- Contribute to compliance awareness and training initiatives, particularly in areas tied to audit findings and control gaps.
- Ensure policies are actionable, testable, and aligned to real-world controls.
- Define and track key compliance and audit metrics (e.g., control effectiveness, audit findings, remediation timelines).
- Translate audit and compliance requirements into clear, actionable guidance for the business.
- Mentor and support junior compliance specialists, raising the overall quality of outputs.
We’re excited about you because you have…
- 7+ years of experience in security compliance, GRC, or technology risk, with a strong track record in high-growth, technology-driven, or regulated environments.

- Proven ability to drive readiness and manage the full audit lifecycle, including planning, evidence collection, control testing, and remediation tracking.
- Strong experience implementing and assessing controls across common frameworks such as PCI DSS, SOC 2, ISO 27001, and NIST CSF.
- Demonstrated ability to identify control gaps, assess risk, and drive remediation in partnership with cross-functional stakeholders.
- Experience developing, implementing, or improving security policies, standards, and procedures, ensuring they are practical and aligned to real-world controls.
- Strong understanding of compliance metrics and reporting, with the ability to track control effectiveness, audit outcomes, and risk exposure.
- Ability to influence and drive accountability across technical and non-technical stakeholders without direct authority.
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to translate complex audit and compliance requirements into clear, actionable guidance.
- Experience mentoring or supporting junior team members, contributing to raising the overall capability of the team.
