You are a consultative platform advisor who steps into complex client environments to create clarity, structure, and trust.
In this role, you will lead the delivery of contracted GRC engagements, including Internal Audit, Enterprise Risk Management, Controls Management, and Compliance reporting.

- Drive GRC Delivery: Own and execute direct service delivery for GRC customer and partner engagements across the EMEA region, ensuring projects move smoothly from scoping to high-value outcomes.
- Consultative Discovery & Design: Lead detailed discovery sessions to understand business workflows, designing robust GRC solutions within the Workiva platform without requiring day-to-day supervision.
- Leverage NextGen AI & MCPs: Integrate AI-driven workflows and Model Context Protocols into daily operations to automate routine tasks, focus on strategic advisory work, and help clients adopt modern AI capabilities.
- Enable & Guide Partners: Interface directly with delivery partners, offering architectural guidance and quality reviews to maintain solution standards without taking over core partner ownership.
- Consultative Influence: Partner cross-functionally with Customer Success, Sales, and Product teams to validate project scope and constructively challenge poor design choices from partners or customers to protect solution health.
- Peer Collaboration & Upskilling: Actively share GRC domain knowledge with the broader team, assisting with onboarding, internal training, and team enablement.
