Senior Security

What You'll Do:

• Joining the Trust & Compliance team means stepping into the engine room of security strategy at a fast-moving tech company.
• A front-row seat to how security drives innovation in a data and AI-driven company.
• A strong cross-functional culture: you'll work with security engineers, architects, product managers, legal, compliance, and ops.
• A real project ownership opportunity — not just tracking tasks, but designing how compliance happens at scale.
• The freedom to propose, improve, and automate — we value people who bring structure and clarity, then move fast to deliver.

As a Senior Security & Compliance Project Manager, you will drive key security and compliance initiatives across Criteo.

Key responsibilities:

• Lead strategic security GRC programs
• Manage risks
• Define and structure security compliance projects (ISO27001, SOC2, NIST, internal control plans…).
• Turn strategy into actionable roadmaps and clear milestones.
• Lead end-to-end project delivery across multiple teams (Security, Engineering, Infrastructure, Physical Sites, Legal, etc.).
• Facilitate and energize collaborative workshops and steering committees.
• Be a trusted partner for technical teams
• Bridge the gap between compliance and engineering —technical knowledge and security expertise are key.
• Coordinate audit activities, from preparation to closure (internal and external).
• Review technical designs to ensure alignment with security best practices.

Drive the security audit lifecycle

• Plan and lead major security audits and assessments (SOC2, ISO27001, NIST…).
• Drive evidence collection in collaboration with all involved stakeholders.
• Orchestrate and follow-up the remediation of findings.
• Contribute to the team's transversal missions
• Participate in SOX legal audit, third party risk management, clients security questionnaires, and due diligence.
• Support the creation of clear, structured, and actionable security documentation (policies, standards…).
• Write security GRC documentation (Information security policies, Technical security standards using technical knowledge).

Who You Are:

Educational Background:

• Master's degree in Information Security, Computer Science, or a related field.
• Additional certifications in security governance or compliance frameworks (e.g., ISO27001 Lead Auditor/Implementer, CISA, CISSP, or similar) are highly valued.
• Continuous professional development in areas such as risk management, audit methodologies, and regulatory compliance.

Skills and Experience:

• You have experience in security GRC, compliance, or risk management.
• You are used to working with engineering teams, and you have a passion for it. You understand the basics of authentication, encryption, access control, threat modeling, etc., and you know how to talk to engineers.
• You know how to structure and lead complex, multi-team projects in a fast-paced, agile environment.

Soft Skills:

• You're a doer: autonomous, resourceful, and driven by the impact you will have, you're able to deal with ambiguities in your missions
• You're a strong communicator: you make complexity simple, align stakeholders, and keep the train moving
• Adopt a solution-oriented and action-driven mindset: When faced with a problem, focus on identifying and sharing potential solutions, implementing the best one, and documenting the process to prevent recurrence. Automate the solution where possible.
• You speak fluent English. French is a plus but not mandatory.
