Job description

Remote IT Policy Compliance Manager - Shape How We Work

Why This Role Matters

Imagine this: your morning coffee in hand, laptop open, and you’re steering how a whole team across time zones follows IT rules without feeling like they’re walking through a maze. That’s the heart of this role. We’re not just ticking boxes; we’re making sure our systems, data, and people are safe - while keeping remote work smooth and frustration-free. You’re the kind of person who spots a potential policy gap before it turns into a late-night crisis. You know that compliance isn’t about saying "no," it’s about finding smarter ways to say "yes" while keeping security tight. And honestly, that’s exactly what we need.

The Big Picture

We’re a remote-first company, and that means our IT world never sleeps. From cloud security to data privacy, from device management to vendor compliance—you’ll be the one making sure it all holds together. Think of yourself as the bridge between the rules we have to follow and the people who need to follow them without losing momentum. This isn’t a sit-back-and-observe role. You’ll step up, ask questions, and dive in when things get messy. Some days, you’ll be deep in an audit report. Other days, you’re walking someone through why they can’t just "borrow" their cousin’s laptop for work.

What You’ll Really Be Doing

• Keeping policies alive and relevant.


• Spotting risks before they bite. Maybe it’s a vendor who isn’t up to our standards, or an employee using an unsecured network. You’ll see it, flag it, and fix it.


• Working with every corner of the company—from HR to engineering to finance—you’ll help folks understand why IT rules matter without making them roll their eyes.


• Leading audits without panic mode. Whether it’s internal checks or external certifications, you’ll keep things calm, clear, and on track.


• Making remote work safer and easier. From secure file sharing to video call security, you’ll help people work confidently from wherever they are.

What a Week Might Look Like

• Monday morning? You’re reviewing last week’s system alerts and sending a quick heads-up to the ops team about a small but important security tweak.


• Wednesday afternoon? You’re on a call with a vendor, making sure their data handling matches our compliance needs.


• Friday? Maybe you’re hosting a casual "IT Mythbusters" session for the team, breaking down things like why public Wi-Fi is a no-go for confidential files- and yes, sharing the story about that one time someone almost leaked a draft press release.

Skills That Make This Role a Win

• Solid compliance know-how.


• Comfortable with frameworks like ISO 27001, SOC 2, GDPR, and can translate them into plain English.


• Strong communicator. You can explain a complex security step without making someone feel clueless.


• Problem-solver mindset. You see roadblocks as puzzles, not dead ends.


• Remote-ready attitude. You’re fine with async chats, video calls, and the occasional odd-hour meeting.


• Proactive approach. You don’t wait for issues to land in your inbox.

Tools & Tech You’ll Use

• Cloud security platforms (think AWS security suites)


• Device management tools


• Compliance tracking systems


• Secure communication apps

What Success Looks Like After 6 Months

Our IT policies are not only up-to-date, but the team actually reads them (and maybe even smiles once or twice). We pass an external audit without last-minute scrambles. Risks get flagged and fixed before they make a dent. People know you’re the go-to person for making sense of IT compliance without the headache.

Challenges You’ll Tackle

• Time zones and timing. Working with a global team means sometimes you’re syncing early in the morning or late at night.


• Keeping policies human. The tricky part isn’t just writing them—it’s making sure people understand and actually follow them.


• Balancing security with speed. You’ll help us stay safe without slowing the business down.

Why People Love Working Here

Remote work can feel lonely sometimes. We keep things connected with weekly team huddles, casual coffee chats, and Slack banter that will make you laugh mid-project. You’ll be surrounded by people who care about the work and the people doing it. We celebrate wins-big and small. When a recent vendor audit came back clean, the whole team got together for a virtual game night (and yes, there were bragging rights involved).

Pay & Perks

• Salary: $162,000 a year


• Fully remote setup (work from anywhere with good Wi-Fi)


• Flexible hours to match your peak focus times


• Budget for learning and certifications


• Wellness allowance because healthy minds and bodies matter

The Kind of Person Who Thrives Here

You like structure but aren’t afraid to bend a rule when it makes sense (with the right approvals, of course). You get that compliance is about trust—protecting our clients, our people, and our reputation. You’re curious, resourceful, and always a few steps ahead. And maybe, just maybe, you get a little thrill from a perfectly formatted policy document.

How We Work Together

We believe in open communication. If something isn’t working, we fix it. If you need help, you ask. And if someone else needs help, you step in. We’re building something together, and that means sharing the wins and the struggles. We also know life happens. Need to take a midday break for school pick-up? Go for it. Want to start your day early and end early? Fine by us. As long as the work gets done and the team stays connected, we’re good.

The Impact You’ll Make

Your work will shape how we protect our systems, our people, and our clients. You’ll make sure our IT policies don’t just sit in a folder—they’ll be part of how we work every single day. That means fewer risks, smoother audits, and a team that feels confident they’re doing things the right way. When someone joins the company and sets up their laptop without a hitch? That’s you. When a client trusts us with sensitive data without hesitation? That’s you, too.
