- Respond to customer security questionnaires and audit requests with accuracy and timeliness, escalating complex items as appropriate
- Maintain the security documentation repository and ensure materials are current and accessible
- Support customer-facing security calls and presentations alongside senior team members
Audit and Compliance Support (25% of role)
- Assist with HITRUST r2 and SOC 2 audit preparation and evidence collection
- Help coordinate audit activities across internal teams, tracking open items and deadlines
- Support access review processes and other recurring compliance activities
- Assist with security policy and procedure maintenance
General Security Program Support (15% of role)
- Track and report on security metrics and assurance request status
- Support vendor risk assessment activities
- Assist with security awareness efforts and documentation as needed
- Participate in security incident response when needed
What You Bring
Essential Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in Information Security, Business, Operations, Finance, Accounting, or a related field, or equivalent work experience
- Strong attention to detail and follow-through — you catch things others miss and see tasks through to completion
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including comfort communicating with external clients
- Ability to manage multiple concurrent requests and prioritize effectively in a fast-paced environment
- Strong problem-solving orientation; you approach unfamiliar situations with curiosity and good judgment
- Proficiency with productivity and work-tracking tools (ticketing systems, spreadsheets, document management)
Preferred Qualifications
- 1–2 years of experience in operations, compliance, audit support, finance, or a related field
- Exposure to information security concepts, frameworks (NIST, HITRUST, SOC 2), or HIPAA compliance
- Experience in healthcare, healthcare technology, or working with regulated data environments
- Familiarity with GRC or security assurance workflows
