Compliance Manager • Senior
Overview
Discord is hiring a Senior Security GRC Manager to build and scale their security compliance program. You'll work closely with Security, Engineering, IT, and Legal to develop security policies and lead audit engagements. This role requires expertise in SOC 2 and ISO frameworks.
Job Description
Who you are
You have 5+ years of experience in security governance, risk management, and compliance (GRC) — you've successfully built and matured GRC programs in fast-paced environments, ensuring compliance with industry standards and regulations. Your deep understanding of security policies and frameworks allows you to develop practical solutions that align with engineering practices.
You possess strong project management skills — you can plan and lead audit and certification engagements, ensuring that all necessary documentation and evidence are collected efficiently. Your ability to collaborate with cross-functional teams, including Security, Engineering, IT, and Legal, enables you to drive compliance initiatives that are both effective and sustainable.
You are familiar with various compliance frameworks such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, ISO 27701, and ISO 42001 — you understand the nuances of each and can adapt them to meet Discord's evolving business needs. Your experience in selecting and implementing compliance tooling helps streamline processes and improve overall efficiency.
You have a proactive approach to risk management — you can identify potential compliance gaps and develop strategies to mitigate them before they become issues. Your analytical mindset allows you to assess the effectiveness of existing controls and recommend improvements.
What you'll do
In this role, you will own Discord's Security Compliance function within GRC, driving certification readiness and policy development. You will build and mature the GRC program by selecting and implementing the right tools, defining workflows, and establishing scalable processes for ongoing compliance. Your expertise will be crucial in developing and maintaining security policies and standards that meet certification requirements while being practical for engineering teams to implement.
You will plan and lead audit and certification engagements, ensuring that all necessary documentation is prepared and that the organization is ready for external assessments. Your role will involve designing and implementing control frameworks with automated testing and evidence collection, creating systems that check compliance efficiently.
You will work closely with various teams to ensure that compliance is not just a box-checking exercise but an integral part of Discord's operations. Your ability to communicate effectively with stakeholders will help foster a culture of compliance across the organization.
What we offer
Discord provides a collaborative and inclusive work environment where you can thrive. We offer competitive compensation and benefits, including flexible work arrangements to support your work-life balance.
