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, moving away from point-in-time audits and risk scores to a continuously measured heartbeat that drives prioritization and high-visibility, high-impact decisions.
This role is based in our New York office and requires a hybrid schedule with in-person attendance twice a week.
As an Engineer III, Security and Compliance, you're the technical bridge between GRC and the rest of the business. You're comfortable sitting in a room with engineering and talking architecture some days, and on other days, feeling confident on a customer call and translating security into 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. As important as the automation itself is, it's also about 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 work, how we manage our infrastructure and internal systems, and where our security controls live operationally.
