About the role
What you'll own
- Run the PCI DSS audit to completion, then GDPR and SOC 2 Type II this year
- Be the main point of contact for external auditors — scoping, evidence, walkthroughs, findings
- Keep HIPAA and ISO 27001 in good shape between recertifications
- Quarterly access reviews across in-scope systems
- Sprinto: make sure controls are covered, failures are triaged quickly, and evidence is current
- Vulnerability management: track closure against agreed SLAs and chase what's drifting
- Own the compliance risk register — keep it current, get it reviewed on a regular cadence, and make sure it actually informs decisions rather than just sitting there for auditors
- Handle Subject Access Requests and Data Access Requests end-to-end
- Keep the GDPR ROPA accurate as systems, vendors, and data flows change
- Own and enforce data retention — not just on paper, but actually in the systems
- Review new vendors before they're onboarded — security posture, data handling, DPAs
- Reassess critical and high-risk vendors on a regular cycle
- Keep the vendor inventory, DPAs, and sub-processor lists tidy and audit-ready
- Write new policies and update existing ones as our environment, regulations, and business change
- Make sure policies are usable, understood, and actually followed — not shelfware
- Own the compliance and privacy training programme: annual training, role-specific training for engineers handling PHI or cardholder data, and whatever else our frameworks demand
- Look at every recurring task in this role and ask "why is a human still doing this?" —evidence collection, control testing, access review workflows, vendor questionnaire triage, SAR data discovery, policy drafting, ROPA upkeep
- Push Sprinto and our adjacent tooling as far as they'll go, and fill the gaps with scripts, workflows, or AI where it makes sense
- Use LLMs sensibly for drafting, review, and first-pass analysis — but know where a human still has to sign off, especially anything that goes to a regulator or an auditor
- Treat the function's operating model as a product: fewer manual rituals each quarter, not more
What we're looking for
- You've led compliance through at least a couple of these frameworks (PCI DSS, SOC 2, ISO27001, HIPAA, GDPR). You don't need all of them, but PCI DSS and GDPR experience would be very valuable right now
- You've dealt directly with auditors and you're comfortable pushing back when scoping or findings are off
- You're hands-on. This is not a role where you delegate everything and review slides — you'll be in Sprinto, in tickets, in policy drafts, and in vendor reviews
- You're fluent with AI tools and comfortable building automation — whether that's Sprinto workflows, scripting against APIs, using LLMs to cut down manual work, or knowing when to bring in an engineer to build something properly. You don't need to be a developer, but "I'll wait for someone to build it for me" isn't the right mindset
- You can translate between engineers and auditors without frustrating either side
- Bonus: experience with GRC tooling beyond Sprinto, DPO or DPO-adjacent work, payments regulatory exposure, or a track record of measurably reducing manual compliance work through automation
