  • Work with auditors to explain controls, processes, and remediation actions.
  • Automation & workflow improvement:
    Help develop and operationalize automated evidence collection processes integrated with control workflows and ticketing systems, reducing manual effort and audit friction.
To be a good fit for the GRC Specialist (Risk and Compliance) role, you will have:
  • 2+ years of professional experience in Risk management, Internal audit (especially IT audit), Security/compliance or GRC roles
  • Experience with ISO/IEC 27001/ 27018, SOC 2 knowledge is a plus
