About The Role

Cockroach Labs is hiring a Compliance and Risk Analyst to support our Compliance Manager. This is a hands-on role in which you’ll be interfacing directly with our operational and internal security teams, and third party auditors.

In this role, you’ll have an opportunity to make a significant impact by providing support to our compliance program and scale up our risk management efforts as our customer base grows.

You Will

• Support our existing information security compliance program.
• Review and provide insights on our processes for managing security and compliance policies.
• Support compliance policies and processes for data security and privacy (such as SOC2, GDPR, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, and HIPAA).
• Collaborate with internal teams to address pre-sales security and compliance questionnaires and attract customers by upholding modern compliance programs.
• Support Cockroach Labs’ risk management program.
• Work with external auditors and coordinate audits internally.
• Monitor controls and address violations and gaps.
• Coordinate compliance work streams across all functional areas of Cockroach Labs.

The Expectations

In the first month, you will focus on learning about CockroachDB technology, understanding the fundamentals of how CockroachDB and CockroachCloud work and how our customers use them. You’ll also become familiar with the different departments within the company and how they function relative to our compliance efforts. You’ll learn about our current security processes and risk management practices.

In your second month, you will become an integrated member of our security and compliance team and start owning some of the compliance work that is in progress. You will start to take ownership of items on our planned roadmap and begin identifying areas of improvement.

By the end of your third month you will be a fully-fledged member of the team and will own all ongoing compliance work. You will be able to interface directly with customers when necessary and own the execution of all compliance and risk management activities. You will also be able to support developed plans to implement the next planned compliance certification.

You Have

• Broad familiarity with compliance frameworks such as SOC 2, GDPR, PCI-DSS, HIPAA, and ISO 27001.
• An understanding of security technologies such as MDM, anti-virus, and intrusion detection systems (IDS) and how they can be deployed in a cloud infrastructure company.
• Previous experience working in a SaaS software or hosted infrastructure environment.
• Some experience interfacing with enterprise customers and answering customer security questionnaires in a compliance role.
• Some experience with risk management, including third party risk and cyber risk management.
• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail.
