About the role

We're looking for a GRC Lead who personally drives our certifications (SOC 2, ISO 27001, FedRAMP and others as we grow) from scoping through audit close, and runs our compliance processes day to day. You'll collect the evidence, write the control documentation, and sit across from the auditor yourself.

What they're looking for

  • 7+ years related experience across technology and cybersecurity Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC), with demonstrated breadth across all three disciplines
  • Experience leading a SOC 2, ISO 27001, FedRAMP or comparable certification from scoping through audit close
  • Hands-on experience collecting audit evidence and writing control documentation
  • Experience managing a recurring compliance process, such as control testing, risk register maintenance, or policy attestations
  • Experience learning new technical domains quickly and translating them for non-technical stakeholders
  • We encourage you to apply even if you don't meet all preferred qualifications
