Within Security GRC, Compliance & Audit Programs run the integrated audit across our frameworks and maintains the Common Control Framework, the single set of controls that the whole program is built on. This role sits in Audit & Assurance and owns the framework and the assurance view across every control domain.
What it asks for · 7
- Several years in IT audit, security compliance, or controls assurance, including hands-on ownership of a control framework or control library across more than one framework (for example SOC 2, ISO 27001, FedRAMP, HIPAA)
- Working command of audit mechanics: scoping, walkthroughs, sampling, design versus operating effectiveness, deficiency evaluation, and evidence reliability
- Experience writing control descriptions, control activities, and test procedures that other teams and external auditors relied on
- Experience with continuous controls monitoring or automated evidence collection, whether you built it, ran it, or audited it
- Enough technical fluency to read a runbook, a configuration, or a pipeline definition and judge whether it enforces what the written control claims
- Clear writing, because your control language and status reports are what auditors, engineers, and leadership work from
- Ability to get control owners and partner teams to prioritize and close work without having authority over them
Also a plus
- Have designed or rebuilt a common controls framework and led the remapping of existing frameworks onto it
- Have stood up continuous controls monitoring or automated evidence programs and can speak to coverage, false-positive rates, and what changed as a result
- Have applied LLMs to assurance work, such as control drafting, framework mapping, evidence testing, or monitoring
- Have defined or assessed controls for AI systems or agents operating in production, or for home-built internal systems
- Have provided requirements for a homegrown GRC platform and worked with the engineers who build it
What the job covers
- Own the Common Control Framework: the canonical control set, its mappings to SOC 2, ISO 27001/42001, HIPAA, FedRAMP, and customer commitments, and the change process for adding, retiring, or rewording controls
- Draft and validate control descriptions and control activities with control owners, so each control states who does what, how often, in which system, and what evidence proves it
- Design and run continuous monitoring of control efficacy: define the metrics and automated tests that show operating effectiveness, tune out false positives, surface failures to owners before an auditor does, and build the controls maturity model that shows where each control domain stands and what it takes to move up a level
- Verify remediation and carry it into steady state: GRC Partners lead remediation in their domains and control owners implement the fixes. This role advises on control design and implementation, confirms fixes against what the auditor actually asked for, and keeps one source of truth for control and finding status. Once a fix holds, it works with the partner to standardize the evidence pull and, where appropriate, automate it or build continuous monitoring, so the control rolls into the unified audit management program.
- Map new frameworks and commitments onto the CCF as we commit to them, and support gap assessments when a new framework, certification, product, or entity comes into scope, using the CCF as the baseline and writing the requirements for each delta
- Support the integrated audit and customer audits: readiness checks, walkthrough preparation, evidence request lists, and the readout of external findings back to GRC
- Evaluate evidence reliability, including the completeness and accuracy of system-generated reports and AI-generated evidence, and set the standard for what audit-ready evidence looks like here
- Build with Claude: automate control mapping, evidence testing, and monitoring, and verify machine-drafted control language before it becomes the record
