About the Role
As our Senior Manager of Systems Controls, you will own the design, implementation, and continuous improvement of Fluidstack's General IT Controls (GITC) framework. You'll operate at the intersection of infrastructure, compliance, and security — ensuring that the systems powering the future of AI are built on a foundation of rigorous, auditable control environments. This is a high-impact, high-ownership role on a lean team, partnering closely with Engineering, Security, Legal, and Finance to scale our controls program alongside our business.
Basic Qualifications:
Deep hands-on expertise in GITC design and assessment, including access management, change management, IT operations, and logical security controls
Proven ability to lead SOC 1/SOC 2, ISO 27001, or similar audits end-to-end — from scoping and control mapping through evidence collection and auditor liaison
Strong command of control frameworks such as COSO, COBIT, NIST CSF, or ISO 27001
Experience evaluating and documenting controls in complex, cloud-native or hybrid infrastructure environments (AWS, GCP, Azure)
Demonstrated ability to translate technical control requirements into clear policies, procedures, and evidence packages for both technical and non-technical stakeholders
Track record of building or maturing a controls program from the ground up, not just maintaining an inherited one
Preferred Qualifications:
Relevant certification such as CISA, CISSP, CISM, or CPA with IT audit focus
Familiarity with AI/ML infrastructure environments or GPU compute platforms
Experience working within a fast-scaling startup or high-growth technology company
Background in external audit (Big 4 or equivalent) with a transition into industry
