Senior GRC Consultant - Standard Frameworks

Own delivery for standard-framework engagements: ISO 27001 (implementation & surveillance), SOC 2 Type I/II readiness, GDPR, PCI DSS compliance programs, gap assessments, control/check mapping, internal audits, policy reviews, audit readiness support.

Run multiple concurrent client engagements to a consistent quality bar without close supervision.

Maintain and evolve templates, control-mapping libraries, workshop agendas, and QA rubrics for standard frameworks; keep them current as frameworks revise (ISO 27001:2022 transition-type updates, SOC 2 trust criteria changes, GDPR enforcement guidance).

Extend the library opportunistically to adjacent frameworks (HIPAA, PCI DSS, ISO 42001) as demand grows.

Define pricing/packaging for standard-framework engagements (fixed-fee tiers, retainer options).

Own utilization, margin, and delivery forecasting for your own engagement book.

Partner with Sales/SE/CS to attach and renew standard-framework services; support deal conversion where technical validation is needed.

Build and maintain AI-assisted playbooks for standard frameworks (gap assessment, control mapping, internal audit checklists).

Define structured input forms/checklists so juniors or AI-assisted workflows produce consistent first-draft output.

Set QA guardrails: mandatory source inputs, validation steps, human approval gates.

Establish acceptance criteria and review checkpoints for deliverables.

Flag scope creep early; escalate ambiguous liability questions rather than absorbing them silently.

5+ years in GRC/security consulting or in-house compliance program ownership.

Hands-on delivery track record across ISO 27001, SOC 2, and GDPR at minimum.

Comfortable running several concurrent client engagements.

Deep: ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type I/II, GDPR.

Can own pricing/packaging, margin, and utilization for their own book without a manager doing it for them.
