The Opportunity 

We are hiring a Security GRC & Risk Analyst to own the governance, risk, and compliance execution layer across a holding company and portfolio of businesses. This is a build-oriented role with a defined scope: you will be the internal anchor for our SOC 2 Type II audit, NIST CSF remediation roadmap, security policy library, vendor risk program, and client-facing security questionnaires.

You will work directly with the Cybersecurity Manager and a vCISO partner, collaborate with the Data Privacy legal team as a peer on overlapping policy areas, and engage regularly with portfolio company stakeholders. A dedicated internal Data Privacy legal team owns regulatory compliance - GDPR, CCPA, breach notification, and data subject rights. This role owns the technical controls layer: the evidence, the frameworks, the audit coordination, and the vendor risk program.

Join us in this full-time role, based in our Dallas Office at the Link: 2601 Olive Street, Dallas, TX. Be part of a vibrant community where amazing people, data & insights, and perpetual innovation converge to shape the future of digital commerce!

 

About This Role at Momentum

What You'll Do

SOC 2 & NIST CSF Program

  • Own the internal SOC 2 Type II evidence collection process, keeping controls audit-ready year-round. Manage the audit timeline, day-to-day liaison with the external auditor, and remediation finding closure between cycles.

  • Own the NIST CSF remediation roadmap: maintain the gap register, report progress to the VP and vCISO on a defined cadence, and coordinate with portfolio company IT teams to assess and close control gaps.

  • Build and maintain a unified controls library mapping SOC 2 Trust Services Criteria, NIST CSF subcategories, and applicable regulatory requirements.

  • Prepare the organization for bi-annual NIST CSF assessments, ensuring controls are documented and defensible.

Security Policy & AI Governance

  • Operationalize the enterprise-wide information security policy library across the corporate entity and portfolio companies. Inventory gaps against SOC 2, NIST CSF, and applicable regulations; draft, publish, and version-control policies in coordination with the vCISO.

  • Build and maintain annual policy attestation workflows across all employees. Bridge with the Data Privacy legal team on overlapping areas: data classification, retention, and incident notification.

  • Develop and maintain the AI governance framework: tool intake review, data handling risk assessment, and acceptable use policy. Evaluate AI tools proposed across the corporate entity and portfolio companies against security and compliance standards.

  • Own AI-related policy documentation and track emerging regulatory requirements including the EU AI Act and NIST AI RMF.

Risk Management & Vendor Risk

  • Build and maintain a risk register with risk-to-control mapping. Define and document formal risk tolerance and appetite in coordination with the vCISO and leadership.

  • Own the third-party risk management program. Define and implement a tiered due diligence model (critical, high, medium, low) and conduct recurring reviews of critical service providers.

  • Manage vendor risk assessments for tools under evaluation — SASE, CASB, DLP, AI governance tooling, and security platform consolidation. Coordinate with the Data Privacy legal team on vendors with material data processing obligations.

  • Lead operationalization of the GRC platform (OneTrust) for centralized vendor inventory, risk scoring, and lifecycle management.

Client Questionnaires & Audit Support

  • Manage and respond to inbound security questionnaires from portfolio company clients (SIG, CAIQ, and custom formats). Build and maintain a response library to improve turnaround time and accuracy.

  • Coordinate with the Cybersecurity Operations Engineer to validate technical control responses and keep answers current as the security stack evolves.

  • Own ITGC audit controls across identity, endpoint, cloud, and SaaS platforms. Support internal audit responses and evidence requests beyond the annual SOC 2 cycle.

BCP/DR & Security Awareness

  • Own BCP/DR formalization: develop a business continuity charter, coordinate Business Impact Analysis across the corporate entity and portfolio companies, define RTO/RPO for critical operations, and ensure crisis management is embedded in the IR framework.

  • Manage the KnowBe4 security awareness training program: campaign management, phishing simulations, completion tracking, and leadership reporting.

  • Manage the security testing program as the organization transitions from annual to continuous autonomous pentesting. Own vendor relationships, track findings to remediation, and produce executive-ready reporting.

 

Qualifications

Required

  • 5-7 years in GRC, security compliance, risk management, or a closely related security function.

  • Hands-on experience owning or supporting a SOC 2 Type II audit: evidence collection, control mapping, and auditor coordination.

  • Solid working knowledge of NIST CSF: gap assessments, control mapping, and remediation tracking.

  • Demonstrated experience building or formalizing a security policy library, not just updating existing documents.

  • Experience managing third-party and vendor risk assessments using a tiered risk model.

  • Experience responding to client security questionnaires: SIG, CAIQ, or similar formats.

  • Clear understanding of the boundary between GRC and legal/privacy functions. Proven ability to work alongside a legal team without blurring lanes.

  • Strong written communication: you can translate technical controls into clear, accurate language for clients, auditors, and executives.

  • Disciplined project management: you own timelines, follow up without being asked, and don't let things fall through.

  • Active daily use of AI and automation. We operate at 100% internal AI adoption. Non-negotiable.

Preferred Technical Experience

  • GRC platforms: OneTrust, Drata, Vanta, Whistic, or similar.
  • Security awareness platforms: KnowBe4 or equivalent.
  • ITGC working knowledge across identity (Okta), SaaS (Google Workspace), cloud (AWS, GCP, Azure), and endpoint (CrowdStrike).
  • BCP/DR frameworks: BIA methodology, RTO/RPO definition, and tabletop exercise facilitation.
  • AI governance frameworks: NIST AI RMF or EU AI Act.
  • Familiarity with CASB, DLP, or cloud security posture tooling from a compliance and documentation standpoint.
  • Private equity, holding company, or multi-entity compliance environment experience strongly preferred.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
