GRC Operations Specialist

About The Role

We are looking for a passionate and experienced Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) operations specialist to contribute to our company's efforts in making Fireblocks the most secure and trusted provider of digital asset management solutions. This role is critical in driving our day-to-day GRC programs, ensuring they are well maintained, run according to schedule, and align with our business needs.

As the GRC operations specialist, you will oversee the successful implementation and progress of GRC programs, practices, and projects, while collaborating with multiple cross-functional teams within the security department and outside of it. This role will focus on the GRC's Third Party Risk Management (TPRM) and Employee Awareness programs, while also contributing to additional team activities and duties.

We're looking for someone who goes beyond traditional GRC operations. Hands-on, daily use of AI tools, from chatbot-assisted research and document creation to AI-assisted development, is a core part of how this role operates, not a nice-to-have. This is a driver of change and innovation, not just an operational function.
