Nclusion is on a mission to provide traditional financial services to 1.5 billion people worldwide without access today. Without a secure way to save, invest, or transfer money, individuals are not empowered to accumulate short or long-term wealth. We're changing that by bridging the gap between traditional banking and the communities that need it most.
We're looking for a Security & Compliance Product Manager to own the strategy and cross-functional execution of Nclusion's security and compliance roadmap. Sitting at the intersection of Engineering, Security, Compliance, Legal, IT, and Product, you'll partner closely with Security Engineering and Infrastructure while keeping security requirements, compliance obligations, and engineering priorities aligned as we scale. You'll drive the technical, operational, and policy work behind industry-standard security certifications, partnering with Legal, external auditors, and teams across the company to turn requirements into practical, actionable work that helps us move faster, not slower. Success here depends as much on empathy and collaboration as technical expertise. We're looking for someone who raises the security bar while making it easier for everyone to do the right thing.
This role is based in our Palo Alto office. We work together onsite Monday through Thursday and remotely on Fridays.
- Own Nclusion's security and compliance roadmap, prioritizing the highest-impact initiatives based on business risk and company objectives.
- Lead the planning and execution of company-wide security and compliance programs, including the work required to achieve and maintain key security certifications.
- Translate security, compliance, and regulatory requirements into clear engineering priorities and delivery plans, partnering with Legal and external auditors along the way.
- Drive security governance by developing scalable policies, standards, and processes that support both engineering and the broader business.
- Partner with Security Engineering to improve secure development practices, internal tooling, vulnerability management, and automation.
- Build trusted relationships across every function, helping teams navigate security requirements through partnership and education rather than enforcement, and balancing strong security with an exceptional developer and employee experience.
- Define success metrics, track progress, and communicate status, risks, and tradeoffs to executive leadership.
- 6+ years of Product Management experience, or equivalent experience leading complex security, compliance, or technical programs.
- Strong technical background in cybersecurity, with hands-on experience in areas like cloud security, application security, IAM, vulnerability management, or incident response. Prior experience as a Security, Infrastructure, DevSecOps, or Software Engineer is highly preferred.
- Experience leading or partnering on security certification and audit efforts, with familiarity with frameworks such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST CSF, or similar.
- Experience leading cross-functional initiatives and translating technical challenges into roadmaps, requirements, and execution plans.
- Exceptional emotional intelligence and a collaborative, low-ego mindset. You build trust quickly, influence without authority, and find solutions that work for both the business and the teams implementing them.
- Strong judgment and product instincts. You balance business goals, engineering investment, and security risk, and you're comfortable executing in ambiguity at a fast-moving startup.
