GRC Consultant – Compliance & Audit Readiness

Accountabilities: • Own the end-to-end audit journey for an assigned portfolio of global customers, from gap assessment and readiness through external audit fieldwork, findings remediation, and closure.

• Assess security controls, cloud environments, organizational policies, and operating practices to identify control, evidence, documentation, and implementation gaps early.

• Translate identified gaps into practical, risk-based remediation plans and coordinate with Engineering, IT, DevOps, and leadership teams to drive timely resolution.

• Review audit evidence for relevance, completeness, and consistency before submission while maintaining a clear and audit-ready trail of requests, responses, decisions, and supporting documentation.

• Serve as a coordination point between customers and independent auditors by facilitating requests, clarifying how controls operate, and helping teams respond accurately while preserving auditor independence.

• Track evidence requests, dependencies, exceptions, and delivery risks across multiple engagements, communicating progress clearly and escalating blockers before they impact audit timelines.

• Guide customers through SOC 2 Type I and Type II examinations and ISO/IEC 27001 audits, with exposure to ISO/IEC 27701, HIPAA, GDPR, and PCI DSS where relevant.

• Work flexibly across EU and US working hours to support international customers and audit firms during critical and time-sensitive stages of engagements.

• Identify recurring audit challenges and contribute to reusable playbooks, evidence guidance, and scalable workflows that improve the effectiveness of future engagements.

Requirements:

• Bring 2–5 years of relevant experience in information security, IT audit, compliance consulting, or a closely related customer-facing advisory role, with candidates bringing deeper experience also encouraged to apply.

• Have strong working knowledge of SOC 2 Type I and Type II and ISO/IEC 27001, including control design, evidence expectations, readiness activities, and external audit workflows.

• Demonstrate direct experience participating in, coordinating, or supporting third-party security audits and responding to auditor requests, observations, or findings.

• Be comfortable with AWS, GCP, or Azure environments, SaaS architectures, identity and access management, and the technical context required to assess how security controls operate.

• Be a practical problem-solver who can distinguish documentation gaps from control-design or operating-effectiveness issues and determine the appropriate remediation approach.

• Demonstrate clear written and verbal communication, with the judgment to align technical teams, executives, customers, and external auditors around facts, ownership, risks, and next steps.

• Have strong organizational skills and follow-through, with the ability to manage multiple parallel engagements, changing priorities, and time-sensitive evidence requests.

• Be willing to work flexibly across EU and US working hours to support international customers and audit partners.

• Certifications such as CISA, CISM, CISSP, ISO/IEC 27001 Lead Auditor or Lead Implementer, or a relevant privacy credential are a plus.

• Experience with a compliance automation platform, cybersecurity consultancy, or fast-scaling B2B SaaS company supporting international customers is also desirable.

Benefits:

• 100% remote work, with the flexibility to work from wherever you are most productive.

• Generous annual co-working allowance for employees who prefer a dedicated shared workspace.

• USD 1,000 annual learning and development allowance to support professional growth and skill development.

• Unlimited leave to support flexibility, rest, and personal well-being.

• Health insurance coverage of up to INR 10 lakh for you and your family.

• Additional accident protection of INR 10 lakh and life insurance coverage equivalent to 3x your annual salary.

• INR 35,000 contribution toward setting up a comfortable and effective home workspace.

• Opportunity to work with international customers and independent auditors across global compliance and security frameworks.

• Exposure to SOC 2, ISO/IEC 27001, privacy, healthcare, payment, and other evolving compliance requirements.

• Inclusive and accessible work environment where talent, curiosity, ownership, and impact are valued.
