GRC Specialist, Automation & Technology

Details

Collibra’s GRC Team is looking for a GRC Specialist, Automation & Technology who brings a strong technical mindset and a passion for automation, combined with solid core experience supporting audits and compliance programs.

In this role you will act as a strategic, technical contributor who can bridge the gap between compliance requirements and modern automation tools (like Claude and Workato) to make the team more impactful. You will partner directly with GRC and Internal Audit teams to manage workloads and automate manual processes: building and maintaining AI-driven agent workflows to streamline repeatable processes and controls, facilitating continuous monitoring for the control environment, and supporting technical implementations of controls for new cloud environments and AI initiatives.

This is a hybrid role based in Collibra's Raleigh office. The hybrid model requires working from the office at least two days each week.

Responsibilities

• Collaborate with GRC and Internal Audit teams to architect and deploy AI agentic capabilities (e.g., multi-step Claude workflows, Workato recipes) and autonomous control monitoring processes to eliminate repeatable manual GRC overhead and streamline evidence validation.
• Engineer continuous control monitoring pipelines and real-time control checks for key security frameworks to shift Collibra from point-in-time sampling to an always-audit-ready risk posture.
• Support the technical GRC infrastructure integration of new cloud environments into the control framework (starting in Q3).
• Facilitate automated governance guardrails and continuous monitoring systems for the expanding portfolio (e.g., AIUC-1) to maintain ongoing compliance.
• Partner with Internal Audit and GRC colleagues to evaluate manual processes and controls and leverage orchestration and automation platforms to maximize efficiency and impact of risk mitigation practices.
• Help design automated key risk indicator (KRI) and key performance indicator (KPI) reporting to senior management.
• Administer day-to-day functions of Collibra’s GRC platforms and tools (e.g., Optro) to maintain a reliable source of truth.

Requirements

• 3+ years of experience in a technical compliance role, IT internal audit, or GRC environment, ideally within an enterprise SaaS platform.
• Experience building workflow automations using industry standard platforms (for example Workato, Claude, or native GRC platform automation engines).
• Hands-on experience reviewing or auditing cloud environments (cloud infrastructure, IAM, and native logging systems) and AI programs.
• One or more certifications are nice-to-have: CISA, CRISC, CISSP, CIA, CPA, or relevant cloud/automation certifications (e.g., Azure, AWS, GCP, Workato).
• A bachelor’s degree or equivalent related working experience is required.
• This position is not eligible for visa sponsorship.

You Are

• Passionate about automation and efficiency, with a strong interest in leveraging AI and orchestration tools to optimize risk practices.
• Knowledgeable about information security fundamentals, cloud compliance principles, and the mechanics of continuous control monitoring.
• Familiar with performing control testing or supporting technology audits, with exposure to cloud environments (AWS/GCP/Azure) and enterprise ecosystems.
• Familiar with common control frameworks (specifically ISO 27001, ISO 42001, NIST AI, SOC 2) gained through direct support of an audit or compliance program. Familiarity with AIUC-1 is nice to have.
• Able to translate manual compliance workflows into structured logic and discuss technical automation requirements clearly with stakeholders.
• Strong problem-solving and analytical skills to proactively identify repeatable bottlenecks and design automated, sustainable solutions.

Measures of Success

• Within your first month: begin building relationships within the GRC and Internal Audit teams, gain a thorough understanding of Collibra’s GRC tooling and Claude automation workflows, and align on the roadmap for cloud environment onboarding.
• Within your third month: help design and maintain your first AI-driven workflows to automate repeatable tasks (e.g., user access recertifications and training escalations), and support technical onboarding of new cloud environments into the control framework.
• Within your sixth month: help achieve control compliance for in-scope systems and infrastructure, establish automated continuous control monitoring pipelines for Collibra’s ISO framework, and begin designing workflows to support Collibra’s expanding AIUC-1 program.

Compensation

The standard base salary range for this position is $72,000 - $90,000 per year. This position is not eligible for additional commission-based compensation. Salary offers are based on experience, skills, and location.

In addition to base salary, Collibra offers equity ownership, bonus potential, a Flex Fund monthly stipend, pension/401k plans, and more.
