• Collaborate with stakeholders across security, engineering, and legal to monitor and drive improvements to our controls
• In close partnership with control owners, translate control remediation opportunities into business-enabling processes and standards
• Lead continuous process improvement, automation and third-party tooling that support scalable compliance and audit support functions
• Act as a subject matter expert for applicable compliance standards and be a valued partner to the business and engineering teams in the implementation of the standards
