Hiring for a New Role: Compliance Engineer

For the first time ever, we're opening a position for a dedicated Compliance Engineer. Woohoo!

For years we've provided IT, cybersecurity, and help desk services to the best small companies in the world, and as part of those services we've naturally been invited to participate in their compliance journey.

As you well know, Apple's platform is the best platform to run a business from, regardless of industry. So we've had innovative clients from virtually every industry including legal, medical, financial, real estate asking Foojee questions like:

• Hey since you do our IT, can you also help us with compliance for HIPAA?
• How about NIST?
• Do you know anything about creating a SOC 2 report?
• Can you help us acheive HITRUST compliance? And for years we've helped them fill the gaps where we can, but it's been largely informal. Until now.

Over 18 months we've created a formal method where our clients can hire Foojee to help them achieve and maintain compliance. We're really excited about this.

What's especially neat about the Foojee Compliance Plan (that's what we're calling it, is it too on the nose?), is we're combining the 17 years of best practices as an Apple Technical Partner into creating a simple, transparent, budget-friendly compliance plan that works for small business. Foojee continues to redefine the small business IT department in a new way with the all-new Foojee Compliance Plan.

The type of person who'd be good at this

So this is where you come in. We've established the service features based on client demand, and we're ready to scale it. We're looking for someone unique who has the ability to take this big vision, and begin building our scaleable processes to create a resilient service that our clients love.

So you've got to be comfortable knowing that all of your tasks won't be documented for you on day 1. In fact, that's why we need you. 🙌

The majority of the role will feel like project management. You're meeting with clients, deciding on deadlines, and working with both client-teams and the Foojee team to achieve those deadlines. You've got to love helping clients, problem solving, and jumping into conversations where you're not totally sure what the outcome will look like.

Once you've got your objectives laid out, you'll really thrive if you're task oriented. You've gotta love building up a solid foundation of policies and documentation for each of our clients.

What your day-to-day looks like

Foojee already has clients on the Foojee Compliance Plan. Each of their compliance journeys (and frameworks) are managed inside of a web app called Vanta. It's pretty killer. You'll use Vanta to project-manage each of our clients throughout their journey. Through Vanta you can see what's next for them, build policies, perform tests, and address risks.

We typically meet with our Compliance clients on a weekly basis with 30 minute video calls to check in on progress and set action items for the next week. (Of course, you're still communicating with them throughout the week via calls or emails too.)

While some of our IT-related work is performed on site with clients, we're largely a remote company. And this role will be 100% remote. We use apps like Basecamp to collaborate with each other. We encourage asynchronous communication that doesn't require forced interruptions with other team members. We treasure a calm work environment (it's one of our Core Values), and it can take a few weeks for new team members to see just how much free time we all get to do our work. We only schedule meetings when absolutely necessary.

We're trying to create a fertile work environment where we can do the best work of our lives. Really. It's that important. We're a privately owned small business, so we get to set our priorities. So guess what? We love to find that flow and pursue the things that give us energy. So we've built a culture around being able to do that.

We simultaneously appreciate the fact that an accountable culture is a healthy culture. Yes, freedom and accountability can coexist. Since this is a new role, we won't have every task hammered out on paper for you, but we will expect you to create standards that we can use for every single Compliance client.

You'll be running Foojee's Compliance services alongside me, and you'll be responsible for leading our clients' journeys. So you'll have to be comfortable synthesizing long term versus short term needs for our clients, and you'll have those conversations with them daily. So we are looking for a good writer, and a clear communicator.

We have a weekly video team meeting on Mondays to kickoff the week. We also have water cooler talks every two weeks where we have a non-work related topic to discuss. It's super fun and helps us build relationships around topics outside of work. We also get the team together twice a year, and that creates some pretty special moments. Right now that looks like a Spring Retreat and a Christmas Party. We fly everyone to the Atlanta area and spend quality time hangin.
