• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to collect and organize control evidence for external audits, ensuring timely submission and reporting

• Act as a liaison between internal teams and external auditors to facilitate a smooth, efficient, and well-coordinated audit process

• Continuously improve the audit process through automation, enhanced workflows, and rationalization of controls to increase efficiency year over year

We'd love to hear from you if you have:

• 7+ years of experience in information security, compliance, or risk management

• Ability to work efficiently and independently in a fast-paced, high-volume environment

• Deep knowledge of security frameworks and standards (e.g., ISO 27001, NIST, SOC 2)

• Experience managing audits, compliance programs, and regulatory assessments

• Strong understanding of cloud-based applications and corporate IT infrastructures

• Solid project management and organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities

• Effective communication skills, with the ability to convey complex concepts to technical and non-technical audiences
