1086155 Location: United States - Remote, Flex, or Office About the Role HubSpot is seeking a Manager, Security GRC on our Compliance Onboarding & Readiness team. This role is a critical part of how HubSpot approaches trust, security, and governance. Instead of focusing on reactive audit defense, our team acts as a proactive design and engineering partner. We shift compliance engineering "left" to ensure our rapidly expanding product surface, including usage-based billing systems, advanced AI capabilities, and scaling infrastructure, is fundamentally secure by design and audit-ready. This is a hands-on, "player-coach" role. Reporting directly to the Senior Manager, you will lead and mentor a dedicated team of GRC professionals, while also acting as a high-impact individual contributor (IC). You are someone who loves to get into the weeds: executing proactive control designs, performing technical walkthroughs, mapping controls to complex cloud environments, and directly authoring robust control documentation alongside your team. You will drive the day-to-day operationalization of our High-Risk Control Testing and Compliance Onboarding charters, moving HubSpot away from point-in-time evidence gathering and toward continuous compliance automated by telemetry. What You’ll Do Be an Active Player-Coach & Lead the Team • Direct People Management: Lead, develop, and mentor a talented sub-team of GRC professionals. Evolve their capabilities in risk-based judgment and technical engineering partnership. • Hands-on Execution (IC Work): Actively lead by example. You will personally conduct high-impact control walkthroughs, draft complex process narratives, design baseline control mappings for new architectures, and directly test our most critical systems. • Stabilization & Backlog Burnout: Guide and support the team through its immediate operational maturity phases, and partnering cross-functionally to systematically burn down the legacy issues backlog. Operationalize the Compliance "Front Door" • Shift Compliance Left: Manage and scale our centralized compliance onboarding intake process. Partner early with Product, Engineering, and FinOps during the design and architecture stages (pre-coding) to embed security and compliance controls before production release. • Minimize Friction: Maintain predictable, frictionless compliance paths for engineering stakeholders so compliance acts as an operational accelerator rather than a bottleneck. Drive High-Risk Control Testing & Continuous Assurance • Execute Deep-Dive Testing: Personally lead and oversee rigorous internal testing of HubSpot’s highest-risk controls, prioritizing Identity and Access Management (IAM), privileged access, data protection, change management, and AI governance. • Continuous Monitoring Telemetry: Partner to design and build automated dashboards, transitioning the team’s evidence collection from manual spreadsheets to continuous data streams. • Define Early-Warning Signals: Build out and monitor key control health indicators (OKIs/PKIs) to identify and remediate control degradation long before audit windows open. Foster Collaborative Partnerships & Seamless Hand-offs • Proactive Pre-Audit Alignment: Lead proactive reviews to validate control design, helping system owners address gaps collaboratively before audit cycles begin. • Frictionless Partner Handoffs: Partner deeply with our Compliance Audit Execution team to transition ready, thoroughly vetted control packages for external testing, replacing traditional siloed boundaries with smooth, cooperative handoffs. • Shared Posture Insights: Actively feed readiness metrics and testing signals into the broader Security Governance and Risk ecosystem to build a unified, transparent view of security health across HubSpot. What We’re Looking For Required Experience & Technical Rigor • Demonstrated experience in Security GRC, IT Compliance, or IT Audit, ideally within a fast-paced, public SaaS environment. • Hands-On Player-Coach Leadership: Experience managing, mentoring, or leading GRC professionals, combined with a strong desire and demonstrated ability to execute as an individual contributor. You must love rolling up your sleeves to build. • Deep Control Expertise: Strong understanding of SOX 404 control design, risk-based scoping, testing, and proactive issue management within modern engineering environments (AWS, microservices, CI/CD pipelines). • First-Principles Architect Mindset: You look at compliance as a systems-engineering challenge, not a checklist. You have experience implementing controls that are automated, scalable, and lightweight for developers. • Exceptional Communication & HubSpot Culture Fit: You are empathetic, remarkably clear, and direct. You can explain complex regulatory "whys" to engineering leaders. Preferred Experience • Familiarity with emerging technology frameworks, specifically AI governance structures (such as ISO 42001) alongside traditional frameworks (SOC 1/2, ISO 27001, NIST). • Experience supporting product transitions to usage-based billing or microservices-based financial data pipelines. • Professional certifications such as CISA, CRISC, CISSP, or equivalent experience. Why HubSpot At HubSpot, security is a core value. We believe that to "Grow Better," we must protect the operational and financial integrity of our platform with airtight, auditor-proof logic—while ensuring our teams can move fast and innovate with confidence. You’ll be joining a highly collaborative, deeply supportive GRC organization that treats governance as a modern product rather than a bureaucratic constraint. If you are inspired to build a secure-by-design compliance ecosystem at scale, we’d love to talk to you!
