At Nova Credit, our mission is to power a more fair and inclusive financial system for the world. We are on our way to accomplishing this mission by rewiring the financial industry with better credit infrastructure, analytics, and workflows, enabling more people to access credit opportunities. Our cross-border credit product, Credit Passport®, cash flow underwriting product, Cash Atlas™, and income verification product, Income Navigator, are trusted by leading organizations like American Express, Verizon, HSBC, SoFi, Scotiabank, and Yardi to help them reach valuable new applicants from traditionally credit excluded populations. With support from investors Canapi Ventures, Kleiner Perkins, General Catalyst, and Index Ventures, as well as industry veterans from Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, and Citi, Nova Credit is revolutionizing the way lending is done. We were recently named Forbes' Best Startup Employers 2024 and Fast Company's World's Most Innovative Companies 2024.

Nova Credit offers a dynamic and inclusive work environment where you can meaningfully impact the lives of people historically excluded from the credit system. We value diversity, intellectual honesty, and innovation and are committed to supporting our team members' professional growth and development. If you're passionate about leveraging technology to drive financial inclusion, we want to hear from you!

As Nova Credit’s Director of Information Security,  you will be the architect of our global information security vision, strategy, and compliance by shaping the continued growth and maturity of the sector. This includes coordinating internal and external cyber and information security audits and translating compliance requirements into actionable cyber and information security controls. Nova Credit’s information security and compliance needs span regulatory, information security, privacy, and more- so you will work cross-functionally with many stakeholders, including customer success, business development, legal, engineering, marketing, and product, to ensure our obligations are met, and the program matures as the company grows. 

This full-time, remote role is based in Canada, reporting directly to Nova Credit’s General Counsel.
Everyone is welcome at Nova Credit. We are an equal-opportunity employer where diversity and inclusion are central pillars of our company strategy. We seek applicants who understand, embrace, and thrive in a multicultural and globalized world. We do not discriminate on the basis of any protected class, including race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.
