IT Policy and Compliance Manager

RESPONSIBILITIES:
Kforce has a client that is seeking an experienced IT Policy and Compliance Manager to lead enterprise IT governance, risk, and compliance initiatives for a large, privately held organization headquartered in Irving, TX. This role partners closely with IT leadership and business stakeholders to design, implement, and maintain policies, standards, and controls aligned with recognized industry frameworks and business objectives.

Overview:
The IT Policy and Compliance Manager will serve as a subject matter expert in IT governance, audit readiness, and risk management. The role is hands-on and strategic, focused on building sustainable compliance programs rather than checkbox or regulator-driven efforts. Candidates should bring strong IT infrastructure experience and direct exposure to the IT side of audits, particularly ISO-related frameworks.

Responsibilities include leading IT policy and documentation efforts, supporting compliance audits (e.g., ISO, PCI), conducting risk and gap assessments, tracking remediation activities, and collaborating with cross-functional partners such as Legal, Internal Audit, and IT operations. This role also contributes to vendor management, business continuity planning, and information security initiatives.

The position is primarily onsite with limited flexibility for occasional remote work. The hiring model is open to direct hire or contract-to-hire, depending on candidate fit and conversion considerations. The interview process includes video interviews and an onsite visit with personality and aptitude testing.

REQUIREMENTS:
* Bachelor's degree in Information Technology, Computer Science, or a related field
* 10+ years of experience across multiple IT disciplines (networks, firewalls, IAM/Active Directory, email, storage, backup & recovery, desktop support)
* 1-3+ years of hands-on experience supporting IT compliance, audits, or governance initiatives

Practical experience with IT governance and security frameworks such as:
* ISO 27001/27002
* NIST CSF
* NIST 800-171
* PCI DSS

* Strong understanding of IT infrastructure controls and cybersecurity fundamentals
* Experience conducting and documenting risk assessments, gap analysis, and process reviews
* Ability to develop and maintain IT policies, standards, and procedures
* Experience tracking audit findings and coordinating remediation efforts
* Strong written and verbal communication skills; Able to work with both technical and non-technical stakeholders
* Proven ability to manage multiple initiatives and competing priorities
* Experience supporting or participating in incident response or forensic investigations (preferred)
* Relevant certifications such as CISSP, CISA, CISM, or ITIL are a plus

This range may be modified in the future.
