About The Position

Red Hat's Product Security Compliance team is looking for a Senior Compliance Manager to lead complex, multi-framework audit programs for our flagship cloud platforms. You will act as a primary lead for our large-scale external audits and a driver for our strategic shift toward compliance automation. This role is ideal for a seasoned compliance professional who is technically curious, capable of navigating cross-functional friction, and eager to architect a continuous audit-ready ecosystem.

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience in GRC, Information Security, or IT Program Management.
• Proven history of leading large-scale external audits in cloud-native or SaaS environments.
• Subject matter expertise in current industry frameworks (PCI-DSS, ISO, SOC, HIPAA etc).
• Experience in Git, Markdown, and YAML is required, as our compliance documentation lives in version control.
• Demonstrated ability to leverage AI/LLM tools (e.g., Gemini, Cursor, NotebookLM) to automate compliance tasks.
• A track record of successfully navigating high-pressure audit cycles and resolving conflicting priorities across engineering and security teams.
• Ability to represent Red Hat compliance interests confidently in front of external auditors and internal executive stakeholders.

Responsibilities

• Lead the end-to-end execution of large-scale consolidated audits (ISO 27001/17/18, SOC 2/3, PCI-DSS, HIPAA, etc.).
• Manage external auditor relationships and hold accountability for successful, zero-finding audit outcomes.
• Partner with Product Security Engineering to operationalize AI-driven compliance.
• Lead the implementation of AI-agents, gap analysis tools, and automated evidence mapping.
• Redesign our compliance "source of truth."
• Lead the adoption of Git-based workflows, Markdown/YAML documentation, and centralized dashboarding to ensure our data is audit-ready and observable at all times.
• Act as the primary compliance liaison between Product Security, SRE, Legal, and HR.
• Proactively resolve complex blockers, negotiate evidence requirements, and facilitate technical tabletop exercises for BC/DR and IR.
• Serve as a force multiplier.
• Mentor Associate and Junior Program Managers on audit best practices, interview preparation, and stakeholder communication.
• Influence our long-term compliance roadmap by identifying systemic bottlenecks, planning for new regulatory requirements (e.g., EU AI Act, QC1/QC2), and supporting the global expansion of our hybrid cloud offerings.
