  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to drive risk awareness and remediation efforts
  • Support process improvements to enhance GRC efficiency and scalability
  • Assist in the implementation and optimization of GRC tools and automation
  • Stay current on evolving cybersecurity risks and compliance requirements
  • Perform additional related duties as needed


Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in Cybersecurity, Information Technology, Risk Management, or a related field
  • 3+ years of experience in cybersecurity, risk, compliance, or audit-related roles
  • Experience supporting audits, risk assessments, and compliance initiatives
  • Experience collaborating across IT and business teams
  • Working knowledge of cybersecurity frameworks such as NIST CSF, ISO 27001, and CIS


Preferred Qualifications:

  • Relevant certifications such as Security+, CISA, CRISC, or similar
  • Familiarity with GRC platforms (e.g., ServiceNow GRC, Archer, Drata, Vanta or similar tools)
