Job Summary:

We are looking for a Senior Compliance Engineer to own TRM’s compliance and GRC initiatives that ensure we continue to deliver best-in-class security and trust for our customers.

The impact you will have here:

Develop scalable and sustainable processes and tools for normalized controls, collecting audit evidence, monitoring controls, and conducting gap analyses.

Manage TRM’s existing security compliance and certification lifecycle (e.g., SOC 2 Type II) while planning for and prioritizing future compliance needs.

Develop a compliance program to achieve FedRAMP certification.

Manage customer due diligence requests including developing and maintaining security collateral for customers (e.g., SIG, CAIQ).

Conduct enterprise risk assessments and manage the risk registry.

Develop a vendor risk management program.

Identify areas for improvement based on input from customers, the go-to-market teams, and overall business objectives. Anticipate customer needs with respect to compliance and due diligence.

What we’re looking for:

Develop automation to programmatically implement controls validations and evidence collections. Experience with Python or other programming and scripting languages is required.

Work to align advanced technologies and Privacy by Design principles from the first stages of development and ensure that the data use meets established regulatory compliance needs.

Strong understanding of Public Sector compliance security standards including NIST 800-53, SOC 2, CMMC, ISO, CyberEssentials UK, and other common compliance frameworks.

Experience with leading a cloud-first SaaS company through the FedRAMP Moderate certification process.

Strong focus on normalizing controls across frameworks and standards, with an eye toward improving maturity, scalability, and consistency over time, while looking beyond just “checking the box”.

Privacy and GDPR experience is a plus.

Security certifications (e.g., CISSP, CISM) are a plus.
