We are Virtual 1st! Whether you choose to work remotely from your home office or in-person from one of Mitek’s offices, our practices, processes and tools are designed to enable your success. At Mitek, the Future of Work is about flexibility and preference wherever and whenever we are working. Because we care about our candidates, employees and customers, we include an in-person meeting as part of our hiring process. It’s one of the ways we live our mission to “Protect What’s Real.”

At Mitek, we believe that teams are more resilient, effective, and innovative when they benefit from a wide range of ideas, lived experiences, and perspectives. The strength of our organization is deeply rooted in the people who power it.​ We know that a workforce reflecting the richness of our communities and customers helps us better serve their needs.


Information Security Program Manager will be the operational backbone of the department, ensuring the program runs efficiently and measurably — coordinating initiatives across all security functions, producing executive reporting, and managing the operational cadence so the VP, IT & Security can focus on the board, customer security relationships, regulatory engagement, and strategy. Not a hands-on engineering role and not traditional project management; it sits at the intersection of security literacy, program management, and executive communication. 

What You’ll Do (Essential Responsibilities)

To perform this job successfully, an individual must be able to perform each essential duty satisfactorily. The requirements listed below are representative of the knowledge, skill, and/or ability required. Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions. 

 Program & Project Coordination 

  • Own the security program roadmap at the execution level across all security functions 

  • Track initiatives, timelines, and blockers without requiring VP involvement day-to-day 

  • Manage cross-functional dependencies with Engineering, IT, Legal, and Compliance 

  • Act with delegated authority from the VP on operational execution matters 

Metrics, Reporting & Dashboards 

  • Build and maintain the security metrics framework — vulnerability SLA compliance, incident-response timelines, audit-finding closure, and training completion 

  • Produce dashboards for board reporting, SEC disclosure prep, audit-committee updates, and customer security reviews 

  • Translate raw tool and team data into a coherent program narrative for executive and external audiences 

Audit & Compliance Coordination 

  • Coordinate security-team evidence collection for SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI-DSS, and customer audits 

  • Serve as the security team's interface to the General Counsel's Compliance team 

  • Maintain audit-readiness documentation year-round and track findings to closure 

Policy, Awareness & Vendor Administration 

  • Own the security policy lifecycle — annual review, version control, approval, accessibility 

  • Own the security awareness and training program including phishing simulations 

  • Manage security-tool contracts, renewals, license utilization, and MSSP relationship logistics 

This job description reflects management’s assignment of essential functions; and nothing in this herein restricts management’s right to assign or reassign duties and responsibilities to this job at any time. 

Managerial Responsibilities 

  • Non-Manager: No oversight or accountability for others, an individual contributor. 

 


What You Need (Education/Licenses/Certifications, Experience, Knowledge, Technical Skills and Abilities)

  • Cross-functional program management in a regulated or compliance-driven environment
  • Strong written communication for executive reports and board materials
  • Experience coordinating audits including evidence collection and finding tracking 
  •  


    What Would be Nice (Preferred Skills & Experience)
  • Financial services, fintech, or SaaS serving regulated industries
  • Familiarity with GDPR, NIS2, or DORA
  • PMP, CISM, or CISSP
  • SEC cybersecurity disclosure or public-company audit-committee reporting
  • MSSP relationship management
