Red Hat Product Security is seeking a knowledgeable and proactive Senior Compliance Manager to lead our mission of scaling compliance through automation. In this role, you will bridge the gap between rigorous compliance requirements and modern engineering practices.

Our vision is to 10X compliance activities by moving away from manual checklists toward automated evidence collection and remediation. You will leverage your in-depth understanding of information systems, hands-on experience with AI capabilities, and a default-to-open mindset to ensure Red Hat’s product offerings are secure-by-design.

What You’ll Do

Own the compliance functions for Red Hat’s product offerings and managed service environments, ensuring they meet rigorous global certification standards.
Partner with engineering and managed service teams to develop, and implement automation at scale.
Be comfortable leading compliance deep-dives across multi-functional teams (Engineering, Sales, Product) and act as the primary compliance lead during internal audits.
Collaborate with open-source communities to develop and implement Red Hat-specific capabilities from the upstream; contribute directly to projects to improve the security and compliance ecosystem.
Foster a high-trust, collaborative environment by mentoring junior team members and serving as a security and compliance evangelist both inside Red Hat and within the broader open-source community.

What You’ll Bring

Technical Proficiency: You are comfortable with Linux, GitHub, and test-driven development. Some experience delivering secure software in programming languages such as Python.
AI-Augmented Workflow: Hands-on experience using AI tools (e.g., Cursor AI, Claude, or GitHub Copilot) to accelerate product delivery and automate complex compliance mapping.
Cloud-Native Expertise: Strong experience with modern container technologies such as Kubernetes, and OpenShift.
Framework Mastery: Ability to analyze security controls and design measures in alignment with standards such as CRA, NIST 800-53, PCI DSS, and ISO 27001.
Collaborative Leadership: A proven track record of being effective in a self-directed, remote capacity within a global organization.
Communication: Strong ability to present technical compliance concepts clearly to both technical developers and non-technical stakeholders.
Preferred Credentials: Relevant certifications such as CISSP, CISM, CCSP, or CISA are a plus.
