Company Overview:
At Secfix, we’re at the forefront of automating security compliance in Europe. We help companies get and stay ISO 27001, GDPR, TISAX, and SOC 2 fast and easy and reduce hundreds of hours of manual work.
Secfix is run by a 100% remote team with hubs in Munich, Berlin and London. We’re a high-performing team looking for passionate, execution-focused, owners to help us automate security and compliance for modern companies and become the European compliance automation leader.
We’ve just raised our $12M Series A and are backed by top VCs, including Alstin Capital, Neosfer (Commerzbank), and Bayern Capital.
About The Role:
We're hiring a GRC Specialist (Governance Risk and Compliance) to strengthen our compliance function as Secfix scales into more frameworks, mid-market customers, and a growing compliance team. This role sits at the intersection of compliance delivery, content, and team support. You'll own the compliance knowledge that lives inside our platform, run internal audits, support our customer success team, and act as the compliance voice for customers, auditors, and product. You'll work closely with our co-founder & CISO and our CS Lead. This is a high-impact role with real influence on how Secfix delivers compliance: both as a service to customers and as content inside our app.
What You'll Do:
- Build and maintain compliance frameworks in the Secfix platform (ISO 27001, TISAX, SOC 2, GDPR, NIS 2, DORA, ISO 27017/27018, ISO 42001, C5, and more as we expand)
- Own internal audits for our customers end to end, from kickoff through to the final report they take into their external audit
- Keep several audits moving at once and keep every one on schedule
- Implement ISO 27001 and adjacent frameworks end-to-end for customers
- Own the quality of compliance content in the platform (including creating policies, automated checks, evidence templates, Compliance enable playbooks for our CSMs, security awareness trainings and more)
- Close framework gaps and incorporate auditor feedback into both team practice and platform improvements
- Partner with product and engineering to translate compliance gaps into structured product work
- Collaborate closely with CS, Product, and Founders to align compliance, customer, and roadmap priorities
- Deepen relationships with our existing certification partners and train auditors on the Secfix platform so they can confidently use it during customer audits
