Job description

ABOUT ONELEET Oneleet is one of the fastest-growing security and compliance platforms in history. We are on a mission to change the compliance and security industry by making cybersecurity and compliance effective, easy, and painless. We provide a platform that helps companies build, manage, and monitor their cybersecurity programs and achieve compliance standards such as SOC 2 and ISO 27001 efficiently, without cutting corners. Having just raised a $33 million Series A, we are rapidly growing in customers and employees. Our team has decades of experience in security and compliance. Join our team of opinionated rebels and help us build a category-defining company reshaping the broken and fragmented compliance and cybersecurity industry. WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR: We value passionate self-starters with a growth mindset and a bias for action and personal accountability. If you love solving hard problems, thrive in ambiguity, and want to make a real impact, you’ll fit right in. We’re especially drawn to: - Rebels with a cause — frustrated with the status quo and eager to disrupt it. - Opinionated (but not obstinate) builders — decisive yet collaborative, who help us move fast. - Clear communicators — who own their ideas and follow through. Our mission is simple: make effective cybersecurity painless. We believe cybersecurity should empower, not burden. This belief unites our team and drives every decision we make. If you’re ready to challenge the status quo and help shape the future of cybersecurity, we’d love to meet you.

From intimate customer dinners and executive roundtables to industry conferences and digital community spaces, you will build the programs that turn customers, prospects, and practitioners into a genuine Oneleet community.
