About this role

Beaconsoftware is hiring for a Director - Governance, Risk, Compliance & Privacy (GRC) role (full-time). See the official posting for full details.

Requirements

  • You have built or substantially matured a GRC program before and taken an organization through SOC 2 Type 2. Typically several years (5+) in GRC, IT governance, or security compliance, though what you have built matters…
  • A builder with a bias for action. When you see a manual process, your first instinct is how to automate it.
  • A strong systems thinker. You design scalable GRC architectures, not one-off fixes for the next audit.
  • Fluent with a compliance automation platform (Vanta, Drata, Secureframe, or similar) and current on AI tooling in practice, not just in theory.
  • Comfortable across both security compliance and data privacy, or able to ramp quickly on regimes you have not personally run.
  • An excellent cross-functional communicator who works through influence and can translate compliance requirements into terms both technical and non-technical teams can act on.
  • A clear writer.
  • Worked in a fast paced, start-up environment.
