## Job description

## About the Role

Abnormal AI is looking for a Trust Analyst II to join the Compliance Trust team within Abnormal’s Trust organization. The Trust organization is made up of the Compliance Trust and Customer Trust teams. This role sits on the Compliance Trust team, which owns the company’s GRC (Governance, Risk, and Compliance) programs. The Compliance Trust team drives internal and external audit readiness, manages enterprise and third-party risk, and leads governance across information security, AI, and data to deliver a foundation to maintain company's information security, privacy, and AI compliance certifications...

This role owns Abnormal's governance and policy program, chairing and running the company's governance committees, including AI Governance, Data Governance, Security Governance, and other governance programs as they are implemented. Additionally this role will hold end-to-end ownership of policy management, from drafting through stakeholder acknowledgment and management of the company’s Policy Center. Governance and policy ownership make up the majority of this role's scope. The remainder of the role will be a key stakeholder in risk management operations, including managing the risk register, performing risk assessments, and risk exception administration. Lastly, this role will also include general compliance support such as audit readiness, control evaluation, and issue remediation.

The ideal candidate will have the mindset of an auditor with keen attention to detail, possess exceptional skills in project management, be a good communicator who excels at explaining complex technology to diverse audiences in a way that fosters understanding and ownership, has strong collaboration and business sense, and an adept awareness of our customers' requirements of Abnormal as a leading cybersecurity SaaS provider.

## Who You Are

- Proven security experience in an audit or advisory capacity
- Analytical thinker who exercises good business judgment and resolves ambiguous or judgment call questions without direction
- Resolves multi-framework or complex audit questions where the path isn't obvious, and designs an approach when standard procedure falls short and brings a recommendation to the table, not just a problem, and knows when to loop in Legal or Security to get it right
- Confidence and willingness to ask questions, raise issues, and concerns in a timely manner
- Comfortable owning and running cross-functional governance committees (e.g., AI Governance, Data Governance, Security Governance), setting agendas, driving decisions, and following through on action items without needing to be chased
- Experienced managing a policy program end to end. Authoring, revising, and defending policy positions to stakeholders, not just administering logistics
- High attention to detail, process, and organization with strong project management skills to ensure accountability and results
- Acts as a trusted partner to other Abnormal teams and external auditors on their domain, leading structured discussions grounded in evidence rather than assumption, and represents the function credibly in auditor-facing settings
- Comfortable interpreting requirements in business context rather than taking a control requirement at face value, and anticipating how upstream changes affect compliance posture
- Ability to adapt to change, including evolving business and technical environments, and manage multiple priorities while meeting deadlines in a fast-paced environment
- Team player, collaborative work style
- Self-motivated and able to work efficiently with minimal oversight/direction
- Owns outcomes rather than activity — accountable for a compliance domain end to end, including audit outcomes and remediation tracking

- Drive internal control effectiveness through rigorous internal control monitoring, implementing control enhancements, and providing thought leadership on control design, operations, and supporting processes and policies.
- Perform compliance readiness assessments and provide updates, recommendations, and roadmap to senior management both within Security and to our business partners.
- Advise, educate, and train process and control owners with the preparation and ongoing maintenance of controls and control documentation (e.g., policies, procedures, narratives, and matrices) to better understand the security controls framework and their responsibilities.
- Recommend, develop, and manage the company's risk register, including the definition and reporting on key risk indicators (KRIs) and key performance indicators (KPIs).
- Conduct regular risk assessments and work with relevant departments to identify, evaluate, and mitigate risks across the organization.
- Advise, educate, and train risk owners with the identification, assessment, mitigation, and monitoring of risks to better understand the risk management process and their responsibilities.
- Proactively identify gaps or conflicts in existing policies and processes and work to develop solutions with internal business partners.
- Drive remediation and risk mitigation activities, including root cause analysis and owning the design, tracking, and progress of action plans across compliance, policy, or process gap remediation activities and risk mitigation activities in partnership with internal business partners.
