About The Role: YipitData is looking for a GRC Analyst who likes asking good questions, finding the gaps others miss, and turning complicated requirements into work people can actually complete. You will help us answer some important questions: Are our security controls working the way we say they are? Can we prove it? Where are we taking on risk? What needs to change as our products, technology, and use of AI continue to grow? Your work will span audits, risk assessments, control testing, vendor reviews, customer questionnaires, policies, and compliance programs. You will partner with teams across Security, IT, Engineering, Legal, Finance, and People to understand how the business operates, identify where improvements are needed, and keep the work moving through completion. This is not a role where success means uploading documents to an audit platform. We want someone who is curious enough to understand the evidence, thoughtful enough to challenge it when it does not make sense, and organized enough to make sure nothing important gets lost in the follow-up. This is a remote-friendly opportunity that can sit in NYC (where our headquarters is located), one of our office hubs, or anywhere else in the US. However, depending upon where the remote work is performed, income could be subject to New York State tax withholding. The work hours are flexible on this team, but most employees work East Coast hours. As a GRC Analyst You Will: • Take ownership of GRC workstreams and drive them from the initial request through evidence collection, testing, remediation, and completion • Help keep YipitData audit-ready throughout the year • Test security controls and determine whether they are actually working, rather than simply confirming that a document exists • Conduct risk assessments, identify meaningful gaps, and help teams develop remediation plans that are realistic and effective • Map controls a
