

As a key member of Flo’s Security Architecture team, you will lead the design and operation of our US Healthcare security controls. You will own the roadmap for HIPAA compliance and SOC2 Type II certification, partnering with Engineering and Legal to build a secure, compliant platform for millions of users.

Key Responsibilities

• Compliance Leadership: Lead annual SOC 2 and HIPAA certifications, managing interfaces with external auditors and professional services.
• Policy & Risk: Define and maintain security policies; embed risk assessment activities within engineering processes and vendor management.
• Operational Excellence: Partner with control owners to automate evidence gathering and ensure controls reduce friction rather than creating it.
• Stakeholder Management: Serve as the primary Security POC for US regulators and partners; support the wider Security team with ISO 27001/27701 alignment.
• Tooling: Manage and integrate GRC platforms to streamline compliance monitoring and reporting.

Qualifications

• Experience: 7+ years in security/compliance (3+ in leadership), with a Bachelor's degree in a related field.
• Core Skills: Deep expertise in SOC 2 and HIPAA frameworks within a Cloud-based SaaS environment.
• Technical Knowledge: Familiarity with PHI handling, GRC platforms, and compliance automation.
• Soft Skills: Strong ability to translate complex compliance requirements into clear actions for engineering teams.

Preferred: CISA/CISSP certifications; experience with NIST, HiTrust, Docker/Kubernetes, and DevSecOps.

• Flo Premium for friends & family, plus more health, pension and wellbeing perks
