About The Position

We're hiring a GRC Analyst to help build the compliance foundation powering the future of global crypto payments. At Mesh, we're connecting hundreds of exchanges, wallets, and financial platforms into a single open network, and this role will be instrumental in ensuring we scale securely, responsibly, and with trust at the center of everything we do. As we continue to grow, you'll play a key role in shaping and maturing our GRC program across initiatives including SOC 2, MiCA licensing, and Money Transmitter Licenses throughout the U.S. This is a hands-on role with meaningful ownership—from managing day-to-day controls and strengthening core compliance processes to partnering closely with our Head of Security and GRC lead to navigate an increasingly complex regulatory landscape. We're looking for someone who enjoys rolling up their sleeves, building programs that scale, and contributing to the infrastructure powering the next generation of global payments.

Requirements

3–5 years of hands-on GRC experience in an operating environment, with a track record of building and managing compliance programs—not just auditing them.
Deep familiarity with one or more major frameworks, such as SOC 2, NIST, PCI, MiCA, NYDFS, or CCPA.
Experience building or maturing Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery programs, with a strong understanding of how business impact assessments inform recovery strategies.
Comfortable supporting the full risk lifecycle, including risk assessments, control testing, issue management, and remediation.
A hands-on builder who enjoys improving processes, operationalizing controls, and turning requirements into scalable programs.
Regularly uses AI tools to increase efficiency and improve outcomes across areas such as policy development, process monitoring, or program management.

Nice To Haves

Experience in fintech, crypto, payments, or other regulated industries is a plus, as is familiarity with GRC platforms such as Vanta, Drata, or Archer.

Responsibilities

Own and strengthen our controls environment, ensuring compliance requirements are effectively implemented and maintained.

Conduct vendor and third-party risk assessments as we expand our global network of partners.
Support MiCA licensing and U.S. Money Transmitter License applications through due diligence, regulatory responses, and compliance reporting.
Manage the security issue lifecycle, driving remediation efforts and partnering with teams to reduce risk.
Help standardize policies, controls, and compliance processes that can scale across jurisdictions and regulatory frameworks.
