About Bumble
At Bumble, we’re building secure, AI-driven systems that empower connection and trust globally. Security and privacy are at the heart of that mission.
We’re seeking a Lead Security GRC Program Manager to lead our PCI, SOX, ITGC, and GDPR programs, driving audit excellence, automation maturity, and cross-functional compliance alignment across Bumble’s products and infrastructure.
This role is ideal for someone who thrives in fast-moving environments and knows how to transform compliance from a checkpoint into a scalable, automated enabler of trust.
Please note: We are unable to offer Visa transfers or Visa sponsorship
What You’ll Do
- Own Bumble’s Core Compliance Programs:
- Lead end-to-end management of PCI, SOX, ITGC, and GDPR frameworks — from annual audit planning through evidence collection, remediation, and executive reporting.
- Drive Audit Efficiency & Automation:
- Partner with Security Engineering, Finance IT, and Product teams to automate evidence workflows, control attestations, and testing pipelines via tools such as Drata, Vanta, or ServiceNow GRC.
- Lead SOX & ITGC Program Delivery:
- Co-own SOX ITGC compliance with Finance IT, directly manage external audit partners, and maintain strong control hygiene across identity, change management, and infrastructure layers.
- Oversee PCI Compliance Operations:
- Maintain Bumble’s PCI program scope, manage annual assessments, and coordinate with payments and infrastructure teams to ensure ongoing adherence and minimal audit fatigue.
- Steward GDPR Alignment:
- Partner with Legal, Privacy, and Data Engineering to operationalize GDPR requirements, ensuring data protection principles and privacy-by-design controls are consistently validated.
- Report Risk & Remediation Metrics:
- Build dashboards and KPI reports that provide visibility into audit readiness, control performance, and remediation progress for executive stakeholders.
Must-Haves
- Program Leadership Experience:
- 6+ years of experience in Security GRC, audit, or compliance within a cloud-native or technology-driven environment.
- Proven ownership of PCI, SOX, ITGC, and GDPR compliance programs — from planning through audit closure.
- Demonstrated success driving measurable improvements in audit efficiency, control maturity, or automation adoption.
- Technical Acumen:
- Strong working knowledge of cloud architectures, including hands-on experience operating in GCP environments. Experience with AWS is a plus. Candidates should also have a strong grasp of common ITGC control areas, including access management, change management, and incident response.
- Experience integrating GRC tools with engineering systems (e.g., CI/CD pipelines, Jira, Slack, or identity platforms like Okta).
- Ability to design or refine control automation workflows and collaborate with engineers on technical control implementation.
- Practical understanding of data flow mapping and system-of-record validation to support GDPR evidence and privacy controls.
- Execution & Communication:
- Track record of leading multi-stakeholder audits (Finance, Legal, Engineering, Privacy) and aligning diverse teams on deadlines and deliverables.
- Skilled at presenting complex audit or risk topics to executive leadership using concise, data-driven insights.
- Capable of drafting clear, audit-ready documentation and control narratives without excessive bureaucracy.
- Mindset & Operating Style:
- Automation-first: Seeks opportunities to replace manual audit processes with system-driven controls.
- Business-aligned: Understands how to balance compliance requirements with engineering velocity.
- Outcome-driven: Measures success through reduced audit fatigue, improved evidence hygiene, and faster remediation cycles.
- Collaborative: Builds trust with auditors and internal stakeholders through transparency and consistency.
Nice-to-Haves
- Hands-on experience automating evidence collection or audit testing workflows.
- Familiarity with data protection impact assessments (DPIAs) and GDPR privacy operations.
- Experience building or maintaining risk registers, executive dashboards, or compliance OKRs/KPIs.
- Certifications such as CISA, CISM, CISSP, CRISC, or ISO Lead Auditor.
- Background in payments, fintech, or regulated SaaS environments.
