• Manage communications and awareness campaigns for security and privacy topics to keep DigitalOcean employees and customers up to date with the latest developments.
• Support annual compliance recertifications (Privacy Shield, ISO) and implement additional compliance offerings to provide further value DigitalOcean customers (CSA, SOC II Report) 
• Engage prospective customers on their security-related questions and queries. Work with customer account managers to bring security a selling point for DigitalOcean.
• Document DigitalOcean security policies, controls, and security risk management. 

What We’ll Expect From You:

• Comfort with a wide range of compliance and privacy regimes, and how they affect technology, hosting, and cloud companies.
• Demonstrated people management ability, for achieving cross-functional outcomes.
• Knowledge of technical architectures, virtualized environments, continuous integration & delivery environments, and software engineering practices.
• Demonstrable experience collaborating and coordinating with legal, internal audit, engineering, and infrastructure teams.
• A habit of approaching new problems with creativity and being comfortable working with ambiguity 
• Ability to perform some level of data analysis using MySql

Why You’ll Like Working for DigitalOcean:

• We have amazing people. We can promise you will work with some of the smartest and most interesting people in the industry. We work hard but we always have fun doing it. We care deeply about each other and take our “no jerks” rule very seriously.
• We value development. We are a high-performance organization that is always challenging ourselves to continuously grow. That means we maintain a growth mindset in everything we do and invest deeply in employee development. You’ll need to be great to get hired here and we promise you’ll get even better.

• We invest in your future. We offer competitive compensation and a 401k plan with up to a 4% employer match. We also provide all employees with reimbursement for relevant conferences, training, and education.
• We want you to love where you work. We have great office spaces located in the heart of SoHo NYC and Cambridge and offer daily catered lunches to keep your hunger at bay. We’re also very remote-friendly—we use Slack to communicate across the company—and all remote employees have the opportunity to onboard in-office and take an all-expenses paid trip to our annual company offsite, Shark Week, to get quality in-person time with the team at least once a year. We also allow employees to customize their workstations to meet their needs—whether remote or in office.
• We value diversity and inclusivity. We are an equal opportunity employer and we do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.
