Purpose / Profile

The MillerKnoll Governance, Risk, and Compliance Engineer will work collaboratively with global cross-functional teams to centrally perform Cybersecurity and Privacy compliance, data governance, identity governance, and risk management functions. The engineer will have primary responsibility for managing GRC and IAM platforms, implementing APIs and automations to support cybersecurity, privacy, compliance, and access governance practices, and investigating the use of AI to improve GRC and IAM processes.
