<h2>Who we are</h2>

<h3>About Stripe</h3>

<p>Stripe is a financial infrastructure platform for businesses. Millions of companies—from the world's largest enterprises to the most ambitious startups—use Stripe to accept payments, grow their revenue, and accelerate new business opportunities. Our mission is to increase the GDP of the internet, and we have a staggering amount of work ahead. That means you have an unprecedented opportunity to put the global economy within everyone's reach while doing the most important work of your career.</p>

<h3>About the team</h3>

<p>Bridge Building S.A. (BBSA) is the Luxembourg regulated entity of Bridge, a Stripe company. We operate as an EMI and future CASP in one of Europe's most demanding regulatory environments (CSSF, DORA, MiCA).</p>

<p>BBSA is building a local regulated platform powered by a global-first technology model.</p>

<h2>What you'll do</h2>

<p>In this context, we're looking for an IT GRC Analyst to act as the bridge between strict European regulations and high-velocity global engineering.</p>

<p>This role is the control and risk right hand of the Bridge Global CISO. While our global teams build the tech, you ensure it is compliant, resilient, and audit-ready. You'll translate requirements like DORA and MiCA into tangible IT controls, oversee third-party risks, and maintain the integrity of our governance framework.</p>

<p>This is not a tick-the-box compliance role. It is an operational position for a professional who understands technology well enough to govern it effectively. You'll have high visibility, owning the frameworks that allow us to scale securely.</p>

<h3>Responsibilities</h3>

<p>Third-party risk management (TPRM) • Support ICT due diligence and risk assessments of critical vendors and service providers, while assisting with Developer and Customer Oversight. • Monitor service level agreements and performance metrics of critical vendors, challenging performance where necessary. • Act as the primary support to the outsourcing manager regarding technical vendor oversight.</p>

<p>Access governance and control (IAG) • Oversee the identity and access governance strategy, including adherence to Segregation of Duties, principle of least privilege, and others. • Conduct periodic user access reviews for critical systems.</p>

<p>Regulatory compliance and audit readiness • Act as the primary liaison for internal audit regarding IT topics. • Prepare technical inputs and evidence for CSSF notifications and regulatory reporting. • Monitor compliance with GDPR and data privacy controls (e.g., DLP oversight, data residency). • Coordinate business continuity (BCP) and disaster recovery (DR) testing documentation and reporting.</p>

<p>Incident governance • Oversee the IT incident management process to ensure proper classification, reporting, and root cause analysis (RCA). • Ensure major incidents are reported to regulators within mandated timeframes, in collaboration with Compliance.</p>
