GRC Specialist, Automation & Technology

Details

Collibra's GRC Team is seeking a GRC Specialist, Automation & Technology with a strong technical mindset and a passion for automation. The role bridges compliance requirements and modern automation tools (like Claude and Workato) to reduce manual GRC work, enable always-audit-ready environments, and support technical implementations for new cloud environments and AI initiatives. This is a hybrid role based in the New York City office (in-office at least two days per week). The position is not eligible for visa sponsorship.

Responsibilities

• Collaborate with GRC and Internal Audit teams to architect and deploy AI agentic capabilities (multi-step Claude workflows, Workato recipes) and autonomous control monitoring to eliminate repeatable manual GRC overhead and streamline evidence validation.
• Engineer continuous control monitoring pipelines and real-time control checks to shift from point-in-time sampling to an always-audit-ready risk posture.
• Support 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.
• 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 platforms such as Workato, Claude, or native GRC platform automation engines.
• Hands-on experience reviewing or auditing cloud environments (cloud infrastructure, IAM, native logging systems) and AI programs.
• Familiarity with common control frameworks: ISO 27001, ISO 42001, NIST AI, SOC 2. Familiarity with AIUC-1 is a plus.
• Experience performing control testing or supporting technology audits, with exposure to AWS/GCP/Azure and enterprise ecosystems.
• One or more certifications are nice-to-have (CISA, CRISC, CISSP, CIA, CPA, or cloud/automation certifications such as Azure/AWS/GCP/Workato).
• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent related experience is required.
• Strong problem-solving and analytical skills, ability to translate manual compliance workflows into structured logic, and clear communication with stakeholders about technical automation requirements.

Measures of success

• Month 1: Build relationships across GRC and Internal Audit, learn Collibra’s GRC tooling and Claude automation workflows, and align on cloud onboarding roadmap.
• Month 3: Design and maintain first AI-driven workflows to automate repeatable tasks (e.g., user access recertifications, training escalations) and support cloud environment onboarding into the control framework.
• Month 6: 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 for the AIUC-1 program.

Compensation

• Base salary range: $88,000 - $110,000 per year.
• This position is not eligible for additional commission-based compensation.
• Additional compensation elements mentioned: equity, bonus potential, a Flex Fund monthly stipend, pension/401(k) plans.
