Senior GRC Analyst

Location: Remote

About Compyl

Compyl is a high-growth, venture-backed GRC and automated security compliance platform built by security practitioners for security practitioners. Founded in 2020 by two former CISO's, we replace the spreadsheets, point tools, and consulting engagements security teams have relied on with a single, all-in-one platform that automates evidence collection, control mapping, audit preparation, and continuous monitoring. We're backed by Venture Guides, Contour Venture Partners, and Armory Square Ventures.

The Role

Our customers don't just need a platform that tracks their GRC program. They need a trusted voice who can help them think through it. As a Senior GRC Analyst, you'll be the person customers turn to when a risk assessment gets complicated, an audit raises an unexpected question, or a policy needs to be adapted to their specific environment.

This role goes beyond process execution and platform support. You'll bring real GRC judgment to every customer interaction, recognizing when a question is more complex than it looks, and guiding customers through it with the confidence of someone who has actually done this work before.

What You'll Do

Serve as a hands-on GRC advisor for a portfolio of customers, guiding them through risk assessments, risk registers, audit preparation, and control rollouts.
Help customers prepare for and navigate audits (SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, NIST, and similar frameworks), translating requirements into practical next steps.
Advise on policy development and control design tailored to each customer's risk profile and maturity level — not just “what the framework says,” but what actually makes sense for them.
Spot GRC complexity early — recognizing when a customer's question touches on risk, compliance, or audit nuance that needs more than a standard playbook answer.
Partner closely with Support and Customer Success to own the escalations that require real GRC expertise, not just product knowledge.
Turn recurring customer questions into scalable guidance — playbooks, internal knowledge base content, and best-practice frameworks the whole team can use.
Act as the voice of the customer internally, flagging where our platform could better support real-world GRC workflows.

What We're Looking For

5+ years of experience as a GRC analyst, consultant, or coordinator — in-house, at a consulting firm, or in a similar capacity.
Direct, hands-on experience with audits, risk assessments and risk registers, and policy rollouts — you've been in the room, not just read about it.
Working familiarity with common frameworks (SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, NIST, or similar) — deep specialization isn't required, but you should be able to orient quickly in any of them.
An instinct for GRC complexity: you can tell when something is more nuanced than it first appears, and you know how to break it down for someone who's stuck.
Strong consultative communication skills — you can explain a compliance concept to a nontechnical stakeholder without losing the substance.
A genuine interest in helping customers solve problems, not just closing tickets.

Nice to Have

Certifications such as CISA, CRISC, CGRC, or ISO 27001 Lead Implementer/Auditor.
Experience working directly with a GRC software platform (as a practitioner, implementer, or vendor-side consultant).
Exposure to multiple industries or company sizes, giving you a broader sense of how GRC programs vary in practice.
