Risk and Compliance Lead at Replit | LAYIQ

Own the end-to-end certification roadmap (SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, and future frameworks like ISO 42001) including scoping, gap assessments, remediation, and audit execution
Manage relationships with external auditors and drive the annual audit calendar so certifications renew without last-minute scrambles
Own and maintain the company's master security risk register including risk identification, scoring methodology, treatment plans, and residual risk reporting
Build and maintain continuous compliance monitoring so control status reflects real-time state rather than point-in-time snapshots
Own the core audit artifacts that back every certification including ISMS documentation, Statements of Applicability, risk assessments, and potentially FedRAMP System Security Plans (SSPs)
Run regular audits and readiness assessments, and track remediation of findings and control gaps to closure
Support GDPR and broader privacy compliance alongside the Legal/Privacy team, without owning the legal interpretation of requirements
Partner with the GRC Engineer to define what evidence collection and control monitoring should be automated versus manually reviewed
Track and report on compliance posture and audit findings to security leadership
Required Skills & Experience
8+ years in security compliance, IT audit, or GRC roles, with direct ownership of at least one SOC 2 and/or ISO 27001 certification cycle
Working knowledge of common frameworks (SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST CSF) and how to map controls across them
Hands-on experience authoring or substantially maintaining an ISMS, SSP, or equivalent audit-facing documentation set and not just filling out a template
Experience owning a formal risk register including risk identification, scoring methodology, treatment plans, and residual risk reporting to leadership
Experience with GRC/compliance automation platforms (e.g., Anecdotes, Vanta, Drata, etc.) and continuous control monitoring
Experience working directly with external auditors and managing an audit end to end
Comfortable reading technical control evidence and having detailed conversations with engineers about how systems actually work
Working familiarity with GDPR/privacy fundamentals sufficient to partner effectively with a legal team
Bonus Qualifications
Experience scoping or pursuing ISO 42001 or other AI governance frameworks
Familiarity with FedRAMP or other government compliance regimes
Background in a developer tools, platform, or AI/ML product company
