Lighthouse Insurance Jobs in New York (NOW HIRING)

Description
About Scytale
Scytale is a global leader, an AI-powered company transforming how organizations achieve and maintain trust and compliance. Our platform automates frameworks SOC 2, ISO 27001, SOX ITGC, GDPR, PCI DSS, and 60+ more frameworks, making compliance smarter, faster, and continuously audit-ready.
Built for startups, scale-ups, and enterprises, Scytale combines intelligent automation, real-time monitoring, and AI-driven insights to reduce manual work and eliminate compliance blind spots. Recognized as a G2 Leader in GRC and an AWS Rising Star Partner of the Year, Scytale is trusted by hundreds of companies worldwide and known for its technology and partnership-driven approach. And we are now expanding into the United States - our most important growth market. We're looking for a founding US hire to lead this expansion.

You'll operate as a mini-GM with a sales focus, working closely with the founding team to define and execute our US growth strategy.
