Staff Security Risk And Compliance Program Manager

We're not just building better tech. We're rewriting how data moves and what the world can do with it. With Confluent, data doesn't sit still. Our platform puts information in motion, streaming in near real-time so companies can react faster, build smarter, and deliver experiences as dynamic as the world around them. It takes a certain kind of person to join this team. Those who ask hard questions, give honest feedback, and show up for each other. No egos, no solo acts. Just smart, curious humans pushing toward something bigger, together. One Confluent. One Team. One Data Streaming Platform.

As the Staff Security Risk And Compliance Program Manager in the Trust & Security organization, you will play a critical role in fulfilling the vision to secure Confluent's platform and cloud offerings through a combination of technical expertise, policy governance, security risk management, certification compliance, and excellent program management skills. In this role, you'll be responsible for overseeing and maturing our risk management programs, including third party risk management, risk operations and reporting. This is a senior-level position that requires strong leadership, deep expertise in risk and compliance frameworks, and a data-driven approach to risk management.

Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) Leadership :
