Role
Who you are
- 5 plus years in GRC or closely related roles, with a bias for action and comfort working as a doer in a lean team
- Proven experience shipping outcomes across SOC 2 Type 2 and at least one privacy regime (e.g., GDPR/UK GDPR, PIPEDA, CCPA/CPRA)
- Strong background in vendor due diligence/TPRM, policy management, and risk assessment
- Comfortable reading and commenting on contractual language related to security & privacy (DPAs, data protection clauses) in partnership with Legal
- Excellent written and verbal communication, including the ability to simplify complex security topics for customers and internal stakeholders
- Experience in B2B SaaS, ideally startup/scale‑up environments serving regulated or enterprise customers
- Tooling familiarity with Drata, Vanta, and Jira, and other collaboration tools
What the job involves
- Blue J is the leading generative AI solution for tax professionals. As a B2B SaaS company, our customers are accountants and tax experts who rely on our market-leading software to deliver fast, accurate, and defensible answers to complex tax questions
- With the launch of our flagship generative AI product, we’ve consistently exceeded our revenue targets quarter over quarter and continue to accelerate our growth. Our product roadmap is ambitious, customer-focused, and designed to deliver exceptional value at speed
- On the heels of our $122M USD Series D funding, we’re racing ahead with an exciting product roadmap and are looking for a Senior Manager, GRC to support our growth
- This role will focus heavily on hands‑on execution while also contributing ideas to mature our GRC program
- This is a unique opportunity to be the hands-on GRC partner at a high‑growth SaaS company that already operates at a strong external standard (SOC 2 Type 2) and sells into discerning legal, tax, and public‑sector clients
- Own security questionnaires / sales surveys end‑to‑end to help Sales move quickly and confidently
- Support our annual SOC 2 Type 2 activities (evidence collection, control monitoring, audit coordination) and applicable privacy regulation obligations (such as GDPR/UK GDPR, PIPEDA, CCPA/CPRA, etc.)
- Monitor emerging AI-related laws and compliance frameworks to ensure Blue J remains aligned with evolving AI governance requirements; contribute to developing internal readiness in this rapidly growing regulatory space
- Perform vendor due diligence (new & existing vendors/sub‑processors), assess risk, document findings, and track remediation; maintain the vendor inventory
- Maintain and improve policies & procedures (security, privacy, incident response, acceptable use, access, etc.), ensuring versions, ownership, and review cadence are clear
- Risk analysis & risk register: run/refresh risk assessments, rate risks, propose controls, and report on trends and treatment status
- Contract reviews with Legal (e.g., security/privacy clauses in MSAs, DPAs, SCCs as applicable); provide clear, business‑savvy guidance to Sales and customers
- Document and tune the Incident Response plan; schedule exercises/tabletops and track follow‑ups
- Customer‑facing communication: join prospect and customer calls to explain our program in plain language and instill confidence
- Metrics & hygiene: define and report GRC KPIs/SLOs (e.g., questionnaire turn‑around time, evidence completion, vendor reviews on time)
- Continuous improvement: identify pragmatic process upgrades that save time, reduce risk, and scale with growth while staying hands‑on in daily execution
Application process
- We anticipate a high volume of applicants for this role and are excited to grow our team. A human will review each application and get back to you as soon as possible. We appreciate your patience and look forward to connecting with you!

Our take
Blue J Legal’s AI powered platform was created by a team of law professors and data scientists with the aim of helping fellow legal professionals gain a better understanding of individual cases, more quickly than if they researched an entire case themselves.
Having initially focused solely on legal cases, Blue J also now applies its predictive AI software to tax law – a tool which has become popular amongst tax attorneys and accountants, not just for its speed but for its junior-training applications.
While there’s been huge growth in the use of AI in the legal industry, its outcomes have not been without flaw. Blue J claims 90% accuracy for its predictive software, however there have been some cases documented across the whole industry where AI was biased against minority demographics for example.
The key thing for Blue J Legal moving forward is the accuracy of its software. If the company can maintain the very highest standards and maintain its AI’s integrity, it could become not just financially successful, but socially impactful.
