About the Team
Security Trust & Risk owns governance risk compliance vendor & customer assurance and business continuity across Anaplan's ecosystem. This role is a genuine ground-floor opportunity. You'll help build the technical backbone that lets GRC operate as an engineering discipline pivoting away from point in time audits and risk scores into a continuously measured heartbeat driving prioritization and high visibility and even higher impact decisions.
Your Role
As a Senior GRC Engineer based in the UK you're the technical bridge between GRC and the rest of the business with a natural focus on UK/EU regulatory and market-access requirements. You're comfortable sitting in a room with engineering and talking architecture on some days and on other days feeling confident on a call with a customer and translating security in practice to build trust. Your north star is compliance by design instead of audits being a point-in-time scramble to assemble evidence they should be a natural byproduct of controls monitoring and processes that run continuously year-round.
A core part of that is thinking in terms of build once apply to many using our cross-framework control crosswalk to identify where requirements across our certified standards including ISO 27001 27017 27018 27701 and 42001 SOC 1/2 Type 2 Cyber Essentials ENS and TX-RAMP genuinely overlap so our partners build to a single common control instead of a different bespoke solution for every certification. Just as important as the automation itself is making the reasoning behind it visible helping partners across the business understand the why behind a given control whether it traces back to a compliance obligation a customer request or an emerging threat not just the what. Over time you'll develop genuine fluency in how the Anaplan product and platform actually work how our infrastructure and internal systems are managed and where our security controls live operationally.
Key Responsibilities
Act as a technical GRC partner to technical and non-technical teams translating compliance governance and risk requirements into implementation details and engaging credibly in architecture/design discussions

Use the cross-framework control crosswalk to identify synergies across regulatory requirements so engineers build one common solution instead of duplicating effort per certification

Support customer-facing security/compliance conversations requiring deeper technical context (platform architecture control implementation how obligations are met)

Build the processes scripts workflows and tooling that embed controls into daily operations and design automation that keeps
