About the role

  • Our GRC function is at an early, formative stage.
  • The mandate spans security compliance, data privacy, risk, and AI governance.
  • We expect it to be built AI-first: modern automation platforms and LLM-assisted workflows over manual process.

Responsibilities

  • A strong systems thinker. You design scalable GRC architectures, not one-off fixes for the next audit.
  • Privacy or audit certifications (CIPP, CIPM, CISA, CISSP, or ISO 27001 Lead Auditor or Implementer).
  • We seek to build a generational software company.
  • We manage our expectations and those of our partners to take advantage of the 8th wonder of the world - compounding growth.
  • We use AI to support efficiency and consistency, not to replace human judgment.
  • You design scalable GRC architectures, not one-off fixes for the next audit.
  • Enough technical fluency to scope what the program needs and partner closely with engineering, even without building the tooling yourself.

Requirements

  • You have built or substantially matured a GRC program before and taken an organization through SOC 2 Type 2.
  • Typically several years (5+) in GRC, IT governance, or security compliance, though what you have built matters more to us than the count.
  • Comfortable across both security compliance and data privacy, or able to ramp quickly on regimes you have not personally run.
  • Experience with regimes beyond SOC 2 (ISO 27001, PCI DSS, HIPAA, FedRAMP, StateRAMP) and accessibility conformance (WCAG, VPAT).

Benefits

  • Multi-entity, private-equity, or holding-company experience.
