About The Position

We’re seeking a Staff GRC Risk Specialist to own and operationalize our enterprise risk function across Security Risk, AI Risk, and Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM). This is a highly technical role, not a traditional analyst position, requiring deep fluency in product architecture, AI systems, data flows, and infrastructure to ensure compliance requirements are effectively embedded into how our platform is built and operated.
Working closely with the Head of GRC, you’ll drive the maturity of our risk management program, maintain the Risk Register, lead technical risk assessments, and deliver strategic risk reporting to leadership. You’ll also design scalable, automated GRC workflows that strengthen audit readiness, customer trust, and regulatory alignment as the business evolves.

Requirements

• 7+ years of experience in GRC, security engineering, or IT risk roles with strong product and architecture fluency
• Proven ownership of risk management programs, including risk registers, technical risk assessments, and executive-level reporting
• Deep knowledge of security and risk frameworks (ISO 27001, ISO 42001, SOC 2, NIST 800-53, NIST CSF, NIST AI RMF, HIPAA) and their application to real-world systems
• Strong understanding of cloud-native architectures and security controls across AWS, GCP, or Azure
• Experience with GRC platforms (e.g., Vanta, Drata, OneTrust, ServiceNow GRC) and workflow tools such as Jira Service Management
• Demonstrated ability to leverage AI-powered tools and agents to automate GRC workflows and scale risk operations

Nice To Haves

• Experience with quantitative risk frameworks such as FAIR, COSO, or ISO 31000
• Hands-on familiarity with AI/ML systems, agentic AI, MLOps, or AI safety governance
• Certifications such as CISSP, CISA, CRISC, or ISO 27001 Lead Auditor
• Prior experience navigating AI-specific regulations (e.g., EU AI Act) or emerging technology compliance frameworks

Responsibilities

• Owning the enterprise risk function, including development and continuous improvement of the Risk Register across identification, assessment, mitigation, and monitoring
• Conducting deep technical risk assessments across AI systems and products, data architectures, and inference infrastructure
• Reviewing risk for new products, features, applications, and datasets to embed security and compliance early in the development lifecycle
• Tracking mitigation efforts, escalating critical risks, and providing clear, contextualized risk insights to stakeholders and leadership
• Designing and delivering executive risk reporting, including quarterly briefings on emerging regulations, business changes, and compliance impact forecasts
• Building real-time risk and control health dashboards using GRC and data visualization platforms
• Leading AI risk assessments aligned with emerging standards (e.g., ISO 42001, NIST AI RMF, EU AI Act considerations)
• Optimizing AI risk intake and assessment workflows within Jira Service Management (JSM) Atlassian
• Leveraging AI-driven automation to scale risk activities such as control mapping, evidence validation, and risk correlation analysis
• Owning the Third-Party Risk Management program, including vendor risk assessments and integration with procurement and vendor workflows
