Integration meets Innovation
At Celigo, we believe integration should empower not exhaust innovation. As a modern Integration and Automation Platform (iPaaS), were on a mission to simplify how companies integrate, automate, and optimize processes. Powered by game-changing technology like runtime AI and prebuilt, mission-critical integrations, Celigo is redefining how businesses connect their world.
The Compliance Team Lead is an individual contributor role positioned at the emerging lead level, designed to own the day-to-day execution of Celigos security compliance and risk operations. This role enables the Senior Director to operate strategically by taking ownership of core compliance workstreams: SOC 2 audit coordination, privacy rights fulfillment, policy governance, third-party risk assessments, and security questionnaire responses.
A significant focus of this role will be supporting Celigos ISO 27001 and ISO 42001 certification initiative. Under the direction of the Senior Director, this role will partner with an external advisory firm to build Celigos integrated Information Security Management System (ISMS) and Artificial Intelligence Management System (AIMS) and will then own the ongoing management, maintenance, and operationalization of those management systems post-certification. This role also provides task-level guidance to the Security Risk & Compliance Analyst and supports their professional development. Both roles report directly to the Senior Director, Information Security & Compliance.
