WHO YOU’LL WORK WITH
The Principal GRC Information Security Analyst 5 is the top GRC individual contributor at Nike's India Technology Center (ITC), reporting to the ITC GRC Director. This role partners with the Global GRC team in Beaverton, Oregon and cross-functional leaders across Global Technology, Internal Audit, Legal, and Finance to advance Nike's global GRC agenda.
The candidate needs to have deep, broadly applied GRC expertise across Governance, Risk, Compliance, and Technical Recovery, and the maturity to operate as a Principal GRC Athlete—the discipline lead for ITC on a rotating stream while providing thought leadership across all four streams. This is the senior anchor role at ITC and requires a recognized subject-matter expert who is comfortable with novel and ambiguous problems and who develops new concepts, playbooks, and standards that scale globally. The candidate influences senior leaders across a highly matrixed environment without direct authority, coaches Leads, Seniors, and Analysts, and sets the technical direction for how work gets done at ITC. Strong command of SOX ITGC, cybersecurity regulations, NIST CSF and ISO 27001, third-party cyber risk, cybersecurity risk assessments, DR/BCP resilience, ServiceNow GRC, and enterprise risk lifecycle discipline is essential. The candidate thrives on closing loops with evidence, not activity.
10+ years of professional experience in technology risk, cybersecurity risk, IT audit, compliance, or GRC in large, matrixed, multinational technology organizations
Bachelor’s degree or equivalent combination of education, experience, or training
Advanced degree or professional certifications strongly preferred (e.g., CISSP, CISM, CRISC, CISA, GRCP, ISO 27001 LA/LI)
Strong hands-on experience with ServiceNow GRC (or comparable platform)
Demonstrated hands-on delivery across at least two of four GRC streams (Governance, Risk, Compliance, Technical Recovery)

You serve as the ITC power user and design partner for ServiceNow GRC—driving workflow improvements, control library hygiene, attestations, dashboards, and adoption across distributed owners
