Senior Principal GRC Analyst

About Us:

We're on a mission to make it possible for every person, team, and company to be able to tailor their software to solve any problem and take on any challenge. Computers may be our most powerful tools, but most of us can't build or modify the software we use on them every day. At Notion, we want to change this with focus, design, and craft.

We've been working on this together since 2016, and have customers like Pixar, Mitsubishi, Figma, Plaid, Match Group, and thousands more on this journey with us. Today, we're growing fast and excited for new teammates to join us who are the best at what they do. We're passionate about building a company as diverse and creative as the millions of people Notion reaches worldwide.

Notion is an in person company, and currently requires its employees to come to the office for two Anchor Days (Mondays & Thursdays). 

About The Role:

Millions of people use Notion — and this number is increasing every day. Our users depend on us to deliver a secure, consistent and trustworthy experience, and we value this more than anything. We want to keep building on that trust, while also continuing to amaze our users with the tools they can build in Notion. This is where you come in — partnering with teams across the organization to envision, plan and build Notion's Information Security posture for governance, risk and compliance.

What You'll Achieve:

• Helping build, mature, and scale our Security GRC program based on industry best practices for (some or all of) the following functions including Audit Management, Compliance Management, and Governance.
• Working cross-functionally to retain/achieve SOC2 Type II, ISO 27001, BSI C5, and planning for other new certifications that exhibit assurance internally and externally.
• Tracking, remediating, and reporting on risks while overseeing risk reduction through the GRC system.
• Driving annual and new hire staff training around Security GRC processes while building custom training to support policy enforcement.
• Understanding what it takes to improve Information security policies, procedures, and standards for processes, applications, and infrastructure.

Skills You'll Need to Bring:

•  You have experience working with various stakeholders to review and help improve their current processes through assessments or other tools.
•  You care about business impact and prioritize projects accordingly — you understand the risks and balance the right security investments with the right bottom line outcomes.
•  You communicate nuanced ideas clearly, whether you're explaining compliance requirements in writing or brainstorming in real time. When building consensus, you engage thoughtfully with other perspectives and compromise when needed.
•  For you, work isn't a solo endeavor. You enjoy collaborating cross-functionally to accomplish shared goals, and you care about learning, growing, and helping others to do the same.

Nice to Haves:

• You can explore new security threats, the technology controls, and the tactics required to mitigate those threats.
• You've managed, maintained, and monitored systems like Compliance, Risk, and Security Training focused GRC tools.
• You've been responsible for maintaining continuous controls and participating in audits in relation to our customer facing certifications (like SOC2).
• You have been a partner to sales teams, in customer facing discussions, and can talk to customers about our security posture confidently.
• You have been a partner to HR, engineering and sales team to build proposal for new compliance initiatives as well as build process to enforce continuous compliance checks.
• You have experience leading projects from start to finish across multiple teams and time zones.
