Qualifications

• 3–5 years of experience in GRC, IT audit, information security, or closely related field.
• Working knowledge of major security frameworks such as SOC 2, ISO 27001/27701/42001, NIST CSF, HIPAA, GDPR, or CCPA.
• Experience with GRC platforms (Anecdotes, Vanta, Drata, Secureframe, OneTrust, ServiceNow GRC).
• Experience running user access reviews and a solid understanding of identity and access management concepts (RBAC, least privilege, segregation of duties, JML processes).
• Hands-on experience administering security awareness or phishing simulation platforms (Adaptive Security, KnowBe4, Hoxhunt, Proofpoint, or similar).
• Comfort with cloud environments (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and how SaaS products are built and operated.
• Strong written communication; translate control requirements and security concepts for engineers, customers, and non-technical employees.
• Detail-oriented and organized; manage multiple audits, campaigns, and deadlines.
• Collaborative mindset; work across teams rather than gatekeeping.

Responsibilities

• Support day-to-day GRC operations including user access reviews and certifications, security awareness and phishing/deepfake simulation facilitation, JML tracking, and triage of policy and control exceptions.
• Support the risk management program: perform risk assessments, maintain the risk register, partner with risk owners on remediation, and track issues through to closure.
• Support third-party risk management: run vendor and subprocessor risk assessments, conduct ongoing monitoring, and track remediation across critical vendors.
• Execute internal audits using established test procedures to test control effectiveness, and coordinate evidence and remediation for external audits.
• Help maintain continuous control monitoring and evidence automation, administer the GRC platform, and keep audit readiness year-round.
• Build relationships with cross-functional partners across engineering, IT, operations, legal, and sales; avoid gatekeeping.
• Partner with control owners to understand their responsibilities, prepare for audits, and operationalize controls rather than treating compliance as a checkbox.
• Help keep the policy library current; review updates to security policies, standards, and procedures to stay practical and aligned.
• Turn program data into insights and translate findings into metrics for leadership.
• Take on additional GRC projects as the program evolves; priorities shift as the team grows.
