Job description

About Lead Bank
Lead is a banking infrastructure platform trusted by the most innovative companies to power complex financial products. We enable fintechs to offer compliant, programmable services like payments, lending, and digital assets at scale. Banking has moved beyond traditional institutions and is now embedded directly into everyday experiences, meaning companies need modern infrastructure that is safe, secure, and operationally sound.
Today, Lead is one of the only API-first, developer-focused partner banks with the financial, regulatory, and legal expertise required to help fintechs succeed. We operate offices in San Francisco, Sunnyvale, and New York City, and an FDIC-insured bank in Kansas City.
Information Security Team at Lead
The Information Security team helps Lead stay nimble enough to move fast without compromising on safety. They own cybersecurity, overseeing detection and response, and building security controls for all data networks, cloud infrastructures, and IT systems. Working closely with the Risk, Compliance, and Audit teams, they ensure Lead meets and stays up to date on all security standards. Scaling the systems that protect Lead and the fintechs we serve requires critical thinking, good judgment, and an ownership mentality. This is a collaborative team of builders who approach problems creatively, constantly iterating to improve the security of our platform.

  • Support and lead strategic initiatives and special projects including but not limited to emerging technology risk, Artificial Intelligence (AI) governance and risk management, compliance program enhancements, automation, regulatory readiness, and technology control modernization.
  • Identify opportunities to strengthen technology governance and compliance through automation, continuous monitoring, risk-based controls, standardized processes, and scalable program improvements.
  • Perform all other duties as assigned.

Qualifications:
  • 5-8 years of experience in Technology, Information Security, Cybersecurity, Engineering, Technology Risk, Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC), or a related discipline.
  • Experience managing, mentoring, and developing teams, with demonstrated ability to set priorities, provide feedback, and drive individual and team performance.
  • Demonstrated experience leading complex, cross-functional technology governance, risk, compliance, or security programs in high-growth technology, fintech, startup, or similarly fast-paced environments.
  • Experience in banking, financial services, or other highly regulated industries preferred.
  • Familiarity with AI tools, AI governance, AI risk management, and emerging technology controls.
  • Strong understanding of technology governance, cybersecurity frameworks, cloud platforms, infrastructure security, engineering controls, technology risk, enterprise risk management, and compliance practices.
  • Experience working with internal and external auditors and managing remediation activities from identification through closure.
