About this role
About BaseBase is America’s next-generation power company. We’re rebuilding the foundation of modern civilization–electricity–by deploying a vast network of distributed batteries that is transforming today’s fragile, centralized grid into a resilient and abundant system. We are engineers, operators, and creatives solving some of the most complex, interdisciplinary challenges of our time.
About the RoleWe are seeking a GRC Analyst to help build and run Base’s security governance, risk, and compliance program as the company scales across software, hardware, manufacturing, field operations, and energy infrastructure. This role will sit on the Security team and help turn security requirements into practical, repeatable processes that support customer trust, regulatory readiness, and operational resilience.
The ideal candidate is detail-oriented, organized, and comfortable translating complex security and compliance requirements into clear action plans. This is an opportunity to make GRC more than a checkbox function, helping Base earn trust, reduce risk, and scale securely.
What You'll DoRun Base's compliance programs (SOC 2, ISO 27001, etc.): evidence collection, control testing, and audit coordination
Write and maintain security policies and procedures
Assess and track vendor and third party risk
Maintain the risk register: identify, classify, and remediate risks
Support internal and external audits and evidence collection
Maintain control mapping against frameworks like NIST CSF, NIST 800-53, CIS Controls and ISO
Run periodic risk assessments across business units and systems
Own responses to customer and partner security assessments and RFPs
Take point on annual security awareness training
Coordinate requirements and deadlines across departments
What You'll Bring3+ years in security compliance, IT audit, or GRC, including at least one SOC 2 cycle owned start to finish
Enough technical depth to judge a control yourself - read a SIEM configuration, an identity provider's MFA settings, or a cloud audit log and decide whether it holds up
Strong organizational and interpersonal skills to coordinate across teams and stakeholders
Hands-on ownership of a GRC platform — Secureframe, Vanta, Drata, or similar — including configuring integrations
Experience building and running a third-party risk program
Comfortable holding remediation deadlines with engineering or operations in a fast-moving environment
