Squarespace is looking for a GRC Analyst to operate and continuously improve our governance, risk, and compliance programs within the Security organization. Our GRC team maintains audit readiness and supports the compliance frameworks — SOX, SOC 2, PCI DSS, NIST, and more — that protect Squarespace and the millions of customers who depend on us. We are a collaborative, detail-oriented team that moves deliberately and takes ownership of outcomes. You will work closely with Engineering, Legal, Finance, Product, and external auditors.

Who We're Looking For • 3+ years of experience in GRC, IT audit, security compliance, or privacy compliance, with demonstrated ability to manage audit activities end to end. • Proven experience leading or supporting complex compliance programs across frameworks such as SOX, SOC 1/2, PCI, NIST, or ISO — including scoping, control testing, issue management, and reporting. • Experience evaluating IT controls and translating requirements into clear, actionable expectations for both technical and non-technical teams. • Experience supporting vendor risk programs, including security due diligence and review of independent assurance reports. • Working knowledge of SaaS and cloud environments. • Experience using GRC or workflow platforms to maintain accurate records and drive repeatable processes.
