Job description

What This Job Is Really About

You'll own the full lifecycle of our IT policies — writing them, updating them as things change, and making sure people actually follow them. This isn't a role where you draft something once and move on. Expect ongoing audits, regular check-ins with IT teams, and a fair amount of pushing to keep compliance from slipping once the initial rollout excitement fades.

Day-to-Day Duties

• Developing and updating IT policies and procedures to match evolving business and regulatory needs
• Enforcing policy adherence across teams through regular monitoring and audits
• Working directly with IT teams and stakeholders to keep policies aligned with real operational needs, not just paperwork
• Applying cybersecurity and risk-management principles to identify gaps before they become problems
• Reporting on compliance status and flagging areas that need attention
• Adjusting policy frameworks as regulatory requirements shift over time

What You'll Need

Real experience building and enforcing IT policy is a must — this isn't a role for someone learning governance basics on the job. You'll need a solid grip on cybersecurity principles, risk management, and compliance frameworks, plus the communication skills to get remote teams to actually follow what you've written, not just acknowledge it. If you're actively browsing IT policy manager jobs remote or an IT governance vacancy near me, this role is built around exactly that kind of flexibility. It also fits squarely into IT compliance hiring trends for 2026, where organizations are placing greater emphasis on dedicated policy roles rather than spreading governance responsibilities thin across general IT staff.

Nice-to-Haves

• Experience working across multiple regulatory environments or industries
• A track record of driving policy adoption, not just writing documentation
• Familiarity with audit processes and compliance reporting tools
• Comfort presenting findings and recommendations to leadership

What's on Offer

The salary is $45,000 per year, with full flexibility for remote work built in.

At Naukri Mitra, we focus on connecting the right talent with the right opportunity, and this role gives you genuine influence over how IT governance gets shaped and enforced — not a narrow, box-checking version of policy work.

How the Team Runs

Expect direct communication and quick decision-making. When a policy gap surfaces, the team moves on it rather than sitting on it for weeks. You'll be trusted to drive your own priorities, with support close by when you need to loop in stakeholders or push back on something that isn't working.
