About the Role

This is a full-time Information Security Analyst role at Veracross. You will join our InfoSec team which includes Product and Engineering executives, our vCISO, and our CFO. You’ll be working in a highly collaborative environment, lending your skills and expertise to teams throughout the company. This role will have shared ownership over security & compliance projects, workflows, documentation, and audit support.
