Associate Security GRC Analyst

We're Celonis, the global leader in Process Mining technology and one of the world's fastest-growing SaaS firms. We believe there is a massive opportunity to unlock productivity by placing data and intelligence at the core of business processes - and for that, we need you to join us.

The Team:

As part of the Information Security Organization, you will be working closely with different departments for their information security compliance. This role will be part of the new and growing Compliance Engineering function. The Information Security team plays a critical role in ensuring Celonis's technology and information assets are appropriately guarded from external and internal threats. The Security GRC Department you'll be joining is responsible for maintaining existing security attestations at Celonis globally, balancing risk with appropriate controls and assessing control effectiveness.

The Role:

This isn't a typical compliance role. It is a technical, hands-on position within our GRC organization, at the critical interface between business operations and technology. Here, you can be a data analyst, an engineer, an auditor, and a builder, using leading technology to design, create, and run automated solutions that test our security controls. In addition to that your analytical skills will contribute to our overall security process intelligence. You will get hands-on experience with our own Celonis platform, modern GRC (Governance, Risk, and Compliance) tools, and low-code automation.

The work you’ll do:

• Design and build assets to test and continuously monitor the effectiveness of our internal security controls including continuous evidence collection
• Rigorously test and validate the data and logic within your solutions to ensure accuracy, completeness, and reliability.
• Participate in and support internal as well as external security compliance audits, applying your technical understanding as well as business acumen to assess control design and effectiveness.
• Develop and manage insights to measure program effectiveness. This includes metrics for compliance and offers the opportunity to support broader security performance and risk management analytics.
• Work with technical and non-technical teams across Celonis to translate security requirements into automated tests and operational workflows.

The qualifications you need: 

• Academic background in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, Physics, Mathematics or a related field, or equivalent work experience.
• You thrive on big challenges, can anticipate and adapt to changes in direction, and are driven to continuously improve the solution.
• A Builder's Mindset: You have foundational experience with data integration and analyzing data using SQL, Python, or similar languages in a database-like environment.
• Strong Problem-Solving Skills: You are a self-starter who can troubleshoot issues independently and enjoys tackling open-ended challenges.
• Excellent Communication Skills: You can clearly articulate and right-size complex technical issues in English to both technical and non-technical people.
• This role requires working in shifts aligned with Central European Time (CET) to collaborate effectively with our global teams.

Preferred Qualifications:

• A strong interest in or foundational knowledge of Process Mining, Continuous Controls Monitoring, Evidence Collection, GRC platforms, and IT Auditing.
• Knowledge of cloud technologies from different cloud service models and security frameworks ( ISO 27001, SOC 2, NIST etc.)
• Demonstrated knowledge of technology risks, infrastructure, and information security princip
