The Role

At FrankieOne, where we revolutionise identity verification and onboarding to be swift, seamless, and scalable, your role as GRC Engineer is crucial and plays a pivotal role in assessing and prioritising information security and cybersecurity risks across the organisation. Your technical and automation skills, combined with your ability to manage risks and ensure compliance, make you a key player in our cybersecurity strategy.

You will be at the heart of ensuring continuous compliance and audit readiness - not through manual, point-in-time effort, but by engineering automation that does the heavy lifting. You will design and build automated evidence collection, continuous control monitoring, and security metrics pipelines that keep our compliance posture live and audit-ready at all times. You will also automate and streamline third-party and security risk management, from vendor risk assessments through to keeping our risk register continuously up to date, and support various external and customer audits and due diligence requests with reusable, automated evidence.

Our team is specialised and handles our most strategic and high-value projects. We are looking for an individual who can not only own and lead the administration and maintenance of our critical business systems - ensuring compliance, security, and efficiency across the board - but who also brings an automation-first mindset, constantly seeking to replace repetitive manual GRC work with scalable, repeatable, and auditable automated workflows.
