Director of GRC

At Feeld, we are creating a world where everyone is more intimately connected to each other and themselves. We are building an inclusive, human-centred product and are looking for a Director of GRC to become part of our remote team and our mission to elevate the human experience of sexuality and relationships.

You will be responsible for leading the design and implementation of governance, risk, and compliance practices that support Feeld’s growth, protect user trust, and align with global standards — all while working cross-functionally to embed ethical, privacy-conscious, and scalable controls into our everyday operations.

To be right for this role, you should have deep experience in governance, risk, and compliance—especially in tech or digital environments—strong knowledge of data privacy regulations like GDPR and CCPA, and a track record of building practical, scalable systems that support both trust and growth.

What you will do:

• Build systems and processes that align governance, risk, and compliance with Feeld’s mission, values, and pace of innovation.
• Support cross-functional teams in understanding and integrating GRC principles into product development, operations, and decision-making.
• Lead efforts to achieve and maintain compliance with key frameworks and regulations (e.g., GDPR, CCPA, ISO 27001).
• Develop and maintain a living risk register, partnering with teams to assess, prioritize, and mitigate key risks.
• Implement a scalable vendor risk management program, including onboarding, due diligence, and periodic reviews.
• Design and deliver engaging education and training to embed a culture of trust, care, and accountability across the company.
• Monitor evolving regulatory landscapes and industry best practices to keep Feeld ahead of compliance requirements.
• Advise leadership on emerging risks and compliance needs, offering clear, values-aligned recommendations.
• Document policies, controls, and processes clearly and accessibly, balancing rigor with usability.
• Champion a thoughtful, values-first approach to compliance that builds user trust and supports ethical growth.

About you:

• You have experience leading or shaping governance, risk, and compliance programs—especially in tech, startups, or mission-driven environments.
• You are comfortable interpreting and applying data privacy regulations like GDPR and CCPA, and understand how to make them work across borders.
• You have partnered with cross-functional teams like Product, Legal, Security, or People to build systems that are both practical and values-aligned.
• You see complexity, ambiguity, and evolving regulations as opportunities to create clarity, trust, and impact.
• You are skilled at turning policies and frameworks into tools that people actually use—whether in a fast-paced, global, or nontraditional setting.

Bonus points:

• You have experience with ISO 27001 or SOC 2 implementation in a scaling or remote-first organization.
• You are familiar with how product, engineering, and data teams work—and enjoy collaborating with them to embed ethical and compliant practices.
• You have worked in an international, privacy-forward, or consent-centric business.
• You are curious about how governance and compliance can support more inclusive, equitable systems—not just check a box.
• You have supported or led incident response, policy design, or vendor management in past roles.
• You are comfortable navigating grey areas and helping others feel confident in doing the same.

About us:

Feeld is an independent, experimental and fully remote organisation reshaping the dialogue on dating and sexuality. The company was founded in 2014 and has evolved since to become the open, distributed structure it is now. We have a naturally agile and fluid culture. The whole team is fully remote, which means you work where and when helps you perform at your best. We regard autonomy highly and treat our organisation as a product – we iterate, improve and test things internally to see what works best for everyone.

Our culture:

We believe in creating a safe work environment through humanity, fluidity, safety, transparency and progressiveness. When hiring, we look for culture add rather than culture fit.

Because we are a fully remote team, it’s especially important that we create an environment where our colleagues feel included and connected as humans.

Diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging at Feeld:

Feeld promotes open-mindedness, inclusion, diversity and kindness, both in the world and among our own workforce.

We encourage and welcome applications from people with a history of marginalisation, whether because of race, gender expression or identity, sexual orientation, neurodivergence, national origin, disability (seen or unseen) or any confluence of intersectional identities.

Our goal is a barrier-free application process and working environment. If you require further details or assistance or have any questions about this process, please let us know at hr@feeld.co.

Compensation and perks:

We are conscious of how our work and decisions impact other humans and the environment. We design our product and organisation with consideration for the wellbeing of our Members and colleagues. Feeld’s way of working is designed to proactively prevent burnout and an “always on” culture. We believe in technology and working environments that enable people to live a meaningful, fulfilled life.

Therefore, we offer our staff:

• Flexible working hours
• Unlimited paid time off
• A fully remote working situation
• GBP £3k equipment and home office budget
• Learning & development budget
• On demand therapy sessions and mental health support via Spill
• In-person meet ups

Our compensation system is one of the ways we work to uphold equity and inclusion at Feeld. Just as we strive to enable honest expression on our platform, we strive for openness of information within the organization. Internally, we keep decision-making transparent to keep each other accountable and make sure all voices are heard.

That is why we offer:

• A compensation system that is transparent, honest, and equitable.
• At Feeld we believe all humans deserve to make a competitive wage. That's why we offer a Baseline Freedom Salary of £60,000 GBP per year.

Estimated compensation for this role:

• The total cash compensation for this role is dependent on Level and Step, as well as geographic location, but we estimate that the competitive market compensation for this role is between £135,000 - £150,000 GBP based on the requirements listed in this job description.

Our interview process:

• Your first conversation with Feeld will be a screening call with our recruiter, where you’ll be able to ask - and receive answers - regarding any general questions you have and to confirm the role is a fit for what you’re seeking.
• Your second conversation will connect you directly with the hiring manager for the role you’re applying to. Here, you’ll have a chance to ask more questions about the work you’ll be doing. This conversation will also focus on your past work experiences.
• The next step for most of our roles is a candidate challenge. This is an evaluation of the skills relevant to be successful in this role and generally takes about an hour to complete.
• Your third conversation allows you the opportunity to meet the team members you might be working with on a daily basis. Here, you’ll be able to ask questions about team processes, workflow, and the employee experience at Feeld.
• We generally make an offer within 2 weeks of our final call, and offer a flexible start date that can begin as early as the next Monday after you sign our offer documentation.
• Of note: all of our interviews are conducted remotely, and our interviewers will work with you to find an agreeable interview time based on mutual availability.

We understand we're asking you to invest your time and best efforts in our process, and are appreciative of getting the chance to better know who you are as a person and candidate. In return, we’re committed to offering transparent communication and prompt feedback as you navigate this application with us.
