## About the role

Our customers, including programs within the U.S. Air Force and Navy, trust us with the data and controls behind their hardware, so our compliance posture has to hold up under outside scrutiny. Nominal's programs span FedRAMP, SOC 2, CMMC, and Cyber Essentials Plus (CE+), each with its own controls, evidence, and assessors. GRC is the function that keeps all of them moving and gets them across the line. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- Hands-on experience running compliance programs through audits, such as FedRAMP, SOC 2, CMMC, or CE+
- Working knowledge of control frameworks and how they map to each other, such as NIST 800-53, NIST 800-171, and the SOC 2 trust services criteria
- Experience turning gap analysis into a sequenced remediation plan with named owners and dates
- A track record of owning evidence collection and audit readiness, including working directly with assessors
- Enough technical fluency to talk with engineering, IT, and security teams about what a control means in practice and whether the evidence satisfies it
- Clear written and verbal communication when reporting status and risk to senior leaders
