Senior Technical Architect (GRC)
On-siteMadrid, Madrid, Spain
Job Summary
Lead outcome-focused discovery, advisory engagements, workshops, and expert sessions with customers to assess maturity, adoption barriers, and solution direction. Apply GRC expertise to understand objectives, processes, and pain points before recommending pragmatic next steps across IT risk, compliance automation, and third-party risk workflows. Create decision-ready deliverables including current-state assessments, future-state recommendations, reference architectures, and reusable patterns.
