Description du poste

Good IT policy doesn't happen by accident — someone has to sit down, think through the risks, and put guidelines in place that people can actually follow. That's the heart of this role. We're looking for a Remote IT Policy Specialist to join Naukri Mitra and help shape the rules that keep our systems secure and compliant.

A Little About the Role

This is a full-time, fully remote position for someone who enjoys the detail work of policy — reading between the lines of a regulation, spotting a gap before it turns into a problem, and writing guidelines that are clear enough to actually be used. You won't be doing this in isolation; a good chunk of the job involves working closely with IT teams to make sure policy and practice stay in sync.

What the Work Looks Like

• Reviewing existing IT policies and drafting new ones in line with current industry standards
• Conducting risk assessments and auditing policies to spot outdated or weak areas
• Collaborating with cross-functional teams to make sure policies are practical, not just technically correct
• Enforcing best practices around IT governance, security, and compliance
• Keeping frameworks current as regulations and internal priorities shift
• Identifying gaps in existing policy and proposing realistic fixes

What We're Hoping You Bring

• A background in IT governance, risk management, or compliance is important here, and familiarity with regulatory frameworks like GDPR or HIPAA is a genuine advantage if your experience includes them.
• Strong analytical thinking matters, since much of the role involves evaluating existing policy for weaknesses that aren't always obvious at first glance.
• Solid communication skills round it out — policy only works if people understand it.

If you've been searching for IT policy specialist jobs remote or an IT governance specialist vacancy near me that lets you skip the commute, this one's worth a closer look. It also lines up with broader IT compliance hiring 2026 patterns, where dedicated policy roles are becoming a standard part of IT teams rather than an afterthought.

Skills That Would Set You Apart

• Direct experience working with GDPR, HIPAA, or similar regulatory frameworks
• A history of translating audit findings into concrete policy changes
• Comfort presenting policy recommendations to stakeholders outside of IT
• Familiarity with cybersecurity principles beyond a general awareness level

What You'll Get in Return

The role comes with a salary of $40,000 per year and built-in flexibility for remote work from day one. At Naukri Mitra, we focus on connecting the right talent with the right opportunity, and this position offers a genuine chance to shape policy rather than simply administer it, alongside a supportive team that values careful, thoughtful work.

What It's Like to Work Here

The team leans toward collaboration rather than hierarchy — questions are asked openly, and feedback flows in both directions. You'll have the independence to manage your own workload, with colleagues close by whenever a second opinion is needed to sharpen a policy before it goes live.
