Job Summary:
Compass is revolutionizing the real estate industry with its end-to-end platform. They are seeking a seasoned Chief Information Security Officer to lead the enterprise security program, ensuring the protection of sensitive data and compliance across the organization.
Responsibilities:
• Design and drive a comprehensive, enterprise-wide information security and risk management program — covering integrity, confidentiality, and availability of all data owned, processed, or controlled by Compass and its affiliates, including Title & Escrow, Brokerage, and Technology platforms
• Lead all critical security domains: incident response, application security, threat intelligence, monitoring and detection, security engineering, information governance, and product security
• Establish and maintain SOX-compliant internal controls and ensure ongoing CPRA compliance, with direct accountability to audit and regulatory requirements
• Build and continuously mature a distributed team of security professionals, including performance management, succession planning, and organizational development
• Serve as the primary security voice to the Board, executive leadership, regulators, investment partners, and external customers — including public defense of the company's security posture when required
• Define the security roadmap and operating model for a company that spans agents, buyers, sellers, and technology platforms across the full real estate transaction lifecycle
• Partner closely with Engineering and Product to ensure all applications and services are built on secure-by-default principles across people, processes, and technology
• Strengthen third-party and vendor security controls as Compass scales its ecosystem of affiliated businesses and technology integrations.
Qualifications:
Required:
• 12+ years of technical experience in software, systems, or security engineering, with a deep command of security architecture and Computer Science fundamentals
• Technical roots preferred — candidates with hands-on engineering or security engineering backgrounds are strongly favored, though exceptional leaders who have built and maintained technical credibility through other means will be considered
• 10+ years of senior security leadership experience within a complex, global technology organization — ideally in a publicly traded company with international scope
• Mastery across multiple security domains with deep expertise in Computer Science and Business Systems
• Demonstrated expertise across the full security stack: AppSec, cloud security, identity, GRC, threat modeling, incident response, and security operations
• Hands-on experience building and operating SOX-compliant programs and deep familiarity with CPRA and related privacy regulations
• Experience in a product-led business, ideally a web product responsible for hosting and protecting sensitive customer data at scale
• Cloud-native/SaaS-first fluency — deep familiarity operating in modern infrastructure environments (AWS, GCP, or Azure) with a security posture built for cloud from the ground up
• Data and metrics-driven approach to risk — ability to quantify, prioritize, and communicate security risk using a structured, evidence-based framework
• Track record of translating security strategy into measurable business value, with a data-first approach to communicating risk to non-technical stakeholders
• Ability to operate and prioritize in a high-velocity, high-complexity environment where the business model spans technology, brokerage, and financial services
• Proven ability to build, scale, and lead high-performing security teams across multiple time zones
• Strong executive presence and communication skills; experience presenting to Boards, regulators, and external partners on matters of security and risk
Preferred:
• Real estate or adjacent industry experience is a plus, not a requirement
