Grc Director Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Collibra's GRC Team is looking for a GRC Specialist, Automation & Technology who brings a strong technical mindset and a passion for automation, combined with solid core experience supporting audits and compliance programs.

In your day to day, you will act as a strategic, technical contributor who can bridge the gap between compliance requirements and modern automation tools (like Claude and Workato) to make our team more impactful.

You will partner directly with GRC and Internal Audit teams to manage workloads and automate manual processes: helping build and maintain AI-driven agent workflows to streamline repeatable processes and controls, facilitating continuous monitoring for our control environment, and supporting technical implementations of controls, such as for new cloud environments or new AI initiatives. 

Values-in-action: Our customers are our true north. Our GRC Specialist, Automation & Technology will enhance customer trust and accelerate sales pipelines by engineering automated, always-audit-ready environments for critical frameworks.

This is a hybrid role based in our New York City office. Our hybrid model means you'll work from the office at least two days each week. This setup helps us stay connected, work more closely together, and keep making progress as a team.

• Collaborating with the GRC and Internal Audit teams to architect and deploy AI agentic capabilities, such as multi-step Claude workflows, Workato recipes, and autonomous control monitoring processes in order to eliminate repeatable manual GRC overhead and streamline evidence validation.
• Engineering continuous control monitoring pipelines and real-time control checks for our key security frameworks in order to shift Collibra from point-in-time sampling to an always-audit-ready risk posture.
• Supporting the technical GRC infrastructure integration of new cloud environments into our control framework starting in Q3.
• Facilitating automated governance guardrails and continuous monitoring systems for our expanding portfolio (i.e. AIUC-1) in order to maintain ongoing compliance.
• Partnering closely with Internal Audit and GRC colleagues to evaluate manual processes and controls and leverage orchestration and automation platforms in order to maximize the strategic efficiency and impact of our risk mitigation practices.
• Helping design automated key risk indicator (KRI) and key performance indicator (KPI) reporting to senior management.
• Administering the day-to-day functions of Collibra's GRC platforms and tools (i.e. Optro) to maintain a reliable source of truth.

• 3+ years of experience in a technical compliance role, IT internal audit, or GRC environment, ideally within an enterprise SaaS platform.
• Experience building workflow automations using industry standard platforms (e.g., Workato, Claude, or native GRC platform automation engines).
• Hands-on experience reviewing or auditing cloud environments (Cloud infrastructure, IAM, and native logging systems) and AI programs.
• One or more current qualifications is nice-to-have: CISA, CRISC, CISSP, CIA, CPA, or relevant cloud/automation certifications (e.g., Azure, AWS, GCP, Workato).
• A bachelor's degree or equivalent related working experience is required.
• This position is not eligible for visa sponsorship.

• Passionate about automation and efficiency, with a strong interest in leveraging AI and orchestration tools to optimize risk practices.
• Knowledgeable about information security fundamentals, cloud compliance principles, and the core mechanics of continuous control monitoring.
• Familiar with performing control testing or supporting technology audits, with some exposure to cloud environments (AWS/GCP/Azure) and enterprise ecosystems.
• Familiar with common control frameworks, specifically ISO 27001, ISO 42001, NIST AI, SOC 2, gained through direct support of an audit or compliance program. Familiarity with AIUC-1 is nice to have.
• Ability to translate manual compliance workflows into structured logic and discuss technical automation requirements clearly with stakeholders.
• Strong problem-solving and analytical skills to proactively identify repeatable day-to-day bottlenecks and design automated, sustainable solutions.

• Within your first month, you will begin building relationships within the GRC and Internal Audit teams, gain a thorough understanding of Collibra's GRC tooling and Claude automation workflows, and align on the roadmap for cloud environment onboarding. 
• Within your third month, you will be helping design and maintaining your first AI-driven workflows  to automate repeatable day-to-day tasks like user access recertifications and training escalations, while supporting the technical onboarding of new cloud environments into our control framework.
• Within your sixth month, you will help the team achieve control compliance for in-scope systems and infrastructure, establish automated continuous control monitoring pipelines for Collibra's ISO framework, and begin designing workflows to support Collibra's expanding AIUC-1 program.

The standard base salary range for this position is $88,000.00 - $110,000.00 per year. This position is not eligible for additional commission-based compensation. Salary offers are based on a combination of factors, including, but not limited to, experience, skills, and location.

In addition to base salary, we offer equity ownership at every level, bonus potential, a Flex Fund monthly stipend, pension/401k plans, and more.
