GRC Automation Analyst

Superhuman offers a dynamic hybrid working model for this role. This flexible approach gives team members the best of both worlds: plenty of focus time along with in-person collaboration that helps foster trust, innovation, and a strong team culture.

Superhuman is an AI productivity suite that makes AI work for everyone. Over 40 million people rely on it daily to get work done. A recognized leader in productivity tools, Superhuman is the maker of popular products including Docs, Fathom, Go, GPTZero, Grammarly, and Mail. The newest product, Superhuman Go, builds on Grammarly’s ability to deliver help everywhere people work. It lets anyone build proactive agents that act as teammates across more than 1 million apps and websites, without changing how they work. Learn more at superhuman.com.

We’ve consolidated separate compliance programs (Grammarly, Coda, Superhuman Mail, and Superhuman Go) into a single program. We’re rapidly replacing the point-in-time approaches with continuous, automated, code-defined evidence, and this role continues to build on that.

The job is to automate your way out of the manual toil: our GRC automation platform is the evidence-automation backbone, agentic systems (Claude Code and similar) are the force multiplier, and GitHub is where the program lives as code. If your instinct on seeing a manual control-testing process is to turn it into a repeatable, automated pipeline, this role is for you.

What You Will Do:

• Automate evidence collection. Configure and operate the GRC automation platform: wire up data sources, build evidence plugins, scope data sets, author analysis rules, and stand up continuous monitoring operations, replacing screenshot-and-upload workflows with automated collectors mapped to controls.

• Automate GRC workflows and run compliance as code. Use Claude Code (or similar) and MCPs for evidence requests, control mapping, gap analysis, vendor reviews, and reporting; build and curate the team’s agent harness; and manage policies, control definitions, and automation in GitHub through branches, pull requests, and review.

• Design control testing and drive remediation. Instrument testing across SOC 2, ISO 27001, ISO 27017/27018, ISO 27701, PCI DSS, and ISO 42001 for continuous assurance rather than point-in-time snapshots, and work with control owners and engineering to close gaps with automated evidence behind every finding.

What Ramping Up Looks Like:

You will be configuring our GRC automation platform, not just clicking through it, within your first few weeks. In your first 90 days, we’d expect you to learn the platform configuration, ship your first automated evidence collectors, retire a batch of manual screenshot evidence, and get at least one agent-assisted workflow running end-to-end.

Why This Role:

• You’ll design the automation architecture for compliance across four products, rather than maintaining an existing checklist.

• You get the mandate and the tooling to retire manual evidence collection: a GRC automation platform, agentic AI, and compliance-as-code.

• We actually run LLMs and AI agents in production GRC workflows today. This is how the team operates day-to-day.

• Small team, high ownership, and a direct line to Legal and Engineering leadership. You’ll shape the program, not just sustain it.

• 5+ years in compliance, GRC, or IT audit, hands-on with the frameworks above (SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, and adjacent).

• 1+ year using agentic AI systems (Claude Code, Codex, etc.) to do real compliance work, with automation you have delivered, not just prototypes.

• Comfortable in GitHub: repos, branches, pull requests, and code review. CI/CD familiarity is a strong plus.

• Fast on new tooling. You can pick up a GRC automation platform and be productive in weeks, configuring it directly rather than relying on others to do so.

• Deep GRC fluency: control design, evidence, risk, and how auditors actually think.

• Working knowledge of cloud (AWS/Azure/GCP): IAM, compute, storage, networking, and security controls, because that’s where the evidence lives.

• Systems thinker who prefers to automate repetitive manual work rather than repeat it.

• Has a demonstrated ability to work independently with minimal guidance, proactively manages tasks and priorities across multiple projects, analyzes and executes work efficiently, collaborates effectively with cross-functional teams, and thrives in fast-paced, results-driven environments.

Nice to Have:

• Reads APIs, JSON, and logs comfortably; scripting (Python, bash, TypeScript).

• Prior hands-on experience with a GRC automation platform (Vanta, Drata, or similar).

• Scripting/light coding and API integration experience.

• Certifications such as CISA, CISSP, ISO 27001 Lead Auditor, or similar.

• AI governance, AI risk management, or ISO 42001 exposure.

• Background in a technology, SaaS, or engineering-adjacent environment.

• Professional growth: We believe that autonomy and trust are key to empowering our team members to do their best, most innovative work in a way that aligns with their interests, talents, and well-being. We also support professional development and advancement with training, coaching, and regular feedback.

• A connected team: Superhuman builds a product that helps people connect, and we apply this mindset to our own team. Our remote-first hybrid model enables a highly collaborative culture supported by our values. We work to foster belonging among team members in a variety of ways. This includes our employee resource groups, Superhuman Circles, which promote connection among those with shared identities including BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ team members, women, and parents. We also celebrate our colleagues and accomplishments with global, local, and team-specific programs.

• Comprehensive benefits for candidates based in Germany: Superhuman offers all team members competitive pay along with a benefits package encompassing life care (including mental health care and risk benefits) and ample and defined time off. We also offer support to set up a home office, wellness and pet care stipends, learning and development opportunities, and more.

• Relocation Support: Superhuman provides comprehensive relocation support to make your move to Berlin seamless. Our package includes visa assistance, destination services to help you and your family settle in comfortably, and a relocation bonus to cover additional expenses, such as temporary housing.
