Governance, Risk & Compliance Analyst

About your role

Rocket Lawyer continues to rapidly grow its business into the legal tech world, leveraging our quickly developing AI technology. As part of this continued growth, more analysis is made by each of our customers on Rocket Lawyer’s security practice from a GRC standpoint. Additionally, as we continue to grow, our risk profile grows and must be managed appropriately.

Rocket Lawyer is looking for a motivated individual with a strong fundamental understanding of GRC to mature our program, along with the continued company growth. In 2025, we established our first proper GRC function on our journey to obtaining our first SOC2 Type II certification as a business. In 2026, we plan to obtain an ISO 27001 certification in addition to streamlining and building out all of our controls, as well as more closely staying on top of company risks.

Cross-Functional Security Responsibilities

• While GRC is the primary focus of this role, Rocket Lawyer’s security team must be nimble and cross-trained across multiple disciplines.

• Familiarity with major security and privacy frameworks (ISO, NIST, SOC 2, HIPAA, etc.).

• Strong critical thinking, organization, and communication skills.

• Ability to balance multiple projects and deadlines with exceptional follow-through.

• Technical aptitude — you’re curious, you learn fast, and you don't shy away from new tools.

• A passion for cybersecurity and a commitment to helping companies build safer, stronger environments.

• Strong understanding of global data protection laws and regulations (e.g., GDPR, CCPA) and their technical implications.
