From day one you'll get hands-on with core operational areas of our program, including user access reviews, our security awareness program through the Adaptive Security platform, and third-party risk management, with clear room to grow into broader ownership, audit leadership, and program strategy over time. This is a great fit for someone with solid working experience in security or compliance who's looking to build hands-on ownership and deepen their skill set in a fast-moving SaaS environment.

• Support day-to-day GRC operations including (but not limited to) 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 help perform annual and ad-hoc 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 our critical vendors.
• Execute internal audits using established test procedures to test control effectiveness, and support external audit cycles by coordinating evidence, control owners, and remediation.
• Help maintain continuous control monitoring and evidence automation support administration of our GRC platform, keep automated control tests and evidence healthy, and help maintain audit readiness year-round rather than point-in-time.
• Build relationships with cross-functional partners across engineering, IT, operations, legal, and sales - meeting teams where they are rather than gatekeeping.
• Partner with control owners to help them understand their control responsibilities and expectations, prepare for audits, and operationalize controls rather than treat compliance as a checkbox.
• Help keep the policy library current support reviews and updates to security policies, standards, and procedures so they stay practical and aligned to the frameworks we operate under.
• Turn program data into insights help translate access review, awareness, and risk findings into insights and metrics that flag high-risk users, teams, or behaviors, and support reporting to leadership.
• Take on additional GRC projects as the program evolves; we're a growing team and priorities shift.

How the role will grow

• Greater ownership of core programs move from supporting established processes to owning entire workstreams (user access reviews, security awareness, third-party risk) end-to-end.
• Audit leadership progress from executing established test procedures to helping design new ones, scoping audits, and coordinating auditors directly.
• Program and control maturity contribute to control improvement and automation initiatives that raise the bar on how efficiently we run the program as we scale.
• Growing influence as you build expertise, you'll have opportunities to mentor newer team members and represent GRC in cross-functional projects.

What we're looking for

• 3-5 years of experience in GRC, IT audit, information security, or a closely related field
• Working knowledge of major security and privacy 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 a security awareness or phishing simulation platform (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; you can translate control requirements and security concepts into language engineers, customers, and non-technical employees understand
• Detail-oriented and organized, with the ability to juggle multiple audits, campaigns, and deadlines
• A collaborative mindset; you enjoy working across teams rather than gatekeeping
