What you'll do

As the most trusted brand in our industry, Docusign recognizes that customer trust is rooted in continuous security, proactive compliance, and adherence to leading global standards. We deliver Security Compliance as a Product by embedding adaptive GRC frameworks directly into the Docusign Product and ecosystem, automatically scaling trust as standards as the GRC landscape evolves. This role is a critical leadership position accountable for managing GRC product and “pod” delivery, driving our global compliance strategy, accelerating the readiness of emerging certifications, and embedding automated audit preparedness across our platform to support business growth. Reporting directly to Docusign’s Senior Director of Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC), the Director of Security GRC Product Delivery will be a technically proficient, business-savvy leader who manages both the enterprise-wide security compliance program and leads cross-functional GRC delivery "Pods" embedded across our product, enterprise, and security domains. In this role, you will manage a high-performing team to deliver GRC as a product—proactively identifying and reducing security risks by embedding scalable security controls, streamlined evidence automation, and continuous control testing directly into engineering and business workflows. You will evolve the traditional compliance function beyond point-in-time audits. The Director will manage a unified GRC Pod (incorporating Governance, Risk, and Compliance capabilities), while leading the compliance facets of the GRC team, to deliver exceptional, consolidated service to designated security, product, and enterprise stakeholders. You will accelerate Docusign's ecosystem growth by treating compliance as a core product deliverable, embedding GRC standards into product releases to ensure continuous, out-of-the-box regulatory alignment. You will also manage and lead all end-to-end security compliance audits across industry-standard frameworks, applying deep domain knowledge to shape a risk-based compliance strategy that supports business innovation without impeding velocity.

This position is a people manager role reporting to the Senior Director of Governance, Risk, and Compliance.
