- Manage annual audit deliverables, write treatment plans, and track completion across teams
- Answer customer compliance inquiries and maintain customer-facing security and compliance documentation
What you need
- 3+ years supporting the audit lifecycle for SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, or HIPAA in a cloud-based environment
- Applied security or privacy controls to AI systems or AI vendors, such as model access, data handling, or third-party risk review
