About the role

The GRC Lead owns nesto's governance, risk, and compliance program end-to-end. We've built strong foundations and automated much of our compliance workflow; your role is to elevate it to world-class execution. You'll optimize our automated systems, refine audit readiness processes, enhance policy governance rigor, strengthen risk management discipline, and scale vendor assessment workflows. You're taking a program that works and making it exceptional, resilient, and repeatable.

What you'd be accomplishing in that role :

• Own Security policy governance and control mapping across nesto's compliance frameworks (SOC 1/2, ISO 27001, and applicable regulatory frameworks).
• Mature our automated compliance program to scale sustainably with nesto's growth. Optimize our GRC platform, automation tools for self-service workflows, and progressively eliminate manual audit prep.
• Elevate nesto's external audit program while continuously expanding scope as the business scales.
• Evolve nesto's AI governance framework in collaboration with Engineering, and Compliance teams from foundational policies to enterprise-grade controls that enable rapid, safe AI feature deployment and internal usage.
• Transform risk management into a strategic business advisor. Collaborate with business unit leaders to evolve our risk narratives, connect technical findings to business impact, and enable leadership to make informed trade-offs with confidence.
• Scale vendor and client security assessments. Evolve intake workflows, mature questionnaire automation, and strengthen how we communicate security posture to enterprise prospects and customers.
• Lead and develop a GRC team that raises the bar on technical excellence, deepens capability in governance and risk disciplines, and drives accountability across initiatives.
• Strengthen organizational resilience through evolved, regularly tested Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery frameworks that keep nesto operationally confident during crisis.

What We’re Looking For

• 10+ years of GRC, audit, risk management, or compliance experience in regulated industries (financial services, SaaS, healthcare)
• Deep experience across SOC1, SOC2, NIST frameworks and audits.
• Strong knowledge of risk assessment methodologies and compliance operations.
• Hands-on experience with GRC automation platforms.
• Excellent project management, stakeholder engagement, and cross-functional collaboration skills
• Strong writing skills; ability to communicate policy and control concepts clearly to technical and non-technical audiences
• Ability to influence leadership through evidence-based risk narratives and business-aligned insights
• **English is required for writing and documentation. French speaking and reading is a strong plus.*

The Reward

• The A-Team: Work alongside high-performing talent in the industry.
• Accelerated Growth: The slope of your learning curve here will be vertical. You will touch more production systems in one year than you would in five years at a bank.
• Top-Tier Coverage: Premium benefits plan fully paid by nesto, including comprehensive insurance and unlimited access to telemedicine and mental health services for you and your family.
• Rest & Recharge: 4 weeks of vacation to ensure you stay at peak performance.
• Best-in-Class Tools: Access to the resources and tech you need to execute without friction.
• Working framework: The environment that makes you productive and enables teamwork (Hybrid model).
• Diversity and Inclusion

At nesto, we believe that creativity and collaboration are the result of a diverse team. We are committed to fostering a culture of diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging, and we strongly encourage women, people of color, LGBTQIA+ individuals, and individuals with disabilities to apply.
