Senior Security GRC Analyst

About Us: Monarch is a powerful, all-in-one personal finance platform designed to help make the complexity of finances feel simple again. Since launching in 2021, we've become the top-recommended personal finance app by users and experts. Our goal? To take the stress out of finances so our members can focus on what truly matters. We are a team of do-ers led by experienced entrepreneurs who are passionate about helping our members reach their financial goals. We're hyper focused on building a product people love, and on finding every edge that helps us do that better. AI is core to how we operate: every person on the team uses it as a partner to sharpen judgment, move faster, and expand what's possible. We're not looking for tool mastery, we're looking for fluency and curiosity. What matters is that AI is part of how you work today and that you're actively raising your own bar on how to use it well. As a fully remote company (even before COVID!), we welcome applicants from almost anywhere. Our team collaborates synchronously mostly from 9 AM – 2 PM PT and embraces asynchronous work to stay connected across time zones. Join us on our mission to transform lives by simplifying money, together. The Role: Monarch is seeking a Senior Security GRC Analyst to join our Security team. Reporting to the Manager of Corporate and Infrastructure Security, you'll own the day-to-day of our compliance program and customer security assurance function while maturing our overall GRC program. This is a builder-operator role that runs on cross-coordination and precision: you'll work daily with People, Legal, IT, Operations, Engineering, and leadership, automating the repetitive work so the program scales as we grow. What You'll Do: Own and mature our compliance framework: continuous controls monitoring, develop security awareness training, evidence currency, audit coordination — collecting and presenting evidence, pulling the right people into auditor calls, and managing findings to closure. Automate GRC — evidence collection, questionnaire responses, risk management workflows, and enforcing compliance — using compliance platforms and AI tooling. Own the third-party risk management (TPRM) program: vendor security assessments, risk tiering, approval workflows, and continuous monitoring. Develop, maintain, and mature our risk management program — risk register, risk assessments, treatment tracking, and reporting to leadership. Write, maintain, and update security policies and procedures, keeping documentation current as our control environment evolves. Own and scale customer assurance end to end — security questionnaires, evidence requests, trust center content, and knowledge base. What You'll Bring: 3-5 years operating and scaling security GRC, compliance, or customer assurance programs in high-growth environments — security GRC specifically. Hands on security knowledge — you have worked on designing and developing the technical controls behind the frameworks (IAM, endpoint, cloud infrastructure) well enough to speak credibly with both auditors and engineers. Meticulous attention to detail — you can sit down and work a sensitive or content heavy document line by line quickly, you deeply care about the nuances. Strong cross-functional coordination — this role lives across People, Legal, IT, Operations, Engineering, and leadership. This will frequently require gathering of people and pushing the needle forward. Hands-on experience writing, maintaining, and updating security policies, standards, and procedures. Hands-on experience with SOC 2 or equivalent and customer assurance (security questionnaires, evidence requests, RFPs). Experience with compliance platforms and continuous controls monitoring (Vanta, Drata, Oneleet, SafeBase, or similar). Experience leveraging AI tools (Claude, ChatGPT) for GRC workflows. Strong written communication for customer-facing security responses and audit documentation. Nice to Haves: Incident response or SOC/security operations background. Auditor background — time on the audit side (e.g., Big 4 or security audit firms) or serving as an internal audit lead. Developed agents and/or tools to assist with GRC related workflows. Experience supporting contract reviews from the security side (e.g., assessing customer redlines against our security posture, legal contracts). Fintech or financial services background. Relevant certifications (CISSP, CISA, CRISC, or equivalent).
