Job description
About GameChanger:
We believe in the life changing impact youth sports have on and off the field. Sports encourage leadership, teamwork, responsibility, and confidence – important life lessons that have the power to propel our youth toward meaningful futures. We recognize that without coaches, parents, and volunteers, organized youth sports could not exist. By building the first and best place to experience the youth sports moments important to our community, we are helping families elevate the next generation through youth sports.
So if you love sports and their community building potential, or building cool products is your sport, GameChanger is the team for you. We are a remote first, dynamic tech company based in New York City, and we are solving some of the biggest challenges in youth sports today.
The Position:
GameChanger’s Information Security team plays a critical role in safeguarding our platform, protecting the data of millions of youth athletes, families, and coaches, and enabling secure innovation across the company. As the Information Security Engineering Manager, you’ll lead a small but high-impact team focused on building and scaling security practices across our cloud-native infrastructure, applications, and internal systems.
This is a hands-on, strategic role that blends leadership, technical depth, and cross-functional collaboration. You’ll work closely with Engineering, Product, Legal, and senior leadership to drive initiatives in cloud and application security, GRC, incident response, and security automation. You’ll report to the Director of Information Security and shape the future of our security program while supporting the professional growth of your team and helping GameChanger scale safely and securely.
What You’ll Do:
Lead and mentor the Information Security team, setting clear priorities, fostering autonomy, and supporting career development.
Own and evolve the information security backlog. Identify, assess, and prioritize risks, propose and implement mitigations, and communicate decisions across stakeholders.
Drive initiatives in incident response, vulnerability management, and security automation, while enabling secure product development through close collaboration with Engineering.
Lead compliance initiatives, including internal assessments (NIST CSF 2.0), external audits, and third-party vendor reviews.
Partner with Engineering to review system and architecture designs, code changes, and deployment processes embedding security into the SDLC.
Champion a culture of security-first thinking through cross-functional collaboration, internal training, and running a company-wide security steering committee.
Participate in the team’s on-call rotation for triaging alerts and responding to security incidents.
Translate technical risks into business terms and actionable outcomes.
Who You Are:
5+ years of experience in Information Security, including 2+ years managing or mentoring security teams.
Experience with application and cloud security in modern SaaS environments (preferably AWS), including IAM, encryption, secrets management, and infrastructure-as-code security.
Background in GRC frameworks and driving compliance efforts (NIST CSF 2.0, SOC 2, etc.) from assessment to remediation.
Hands-on familiarity with security tools and practices such as vulnerability scanning, SIEM, DLP, and endpoint detection (EDR).
Collaboration with software engineers, product managers, and infrastructure teams to embed security in the development lifecycle.
Strength in frame technical risks for executives just as easily as you can dive deep with engineers.
Balance pragmatism with security best practices and you know how to earn buy-in and move security forward without slowing the business down.
