If you want predictability or narrow scope, this won’t be your place. If you want to help build the future of identity with a team that holds a high bar for itself — keep reading.

OVERVIEW

Socure is seeking an Analyst, GRC – Public Sector to own the hands-on execution of the company’s governance, risk, and compliance operations for its public sector business. Reporting to the Director of GRC – Public Sector, this role is responsible day-to-day for running FedRAMP/GovRAMP continuous monitoring, building and maintaining the POA&M and compliance trackers that keep the program audit-ready, and coordinating access reviews, vulnerability remediation, and evidence collection with Security, Engineering, IT, DevOps, Product, Legal, and other teams. As the Analyst builds fluency in these operational fundamentals, the role grows to include drafting customer-facing compliance and RFP response content that makes Socure’s security posture compelling to public sector buyers, and pursuing automation-first, system-driven improvements, including machine-readable formats like OSCAL and AI-enabled workflows, that reduce manual effort and challenge how the team has traditionally done this work.

and the ability to write persuasively for a customer audience — distinct from writing that is merely compliance-accurate.

• Ability to adapt to changing requirements

• Must be a U.S. Person (U.S. Citizens or U.S. Permanent Residents) residing in the United States and be able to obtain a U.S. OPM NACI clearance.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Experience in regulated industries (e.g., financial services, healthcare) and knowledge of privacy and compliance frameworks such as GDPR, CCPA, and key NIST standards.
• Professional certifications preferred (CISSP, CISM, CISA, IAPP).
• Proven hands-on contribution to certification and compliance initiatives (FedRAMP, GovRAMP, NIST 800-63/171).
• Skilled in continuous monitoring, vulnerability management, policy updates, and audit coordination across cross-functional teams. Also valued: a demonstrated track record of identifying and closing process gaps proactively, without waiting for direction.
• Strong understanding of evolving cybersecurity standards and digital identity regulations, with the ability to translate them into practical risk and compliance improvements.
