[Hiring] Senior GRC Engineer @J.D. Power

Role Description

Senior GRC Engineer to lead governance, risk, and compliance initiatives across enterprise frameworks.

You will drive audit remediation with fixed deadlines, maintain control frameworks, and ensure stakeholder confidence through transparent governance and metrics.

You will reduce the audit remediation backlog from months to weeks, establish sustainable compliance processes, and become the trusted advisor to both internal leadership and external auditors.

• Manage enterprise risk assessment and risk treatment processes, including risk register maintenance and acceptance reviews
• Direct audit evidence collection, control documentation, finding resolution, and audit coordination across all frameworks
• Develop and maintain governance metrics, KRIs, and reporting dashboards visible to customers and board
• Build and evolve the organization's control frameworks aligned with customer and regulatory requirements
• Manage Plan of Action and Milestones (POAM) tracking and vulnerability remediation governance
• Coordinate with business units, executives, and audit partners on compliance obligations and risk reporting

Qualifications

• 7+ years in GRC, audit, or compliance engineering roles with demonstrated success managing parallel engagements
• Deep hands-on experience with SOC 2, ISO 27001, and enterprise audit processes
• Proficiency with GRC platforms (ServiceNow, Archer, AuditBoard, or equivalent)
• Strong technical understanding of IT controls, security frameworks, and risk methodologies
• Excellent communication skills for audit coordination, exception tracking, and board-level reporting
• Experience developing metrics and dashboards that communicate risk posture to executive leadership

Requirements

• CISSP, CISM, or CRISC certification
• Experience with DORA, PCI DSS 4.0, or EU regulatory frameworks
• Background in B2B SaaS compliance and customer audit programs
• Experience managing multiple concurrent audit frameworks and regulatory examinations

Benefits

• This position has a starting salary range of $120,000 - $145,000 CAD / $140,000 - $165,000 USD per year.
• Eligible employees may participate in medical, dental, vision, disability, life insurance, retirement savings programs, paid time off, wellness programs, and other company-sponsored benefits.
