About the role
Job Summary
The Sovereign Cloud Compliance Manager is responsible for designing, implementing, and monitoring the regulatory compliance framework for sovereign cloud solutions across multiple jurisdictions. This role ensures that data hosting, processing, and operational access meet national, regional, and sector-specific data sovereignty requirements (e.g., EU & US wide regulations, India’s DPDP Act).

-
Compliance-by-Design: Work with engineering and product teams to integrate security and compliance requirements into the cloud architecture lifecycle, ensuring data residency, metadata control, and access restrictions are met.
-
Audit & Certification Management: Own the preparation and execution of internal and external audits, including ISO 27001, SOC2, Sec Num Cloud, BSI-C5, or regional equivalents (e.g., IRAP, SAMA).
-
Vendor & Operational Due Diligence: Evaluate third-party providers and internal operational teams to ensure they adhere to local citizenship, security clearance, and residency requirements.
