The Head of Trust, Security Compliance, Privacy & FedRAMP is a senior leadership role accountable for Filevine’s highest-trust security, compliance, privacy, and government authorization initiatives. This leader owns the operating system that turns regulatory obligations, customer commitments, security risk, and privacy requirements into prioritized, shipped work across Engineering, Security, Product, Legal, Sales, and Customer-facing teams.
This is not a coordinator role. The leader will own Filevine’s FedRAMP 20x Moderate strategy and execution, with dedicated engineering resources assigned specifically to FedRAMP compliance. They will set the compliance engineering roadmap, define evidence and automation requirements, drive cross-functional execution, and hold stakeholders accountable for measurable outcomes.
The first mission for this role is to accelerate Filevine’s FedRAMP 20x Moderate readiness and ongoing compliance posture as meausered by booked ARR, logos closed, pipeline conversion and customer adoption. This includes evidence automation, control implementation, continuous monitoring, vulnerability and remediation governance, POA&M discipline, 3PAO and FedRAMP PMO engagement, agency-facing readiness, and executive-level risk reporting.
Beyond FedRAMP, this leader owns Filevine’s broader trust and compliance stack, including security compliance, privacy operations, customer trust commitments, audit readiness, and the internal processes that keep these programs scalable. They must be able to operate at both strategic and execution levels: translating regulatory frameworks into technical work, aligning leaders around risk-based priorities, and communicating clearly with executives, auditors, customers, and engineering teams.
Operating in a hypergrowth legal-tech and AI environment, the role requires technical judgment, executive presence, strong prioritization instincts, and the ability to build durable compliance systems rather than one-time audit artifacts.

Partner with the CISO, Security Engineering, Product, and Infrastructure leaders to convert compliance obligations and security findings into prioritized engineering work.
Drive governance for vulnerability findings from scanning tools, penetration tests, customer reviews, audits, and bug bounty programs, including risk adjustment, remediation ownership, escalation, and executive tradeoff decisions.
