Lead Compliance Analyst

HubSpot is seeking a Lead Compliance Analyst to play a critical role in our Product SOX Compliance program. This role focuses on ensuring new products and features are designed, launched, and operated in a SOX-compliant manner by partnering closely with Product and Engineering teams.

You will be a senior individual contributor responsible for product compliance onboarding, high-risk control testing, and remediation support, helping shift SOX compliance from reactive audit response to proactive assurance.

This role is ideal for a seasoned SOX or GRC professional who enjoys working deeply with technical teams, exercising strong judgment, and owning complex compliance workstreams.

• Lead compliance onboarding for new products, features, and major engineering changes.
• Review control design and operational readiness prior to Go-Live.
• Partner with Product and Engineering teams to identify SOX-relevant risks and ensure appropriate controls are in place early.
• Provide clear, actionable guidance to teams on control expectations and evidence requirements.

• Execute deep-dive testing of high-risk SOX controls, including:
  
• user access and privilege management,
• change management,
• data integrity and financial reporting dependencies.
  
• Perform root-cause analysis when issues are identified.
• Document results clearly and defensibly for audit consumption.

• Work directly with Engineering, Product, and Finance partners to support remediation of control gaps.
• Validate corrective actions and ensure issues are fully resolved.
• Track recurring issues and surface systemic risks to leadership.

• Contribute to the evolution of product SOX onboarding frameworks, testing methodologies, and documentation standards.
• Identify opportunities to reduce manual effort through better design, standardization, or automation.
  Partner with Security Automation and Engineering teams to support programmatic compliance checks over time.

• 7-12+ years of experience in SOX, IT Compliance, or Security GRC, preferably in a SaaS or technology-driven environment.
• Strong hands-on experience with:
• SOX 404 control testing,
• control design and readiness assessments,
• issue remediation and audit support.
• Experience partnering with product and engineering teams on compliance matters.
• Ability to independently own complex compliance initiatives end-to-end.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.

• Experience with product-centric or platform-based SOX programs.
• Familiarity with SOC 1/2, ISO 27001, or NIST frameworks.
• Comfort working in fast-paced, evolving technical environments.
• Certifications such as CISA, CRISC, CISSP or equivalent experience.
