Position Overview

We are seeking a highly analytical, strategically minded Senior Director of Security Governance (internally titled as Senior Director of Security Governance, Risk and Compliance) to join our core centralized Cybersecurity division in a full-time remote capacity across Ireland, with a local hub option based out of Dublin (Req ID: JR107603). Reporting directly to the global Chief Information Security Officer (CISO), you will step up to claim individual strategic operational accountability for maturing, defining, and optimizing our comprehensive enterprise-wide GRC frameworks. Shifting completely away from routine checkbox auditing or passive administrative tracking, you will operate as a high-influence player-coach with a bold vision for how Agentic AI will be deployed to automate compliance verification. This position requires an information security veteran with 10+ years of background who models enterprise risk registers fluidly, commands multi-framework certifications smoothly across distributed US and India cells, and establishes the strict governance boundaries required for safe, accelerated AI software innovation.

Key Responsibilities

• Global GRC Strategy and Roadmap Governance: Formulate, execute, and mature ZoomInfo’s global corporate governance, risk management, and compliance roadmaps, aligning risk posture cleanly with business growth objectives.
• Enterprise AI Innovation Guardrails Architecture: Define, document, and enforce secure operational guardrails for safe artificial intelligence development, balancing risk mitigation parameters with fast product delivery cycles natively utilizing Cybersecurity best practices.
• Continuous Multi-Framework Compliance Auditing: Drive a state of permanent, continuous audit readiness rather than traditional point-in-time annual reviews, managing alignment across frameworks including ISO 42001, ISO 27001, ISO 27701, ISO 27107, SOC 2, and CIS Controls.
• Automated Telemetry and Dashboard Engineering: Lead the technical implementation and integration of next-generation Agentic AI scripts, large language frameworks, and enterprise software registries natively leveraging Project Management trackers across ServiceNow GRC and Vanta platforms.
• Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) Ownership: Overhaul and govern a right-sized vendor risk validation program, systematically assessing third-party maturity levels, tracking software supply chains, and reviewing enterprise security contract terms.
• Transactional Security Sales Enablement: Partner directly with business operations and sales units to accelerate transaction velocities, building deep customer trust and managing rapid, technical responses to enterprise security inquiries.
• Cross-Functional Executive Liaison: Serve as the primary security advisor bridging the communication paths between core Security engineering cells, Legal teams, Product labs, and the executive leadership suite.
• Distributed Intercontinental Team Leadership: Direct, mentor, and cultivate a high-performing team of compliance engineers and analysts base-stationed across the United States and India, establishing a high-craft security-by-design engineering culture.

Required Skills & Qualifications

• 10+ years of verified professional history running advanced information security operations, enterprise GRC program engineering, corporate risk management auditing, data privacy governance, or technical software consulting.
• Deep, authoritative technical command of cloud-native computing risks, data anonymization laws, network boundary access rules, continuous compliance automation, and vendor SLA criteria.
• Expert-tier capability translating complex engineering risks, identity tracking anomalies, and algorithmic biases into business-relevant, executive-ready context natively using Cybersecurity process layouts.
• Practical operational familiarity configuring security workflows, automating compliance mapping, and tracking regulatory data metrics natively leveraging Project Management platforms (specifically ServiceNow GRC or Vanta).
• In-depth conceptual and functional mastery navigating cutting-edge risk frameworks, explicitly highlighting the NIST AI Risk Management Framework (AI RMF) alongside traditional ISO and SOC 2 criteria.
• Mandatory Leadership Footprint: A documented background encompassing at least 5+ years of experience operating directly within a senior technical leadership or corporate management capacity.
• Outstanding verbal and written communication traits in fluent English, with a demonstrated executive presence necessary to confidently brief C-suite boards, corporate legal partners, and Fortune 500 customers.
• Academic Baseline Qualifications: Possession of a formal university Bachelor’s degree in a relevant computer science, cybersecurity, or quantitative management field (a Master’s degree or PhD is preferred).
• Location Context: Position open exclusively to qualified technical executives based permanently and resident within **Ireland** to execute governance operations under a 100% remote home-office layout or a hybrid Dublin workspace structure.

Preferred Strategic Indicators (Nice to Have)

• Prior commercial security leadership history operating within a hyper-scale B2B SaaS enterprise, global data analytics marketplace, AI software laboratory, or publicly traded technology giant.
• Possession of highly regarded industry professional security credentials, strongly highlighting options like **CISSP** (Certified Information Systems Security Professional), **CISM** (Certified Information Security Manager), CRISC, or CISA.
• Direct hands-on experience using generative AI models, customized prompts, or automated token classification routines to optimize compliance evidence collection.
• An outcome-driven personal philosophy rooted in absolute action-oriented leadership, a desire to challenge auto-pilot assumptions, and a passion for turning complex compliance into a market differentiator.
