Job description

slice’s purpose is to make the world better at using money and time, with a major focus on building the best consumer experience for your money. We’ve all felt how slow, confusing, and complicated banking can be. So, we’re reimagining it. We’re building every product from scratch to be fast, transparent, and feel good, because we believe that the best products transcend demographics, like how great music touches most of us.

Our cornerstone products and services: slice savings account, slice UPI credit card, slice UPI, and slice business are designed to be simple, rewarding, and completely in your control. At slice, you’ll get to build things you’d use yourself and shape the future of banking in India. We tailor our working experience with the belief that the present moment is the only real thing in life. And we have harmony in the present the most when we feel happy and successful together.

We’re backed by some of the world’s leading investors, including Tiger Global, Insight Partners, Advent International, Blume Ventures, and Gunosy Capital.

About the role

If you’re a TPM who builds systems, drives decisions at senior levels, and wants real ownership over

something that actually matters in a fast-scaling regulated fintech - this role was written for you.

You will own two things at once:

• Modernize how GRC operates at slice - replace fragmented spreadsheets and manual workflows with scalable, platform-grade systems. Drive tooling selection, automation, and integrations across GRC.
• Run our most critical governance programs - own the operating cadence for ITSC, FMC, board reviews, regulatory submissions, policy lifecycle, and executive reporting.

What You will do

GRC Platform Modernization

• Design the target-state for how GRC operates at slice - what gets automated, platformed, and why
• Drive evaluation and onboarding of GRC tooling (policy lifecycle, risk registers, evidence management, audit workflows)
• Build integrations between GRC platforms and engineering systems (Jira, Confluence, SIEM, cloud security) - single source of truth
• Replace spreadsheets and email threads with automated, auditable, scalable workflows
• Define data models for risk, controls, and policy linkage - powering real-time CISO, VPs and board dashboards
• Automate evidence collection, policy review reminders, action tracking, and SLA enforcement

Governance Forums & Operating Cadence

• Own the full cadence for ITSC, FMC, CAB, and board-level reviews - agenda, pre-reads, decision logging, action closure
• Drive decision velocity: surface the right risks, trade-offs, and dependencies to the right leaders at the right time
• Own program rigor (RAG, RAID, escalation paths) as a system - not a spreadsheet

Regulatory & Risk Program Execution

• Translate regulatory expectations (RBI, ISO 27001, SOC) into execution plans with clear owners, milestones, and evidence maps
• Build evidence-readiness infrastructure so the team is never caught off-guard in an audit
• Coordinate across Tech, InfoSec, Risk, Legal, and Finance to deliver cross-functional programs at speed

Policy & Control Lifecycle as a Product

• Run the annual policy review workflow like a product: intake, versioning, reviews, approvals, publication - automated where possible
• Map policies to risk taxonomies and regulatory control frameworks
• Build dashboards showing coverage gaps, aging reviews, and control effectiveness trends

What You will need

Must Have:

• 5-10 years of Technical Program Management - owning complex, cross-functional programs end-to- end
• Experience in or adjacent to security, risk, compliance, IT audit, or regulated tech environments
• Track record of process modernization: you’ve identified broken workflows and rebuilt them as scalable systems
• Proven ability to drive decisions across senior engineering and business stakeholders
• Executive communication: crisp decks, clear narratives, complexity translated into decisions
• High ownership mindset - proactive, follows through, pushes programs to closure

Nice to Have

• Hands-on experience evaluating or implementing GRC tools (ServiceNow GRC, MetricStream, Archer, or similar)
• Experience in fintech, banking, or deeply regulated tech environments
• Familiarity with ISO 27001, SOC 2, or RBI framework alignment
• Experience building dashboards or automation workflows (Power BI, Looker, Python, Jira
• automation)

Why this role stands out

• Most GRC roles hand you a spreadsheet and a compliance calendar. This one hands you a greenfield build problem.
• Real Ownership - you own programs end-to-end, not coordinate tasks for someone else’s agenda
• Greenfield Opportunity - GRC modernization at slice is being built from scratch; you define the architecture
• Executive Visibility - work directly with the CTO, CISO, and CRO; present to board-level forums
• Rare Domain Combination - tech TPM skills + regulatory fluency + executive storytelling in one role
• Visible Impact - when you build it right, every audit, board review, and regulatory submission runs better

Life at slice

Life so good, you’d think we’re kidding:

• An extensive medical insurance that looks out for our employees & their dependents. We’ll love you and take care of you, our promise.
• Flexible working hours. Just don’t call us at 3AM, we like our sleep schedule.
• Tailored vacation & leave policies so that you enjoy every important moment in your life.
• A reward system that celebrates hard work and milestones throughout the year. Expect a gift coming your way anytime you kill it here.
• Learning and upskilling opportunities. Seriously, not kidding.
• Good food, games, and a cool office to make you feel at home. An environment so good, you’ll forget the term “colleagues can’t be your friends”.
