• Ensure all collected information and artifacts are accurately recorded and saved to the correct location within the Compliance Pulse management tool, maintaining a complete and audit-ready system of record.
• Serve as a central point of coordination between the Compliance Manager, internal departments, and client contacts to keep compliance initiatives moving forward.

• Maintain project plans, status trackers, and timelines, and provide regular status updates to the Compliance Manager and relevant stakeholders.
• Support readiness for audits and assessments across frameworks such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST, and HIPAA by organizing documentation and confirming completeness.
• Identify process bottlenecks and recommend improvements to streamline evidence collection, documentation, and overall compliance workflows.
• Maintain confidentiality and handle sensitive internal and client information with a high degree of professionalism and integrity.

• 2+ years of experience in project management, compliance coordination, audit support, or a related operational role.
• Working knowledge of common compliance and security frameworks, including SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST, and HIPAA (familiarity with others such as PCI DSS, HITRUST, or CMMC is a plus).
• Strong project management skills, with a proven ability to manage multiple priorities, deadlines, and stakeholders simultaneously.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to interact professionally with both internal teams and external clients.
• High attention to detail and strong organizational skills, especially in documentation and record-keeping.
• Comfortable working with compliance, GRC, or project management software tools.
