About The Position

Fanatics Markets is the real-money prediction and trading app where you can invest in moments you care about. Built on a secure platform, we let users predict real-world outcomes and trade on events they actually follow - from sports and entertainment to political elections and beyond. Our mission is to redefine how fans engage with the moments and markets that matter most. We're looking for the right people to help us build the future of prediction markets. This role combines deep GRC expertise, policy development skills, and collaborative partnership with stakeholders across the organization to strengthen our security posture and compliance programs. You'll lead user access review processes, develop and socialize security policies and standards, manage audit and assessment activities, support incident response efforts, and build dashboards that provide visibility into control effectiveness. Working in a highly regulated industry, you'll help ensure our systems meet rigorous security and compliance standards including SOC 2, ISO 27001, and SOX while enabling the business to innovate with confidence. We need analysts who can balance thorough compliance rigor with the practical realities of a fast-moving organization—who understand both security frameworks and how to make controls work effectively in the real world. If you're passionate about building strong compliance programs that actually make organizations more secure and have the experience to back it up, we want to talk with you.
