Lead GRC Program Manager

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.
