• Track and report on compliance metrics, audit findings, risk trends, and remediation progress to Information Security leadership and relevant governance forums.
• Partner with Engineering, Product, Privacy, Legal, People Team, and other business units to embed security and compliance requirements into processes and initiatives.
• Support continuous improvement initiatives across the GRC function, helping to streamline processes, enhance tooling, and improve reporting and visibility.

• Familiarity with third-party risk management processes and supplier assurance activities.
