Remote Security Director Jobs in Texas (NOW HIRING)

We are seeking a Technical Customer Support Representative (REMOTE) for a full-time and direct hire role for one of our amazing partners. This role is remote, but you MUST be living in the United States and be a US Citizen or Green Card Holder. This role does NOT offer sponsorship, it's NOT a consulting role, and we do NOT work with 3rd parties!

Overview

We are seeking a GRC Analyst to help strengthen and manage the day-to-day operations of a growing Governance, Risk, and Compliance program supporting a highly regulated technology environment. You will work closely with the Compliance leader and cross-functional teams to maintain compliance programs, coordinate audit activities, manage security evidence, respond to customer assessments, and support public-sector proposals. You'll play an important role in keeping controls, policies, documentation, and compliance commitments organized, current, and audit ready. You will join an established security and compliance program and take ownership of the execution that keeps it running smoothly.

This position sits at the intersection of security, compliance, technology, and business development. We need someone who can take complex requirements, turn them into organized action, and ensure the supporting evidence and documentation are strong enough to stand up to customer, auditor, and government scrutiny. You'll have the opportunity to make a meaningful impact by helping mature a growing GRC function while supporting the organization's ability to meet demanding security requirements and compete for public-sector business.
