Director, Security Assurance and Compliance
Toast creates technology to help restaurants and local businesses succeed in a digital world, helping business owners operate, increase sales, engage customers, and keep employees happy.
Most compliance organizations prove their controls by assembling evidence by hand, once per framework, every year. We are an organization of the future: common controls tested once in code, monitored continuously, and reused across frameworks (including PCI, SOC, SOX, and ISO). You will lead that build for a payments and lending platform where regulatory frameworks have real teeth.
This role represents a strategic shift toward engineered, proactive compliance where trust is continuously measured rather than only periodically asserted in documents. Operating as an independent second line of defense, you will balance rigorous assurance with engineering pragmatism, maintaining the autonomy to assess internal teams while helping them scale through automation.
The position spans both internal transformation and external accountability. Internally, you will drive continuous controls monitoring and risk governance; externally, you will own the evidence base that powers our customer trust surface and sales enablement efforts.
