In this role you will map controls to frameworks, maintain documentation, and help automate compliance processes. You’ll partner with Engineering, Legal, Privacy, and Product, and grow into owning defined controls

Qualifications

• 3+ years in security governance, GRC, technical writing, program management, or compliance operations at a tech company.
• Direct security-domain experience (application security, cloud security, IAM, vulnerability management, or GRC-adjacent).
• Demonstrated ability to write clear standards, policies, or procedures non-security readers can act on.
• Working knowledge of a major security/privacy framework (SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST CSF, FedRAMP, PCI, HIPAA, EU AI Act, or equivalent).
• Comfort running cross-functional review cycles with senior stakeholders (Engineering, Legal, Privacy, Product).
• Strong attention to detail — versioning, traceability, review dates, approver signatures.

Responsibilities

• Support the design, maintenance, and evolution of the CCF and its implementation across Salesforce compliance certification programs.
• Map common controls to applicable frameworks, standards, and certification requirements.
• Maintain and update controls throughout their lifecycle — descriptions, mappings, applicability, implementation guidance.
• Support certification programs by analyzing requirements, identifying control coverage, and streamlining assessment processes and timelines.
• Partner cross-functionally to support CCF adoption and implementation.
• Research emerging regulations, standards, and certification requirements for potential impact on the CCF.
• Analyze controls and framework requirements for opportunities to standardize, reuse, and increase efficiency.
• Support efforts to reduce compliance burden by improving CCF processes, controls, and implementation strategies.
• Support identification and implementation of compliance automation opportunities.
• Develop and maintain reporting, metrics, and analyses on CCF adoption, control coverage, and certification readiness.
• Identify and track control gaps and inconsistencies, escalating to senior team members as needed.
• Maintain accurate, current CCF documentation and supporting materials.
• Stay informed on regulatory, standards, and compliance trends, and share relevant updates with the team.
• As experience grows, take ownership of defined controls, mappings, or workstreams and drive their maintenance and improvement.
• Use AI and generative-AI tooling responsibly to enhance CCF processes, stakeholder engagement, and data management
