Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC) Senior Analyst

About Mesh At Mesh, our mission is to enable consumers to pay and be paid with any asset. Today, trillions of dollars in tokenized assets exist but remain largely unusable for everyday commerce. Mesh is bridging this gap by making crypto payments reliable, useful, and ubiquitous. We combine a powerful orchestration engine with a seamless consumer app to unlock liquidity for the world. Backed by leading investors like PayPal Ventures, Paradigm, and Galaxy Ventures, we are building the infrastructure for the next era of the global economy. Join us! Overview We're hiring a GRC Senior Analyst to help build the compliance foundation powering the future of global crypto payments. At Mesh, we're connecting hundreds of exchanges, wallets, and financial platforms into a single open network, and this role will be instrumental in ensuring we scale securely, responsibly, and with trust at the center of everything we do. As we continue to grow, you'll play a key role in shaping and maturing our GRC program across initiatives including SOC 2, MiCA licensing, and Money Transmitter Licenses throughout the U.S. This is a hands‑on role with meaningful ownership—from managing day‑to‑day controls and strengthening core compliance processes to partnering closely with our Head of Security and GRC lead to navigate an increasingly complex regulatory landscape. We're looking for someone who enjoys rolling up their sleeves, building programs that scale, and contributing to the infrastructure powering the next generation of global payments. What You’ll Do Own and strengthen our controls environment, ensuring compliance requirements are effectively implemented and maintained. Support and mature our GRC program, including SOC 2 operations and alignment with broader security frameworks such as NIST. Build and maintain our Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery program, including BIAs, continuity plans, and recovery runbooks. Conduct vendor and third‑party risk assessments as we expand our global network of partners. Support MiCA licensing and U.S. Money Transmitter License applications through due diligence, regulatory responses, and compliance reporting. Manage the security issue lifecycle, driving remediation efforts and partnering with teams to reduce risk. Help standardize policies, controls, and compliance processes that can scale across jurisdictions and regulatory frameworks. Who You Are 5+ years of hands‑on GRC experience in an operating environment, with a track record of building and managing compliance programs—not just auditing them. Deep familiarity with one or more major frameworks, such as SOC 2, NIST, PCI, MiCA, NYDFS, or CCPA. Experience building or maturing Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery programs, with a strong understanding of how business impact assessments inform recovery strategies. Comfortable supporting the full risk lifecycle, including risk assessments, control testing, issue management, and remediation. A hands‑on builder who enjoys improving processes, operationalizing controls, and turning requirements into scalable programs. Regularly uses AI tools to increase efficiency and improve outcomes across areas such as policy development, process monitoring, or program management. Experience in fintech, crypto, payments, or other regulated industries is a plus, as is familiarity with GRC platforms such as Vanta, Drata, or Archer. Pay Range $150,000—$200,000 USD Why You’ll Love It Here At Mesh, you're not stepping into a typical role—you're joining a rocket ship in mid‑liftoff. You'll tackle complex, meaningful problems that actually move an industry forward, working alongside a sharp, motivated team that moves quickly, collaborates deeply, and expects everyone to operate with ownership. This is the kind of place where you'll see your work ship fast, make real impact, and be able to point to something and say, "I built that." You'll grow fast, level up your skills, and get a front‑row seat to how a high‑growth company scales from the inside, with competitive comp, solid benefits, and room to stretch your craft all coming standard. If you're energized by building, learning, and shaping something big—this is where you'll want to be.
