Isms Auditor Jobs (NOW HIRING)

We are looking for a Staff Security Analyst to take full ownership of our compliance architecture. You won't just maintain compliance-you'll scale and automate it to eliminate manual friction. In this role, you'll manage our Information Security Management System (ISMS), lead internal and external audits, and serve as the primary bridge between external regulators and our internal teams. If you excel at translating deep technical expertise into practical, automated solutions, this is your chance to shape our security ecosystem across the organization.

• Regulatory Compliance Strategy: Monitor regulatory changes and emerging compliance requirements; assess applicability and impact; develop implementation roadmaps for new regulatory obligations

Control Framework & Testing

• Control Owner Enablement: Work directly with technical and business control owners to design, implement, and automate security controls; provide guidance on control testing methodologies and evidence requirements
• Control Testing Program: Establish and execute risk-based control testing schedules; perform detailed control testing including design effectiveness, operating effectiveness, and sampling methodologies
• Gap Assessment & Remediation: Identify control gaps and deficiencies through testing and continuous monitoring; develop comprehensive remediation plans with clear timelines, ownership, and risk mitigation strategies
• Evidence Management: Design and maintain centralized evidence repositories and compliance platforms (e.g., Vanta, Drata, OneTrust, Hyperproof, or similar GRC tools); ensure evidence quality, completeness, and auditability

Governance, Policy & Documentation

• Policy Development & Maintenance: Create, review, and maintain information security policies, standards, procedures, and guidelines aligned with regulatory requirements and industry best practices
• Unified Control Framework (UCF): Develop and maintain control mapping across multiple frameworks to identify overlapping requirements and optimize control implementation
• Documentation Governance: Oversee the complete lifecycle of compliance documentation from creation through approval, publication, and retirement; maintain version control and change tracking
• Compliance Reporting: Prepare executive-level compliance status reports, risk dashboards, and KPI metrics; communicate compliance posture to senior management, board, and audit committees

Cross-Functional Collaboration & Stakeholder Management

• Executive Communication: Articulate complex compliance requirements and risk scenarios to C-level executives, board members, and non-technical stakeholders
