About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Design, document, and continuously improve compliance processes and frameworks to scale GRC operations across Commercial, IG, and USG environments.
Serve as connective tissue across teams, translating regulatory requirements into actionable workflows and ensuring accountability at every stage of the compliance lifecycle.
Coordinate across internal and external audit cycles (FedRAMP, SOC 2, ISO 27001, etc.), ensuring evidence collection, remediation tracking, and stakeholder communication stay on schedule.
Keep broad and complete state of everything involving or related to your projects, including audit timelines, control implementation status, and continuous monitoring obligations. Pre-empt and resolve any issues that may steer projects off-course.
Enhance cross-team collaboration across engineering, legal, and customer-facing teams to drive key GRC deliverables through the entire software development and compliance lifecycle.
Synthesize concrete compliance goals from product and regulatory vision, mapping global strategy to granular team tasks and issues. This means triaging requests from the field to create maximum focus for the team, while escalating items that need immediate attention.
Work with customer-facing engineering teams on adoption, roll out, and support of compliance-related product features and certifications.

Excellent judgment and composure in high-pressure situations, including during active audits or compliance incidents.
A creative approach to project management centered around lightweight frameworks that enable rapid iteration, while operating in harmony with a larger development and compliance organization.
An ability to develop strong relationships with key internal stakeholders (including customer-facing teams), auditors, and regulators, with a high level of empathy for our end-users' needs.
Meticulous attention to detail, including holding tightly to your team's compliance and product quality bar.
