Security Automation Specialist at atNorth

Are you passionate about simplifying complexity and making security processes truly work at scale? At atNorth, we are looking for someone who thrives at the intersection of security, technology, and automation, someone who can transform manual, fragmented ways of working into streamlined, intelligent, and scalable solutions.

In this role, you won’t just improve processes, you will rethink how security and compliance are delivered across the organization. By leveraging automation, AI, and smart tooling, you’ll help build efficient, consistent, and future-ready security operations that enable our continued growth.

Key responsibilities:

• Simplify and standardize security and compliance workflows in close collaboration with process owners

• Identify and implement automation and AI solutions to support compliance questionnaires, documentation, risk assessments, and evidence collection

• Build and maintain a centralized knowledge base for security responses, certifications, and controls

• Streamline and accelerate responses to customer due diligence and security assessment requests

• Automate reporting, dashboards, and documentation to ensure accurate and audit-ready outputs

• Optimize risk and business continuity (BCM) processes, improving usability, visibility, and efficiency

• Evaluate and implement tools (e.g., GRC, AI platforms, workflow automation) and integrate with existing systems such as Atlassian, M365, and Vanta

• Collaborate cross-functionally with Security, IT, and Operations teams to translate challenges into scalable solutions

• Drive adoption of new tools and processes through training and stakeholder engagement

• Track KPIs and continuously improve processes to reduce manual effort and increase efficiency

Your profile:

• Proven experience in process improvement, workflow automation, and tooling implementation

• Strong problem-solving mindset with a focus on eliminating inefficiencies, not just optimizing them

• Hands-on experience using AI tools (e.g., copilots, LLMs, automation platforms) in business processes

• Ability to define, track, and demonstrate impact through measurable KPIs

• Good understanding of security and compliance frameworks such as ISO 27001 and/or SOC 2

• Experience working with systems such as Atlassian (Jira/Confluence), M365 (e.g., Power Automate), or similar

• Ability to work cross-functionally and translate complex technical needs into practical solutions

• Background from regulated environments or data center/critical infrastructure is an advantage
