Senior Compliance Analyst

About the Role

AlphaSense is maturing its GRC function and needs a Senior Compliance Analyst to be the operational engine of our compliance program. You will own end-to-end evidence collection and auditor engagement across our ISO 27001, SOC 2, and ISO 42001 certifications—serving as the primary operational liaison between AlphaSense and external assessors throughout Stage 1, Stage 2, and surveillance cycles. You will partner with control owners across Engineering, IT, and Legal to ensure we are continuously audit-ready, not just audit-reactive. You bring an AI-native mindset: you use AI tools to accelerate evidence gathering, draft control narratives, identify documentation gaps, and replace manual toil with intelligent workflows—while applying rigorous judgment to validate every output you ship.But this role is more than executing a compliance program—it is an opportunity to help define what modern compliance looks like. AlphaSense is building a GRC function that we believe can set the standard for how AI-native, high-growth companies approach compliance: not as a checkbox exercise, but as a continuous, automated, and strategically integrated discipline. The practices we build here will influence how compliance is done industry-wide. We are looking for someone who is energized by that challenge—who wants to be part of building something that others will look to as the model.

Key Responsibilities

Evidence Collection & Management

Own the full evidence collection lifecycle across all active audit and continuous compliance cycles. Coordinate with control owners to gather, validate, and organize evidence artifacts in the GRC platform (Drata or equivalent). Use AI-assisted workflows to pre-stage evidence, flag stale artifacts, and reduce the manual burden on engineering and IT teams—making it easier for control owners to do this right than to skip it.

Auditor Engagement

Serve as the primary operational point of contact for external auditors during Stage 1, Stage 2, and surveillance audits. Manage auditor portals, respond to RFIs, track open items to closure, and ensure auditors leave each engagement with a complete, accurate view of how AlphaSense's controls operate in practice. Findings get closed before they become repeat findings.
