The Problems You'll Solve

At Carta, our employees set out on a mission to unlock the power of equity ownership for more people in more places. We believe that the problems we solve today unlock the opportunities of tomorrow.

As a GRC Analyst, you'll work to assess regulatory requirements and accordingly establish governance and risk frameworks. You will build and run security compliance programs to improve risk and compliance metrics. You will also build and manage policies and standards.

Here are some problems we'd love for you to help us solve:

  • Build and manage information security compliance program aligned with business objectives

  • Drive strong risk management practices, corporate resiliency, and regulatory compliance activities
  • Review contracts with an information security lens

The Team You'll Work With

You will be part of a security-minded team that believes in progress over perfection and where security culture and mindset is key. Our team is rethinking how Risk Governance can be accomplished in innovative ways. We do not focus on building processes, but instead how to solve business problems while minimizing and managing risk exposure for Carta.
