Full Job Description
Director, Compliance & Security

As our Director of Compliance & Security, you will lead strategy across all aspects of data integrity & security, as well as governance, risk & compliance. We are actively expanding beyond enterprise defense to build and deliver security as a product embedded into our DAS, Wi-Fi, and private network offerings. We are looking for an innovative leader to build an automation-first security organization that eliminates manual, ticket-driven friction and scales seamlessly across enterprise and commercial product architectures.

What You'll Do
  • Security, GRC & Compliance Leadership: Oversee the Security Compliance / GRC Cybersecurity. Own and mature Boingo's GRC program - including risk register management, control mapping, evidence collection, audit readiness for NIST and SOC 2.
  • Enterprise Operations & Policy: Partner cross-functionally with IT, Legal, HR, Finance, and Engineering on policy development, vendor security, incident response, and risk acceptance. Ensure security architecture, IAM / PAM, vulnerability management, logging, monitoring, and endpoint security programs operate effectively across the enterprise.
  • Venue Security Product & Network Security: Partner with Product, Engineering, and Network Operations to embed security controls into network designs (DAS, private networks, Wi-Fi) and support the go-to-market readiness of Boingo's venue security products. Serve as a senior security voice in cross-functional discussions involving network architecture and product roadmaps.
  • Strategy & Automation: Define the annual Security strategy, roadmap, and budget. Drive the unification of IT operations and security into a single control plane for identity, devices, and access to reduce manual touchpoints across the enterprise.
  • Escalation & Governance: Serve as the core escalation point for major incidents, audit findings, control gaps, and operational outages. Represent Security in internal forums, audit activities, and customer security reviews.

What You Bring
  • Security Leadership: 5+ years in information technology, security, or infrastructure leadership, with 3+ years directly managing teams across GRC and information security.
  • Automation-First Mindset: Proven history of replacing manual, ticket-heavy processes with automated compliance, logging, and security workflows.
  • Technical Architecture: Hands-on experience securing a multi-platform enterprise environment, including Microsoft 365/Entra ID, Google Workspace, multi-OS MDM (Mac, Windows), and Zero Trust access architectures.
  • Framework Mastery: Deep working experience with NIST cybersecurity frameworks, GRC program operation, including the successful completion of NIST & SOC 2 audits.
  • Product & Commercial Experience: Experience applying security controls, IAM, and compliance frameworks to commercially available products or multi-tenant venue networks (SaaS, NaaS, or telecom preferred).
  • Cross-Functional Influence: Effective communication skills with the ability to bridge technical requirements across Engineering, Product, Legal, and senior leadership.

Why Join Us?
  • Autonomy & Empowerment: Our engineering culture thrives on trust. We give our people the space to innovate real solutions and solve hard problems without micromanagement.
  • High-Impact Scope: You won't just protect our corporate footprint; you will directly shape customer-facing security features for large-scale venues and enterprise networks.
  • Unbeatable Culture & Benefits: Named among the Best Places to Work, Boingo offers generous benefits (health, dental, vision, 401(k) match, bonus plan, unlimited PTO, paid parental leave) at our headquarters in Frisco, TX.
