About the Team
Meesho's Security & Compliance team safeguards a platform that 5% of Indian households shop with - millions of orders, billions of data points, zero downtime as a baseline. We own the Information Security Management System, drive every external certification, and shape how Meesho earns trust with sellers, buyers, partners and regulators. We move fast, default to automation, and obsess over evidence.

This is a hands-on individual contributor role for someone who wants to drive - not just oversee - a multi-framework compliance program. You'll be the DRI for ISO 27001:2022 and SOC 2 Type II, run end-to-end ITGC and TPRM cycles, and help operationalise India's DPDP Rules 2025 across a product organisation that processes data at meaningful scale. You'll work directly with Engineering, IT, Legal, Product, and external auditors.

Partner with Legal and Procurement to embed security clauses in MSAs, DPAs, and sub-processor agreements.
Conduct on-site / virtual vendor audits for tier-1 vendors and report to the security council.

Prepare Meesho for likely Significant Data Fiduciary (SDF) obligations: independent data-auditor coordination, DPO interfacing, algorithmic transparency, and children's-data safeguards.
Track IT Act, CERT-In directions, and sector-specific guidelines as relevant.
Business continuity
Maintain BCP and DR aligned to ISO 22301 - BIAs, RTO/RPO definitions, and annual DR / failover testing.
