Role Overview

About the Role:

We are seeking a highly experienced Cybersecurity GRC Lead to drive governance, risk, and compliance initiatives within a regulated technology environment. This role focuses on continuous control monitoring, audit readiness, and cross-functional coordination to ensure cybersecurity compliance across products, systems, and operations.

This is a strategic leadership role centered on governance and oversight—not hands-on technical execution. You will work closely with Engineering, IT, Security, Quality, and Regulatory teams to ensure all cybersecurity requirements are properly tracked, executed, and documented.

Key Responsibilities:

Governance & Program Oversight

• Own and manage the cybersecurity GRC program, including control schedules and compliance activities

• Maintain policies, procedures, and control documentation

• Define roles, responsibilities, and escalation paths across teams

• Provide regular reporting on KPIs, KRIs, and risk posture to leadership

Risk Management & Compliance

• Track cybersecurity requirements from internal, customer, and regulatory sources

• Manage cybersecurity risk assessments and remediation tracking

• Maintain and update the risk register

Cross-Functional Coordination & Audit Readiness

• Act as the central point of coordination across Engineering, IT, Security, Quality, and Regulatory teams

• Support audit and inspection readiness by ensuring all required artifacts are current and accessible

• Coordinate responses to security questionnaires, audits, and customer requests

Control Assurance

• Oversee execution of recurring controls such as access reviews, vulnerability scans, and patch management

• Ensure proper tracking of remediation activities and SLA adherence

• Coordinate supplier and third-party security requirements

Continuous Improvement

• Drive improvements in GRC processes, reporting, and documentation

• Enhance dashboards, templates, and evidence tracking systems

Required Qualifications:

• 5+ years of experience in cybersecurity, GRC, or risk management within regulated environments

• Strong experience in healthcare, medical devices, life sciences, or similar regulated industries

• Deep understanding of frameworks such as NIST, IEC standards, and regulatory expectations

• Proven ability to lead cross-functional initiatives without direct authority

• Experience supporting audits, inspections, and customer security assessments

• Strong analytical, communication, and stakeholder management skills

• Bachelor’s degree in Cybersecurity, Computer Science, Engineering, or related field

Compensation & Benefits:

• Base Salary: $118,500 – $148,100

• 10% annual bonus

• Comprehensive benefits package

• Relocation assistance available (up to $10,000)
