Head of Compliance

Company

AnySignal is developing the next generation of RF products and services for some of the most demanding space and defense missions. We’re building a flexible, high-performance platform that’s easy to deploy, monitor, and scale — enabling customers to bring advanced radio technologies to life faster than ever before.

About the Role

We are seeking a Head of Compliance to own and evolve AnySignal’s security and regulatory compliance posture. This role will be responsible for ensuring compliance with U.S. and international security regulations common in aerospace and defense, while building scalable processes that support company growth.

This is a senior, cross-functional leadership role that partners closely with Engineering, IT, Legal, Facilities, and executive leadership. You will translate complex regulatory requirements into practical, auditable, and operationally efficient programs.

Key Responsibilities

• Own AnySignal’s overall compliance and security strategy

• Lead compliance efforts across key regulatory frameworks, including:

  • ITAR / EAR

  • NIST (e.g., 800-171)

  • CMMC

  • Other aerospace and defense security requirements as applicable

• Design, implement, and maintain security policies, procedures, and internal controls

• Partner closely with IT to implement and enforce

  • Secure system architectures

  • Identity and access management

  • Audit logging, monitoring, and incident response processes

• Own non-IT security domains, including:

  • Physical building security

  • Segregation of duties

  • Segregation of locations and systems (e.g., ITAR vs. non-ITAR environments)

• Lead readiness for audits, customer security reviews, and regulatory assessments

• Develop and deliver security and compliance training for employees

• Support cleared or controlled environments, including:

  • Planning or implementation of SCIF / secure facilities in collaboration with FSO

  • Collaboration with or support of FSO for personnel clearances

• Serve as a trusted advisor to leadership on security risk, compliance tradeoffs, and roadmap implications

What Success Looks Like

• AnySignal maintains strong, audit-ready compliance across all applicable security regulations

• Security and compliance processes are clearly documented, understood, and followed across the company

• IT and non-IT security controls work together seamlessly

• Audits and customer security reviews are predictable, efficient, and low-friction

• The company can confidently pursue new government and defense programs without compliance becoming a bottleneck

• Security is embedded into daily operations rather than treated as a one-time effort

Qualifications

• 8+ years of experience in compliance, security, or regulatory roles within aerospace, defense, government contracting, or similarly regulated industries

• Deep working knowledge of ITAR / EAR

• Strong familiarity with NIST security frameworks

• Demonstrated ability to implement compliance programs across both IT and physical/operational domains

• Experience working cross-functionally with engineering, IT, facilities, and legal teams

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including policy development and audit engagement

• Must be a U.S. Person as defined by CFR 120.62; U.S. citizenship strongly preferred

Bonus

• Experience in early-stage or scaling technology companies
  

• Prior exposure to classified programs or cleared environments
  

• Experience standing up or operating SCIF / secure facilities
  

• Experience working directly with or as an FSO
  

• Background in satellite, RF, or space systems environments

Compensation Range: $200K - $250K
