Senior Director Of Customer Trust

The Senior Director of Customer Trust leads a critical cross-functional function responsible for building, scaling, and sustaining trust with Workiva's global customer base. This highly visible leadership role blends strategic vision with hands-on execution, overseeing the governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) strategy for Workiva.

  • Cross-Functional Collaboration

  • Partner closely with Sales, Legal, Customer Success, Engineering, and IT to align on compliance priorities and customer needs
  • Serve as a strategic advisor to executive leadership on emerging risk areas and trust requirements
  • Team Leadership

  • Lead and develop a high-performing team of managers and senior professionals across the Customer Trust function
  • Oversee talent development, performance management, hiring, and capacity planning
  • Create a strong leadership bench and culture of continuous learning and innovation in risk and compliance

  • Proven experience in a B2B SaaS environment at scale (preferably $1B+ in revenue or global enterprise presence)
  • Deep understanding of compliance frameworks such as SOC 1 / 2, ISO 27001, FedRAMP, SOX, GDPR, and NIST
  • Demonstrated success managing external audits and engaging with enterprise customers in regulated industries (e.g., financial services, healthcare)
  • Preferred Qualifications

  • 58+ years in a senior leadership role, including supervision of managers
  • Familiarity with customer trust platforms such as Whistic, Conveyor, or Vanta
  • Strong understanding of data privacy and protection, with experience building compliant systems and processes aligned with global regulations (e.g., GDPR, CCPA)
  • Strong track record of designing scalable compliance processes and automation workflows
  • Experience balancing transparency and legal risk in public-facing trust communications
  • Executive-level presence with exceptional stakeholder communication and negotiation skills
  • Adept at driving cross-functional alignment and building influence without authority
  • Proven ability to lead, inspire, and scale a high-impact team
  • Certifications such as CISSP, CISA, CIPP / US, or ISO 27001 Lead Implementer are a strong plus
