Our roster has an opening with your name on it
FanDuel is seeking a Senior Technology Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC) Analyst to join its Technology GRC team as a strategic specialist supporting our first line of defense (1LOD) function. This role offers a unique opportunity to shape how technology governance, risk management, and compliance work together across the organization. The ideal candidate brings breadth of knowledge and understanding across the full GRC landscape—understanding not just where controls fit, but how governance frameworks drive accountability, how risks cascade through technology systems, and where to plug into partner teams to deliver meaningful outcomes.
At its core, this role is about building and maturing our Technology Unified Controls framework. You will be instrumental in designing and establishing the governance structures and frameworks that define how technology decisions are made, who has authority over critical systems, and how accountability flows through the organization. You'll develop and maintain the comprehensive technology governance policies, standards, and procedures that serve as the backbone for consistent, compliant operations. Beyond creating these frameworks, you'll ensure they remain aligned with enterprise governance principles and regulatory requirements as the landscape evolves.
Across the risk and control landscape, you will navigate the complete control lifecycle. This means collaborating on process discovery to understand how FanDuel workstreams function, identifying controls that address key risks and regulatory requirements, implementing those controls across the technology environment, and establishing testing and continuous assurance mechanisms to ensure controls remain effective. You'll manage issues as they emerge, providing remediation guidance and tracking progress toward resolution. You'll also lead relevant compliance obligations and assessments—whether PCI, SOC2, GLI, state regulatory requirements, or others—ensuring that technology controls specifically address these mandates.
In addition to the specific responsibilities outlined above, employees may be required to perform other such duties as assigned by the Company. This ensures operational flexibility and allows the Company to meet evolving business needs.
THE GAME PLAN
Everyone on our team has a part to play
- Lead and mature a risk-based technology control program to design, implement, and monitor the effectiveness of key controls across the Technology organization, ensuring alignment with FanDuel's security frameworks, industry best practices, and regulatory requirements (NIST CSF, GLI-GSF, PCI, SOC2, SOX)
- Navigate the complete control lifecycle – including process discovery, control identification and implementation, testing and continuous assurance, and issue management with remediation guidance bringing along an automation-first mindset
- Develop and deliver executive reports of technology control health, issues, and risk posture
- Serve as the Technology organization's first line point of contact for various compliance activities (e.g. SOC2, PCI, State Regulatory Exams) and act as a primary liaison between audit teams and internal control stakeholders to ensure clear communication of requirements, timelines, and expectations
- Partner with Technology and Enterprise Risk Management teams to maintain FanDuel's technology risk and controls framework, ensuring risks are identified, assessed, documented, and mapped to effective controls aligned with the company's risk appetite
- Advise and support technology control owners during regulatory examinations or internal audits / assessments, including clarifying scope, expectations and timelines, coordinating meetings, facilitating evidence gathering, clarifying issues with relevant SMEs & stakeholders, and developing necessary action plans and management responses
- Develop and maintain comprehensive technology governance policies, standards, and procedures; ensure alignment with enterprise governance principles and regulatory requirements
- Actively develop, support, and maintain FanDuel's GRC tools to provide continuous controls monitoring and consistent control health reporting while pushing forward an audit-ready environment
- Align control standards with Flutter Entertainment and other brands' GRC groups to push efficiencies and best practices across the enterprise
- Track issues throughout the lifecycle, from initial deviation identification, root cause analysis, remediation plan development, and reporting, as well as supporting resolution and ongoing monitoring
- Lead cross-functional discussions and workshops to enhance awareness and foster continuous improvement across the technology control environment
- Stay abreast of evolving technology & cybersecurity threats, trends, and regulatory changes to enhance control, risk, and governance strategies
- Develop and deliver tailored training and communications on relevant GRC obligations for the technology community, as needed
- Maintain procedures, playbooks, reference documentation, and metrics dashboards
- Assist with special GRC, regulatory, and control assessment and department initiatives, as assigned
- Mentor and guide junior team members, sharing expertise and promoting continuous professional development
THE STATS
What we're looking for in our next teammate
- Bachelor's degree preferred in a technical field (e.g., Cybersecurity, Information Technology) or equivalent combination of education, training, and relevant experience.
- 5+ years related experience across technology and cybersecurity Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC), with demonstrated breadth across all three disciplines.
- Hands-on experience navigating the full control lifecycle – process and risk identification, control design and definition, design and operating effectiveness testing, issue management, and remediation tracking.
- Experience conducting technology risk assessments and maintaining risk registers and partnering with risk owners to define and track mitigation strategies aligned to risk appetite.
- In-depth understanding of various IT platform and systems including but not limited to AWS, Okta, GitHub, and Atlassian products.
- Ability to partner with technical stakeholders to discover, analyze, and document comprehensive data flows, establishing a clear line of sight into how data moves across our infrastructure.

- "Stay Hungry, Stay Humble" mindset that strives to continuously learn and share new skills with others, and embraces a steep learning curve to understand our business and technology drivers to get the job done
- "Anything Is Possible" attitude that is highly organized and results-driven to solve our most important challenges

Search Risk Analyst Jobs in GeorgiaRisk Analyst Jobs in Georgia: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies sponsor visas for risk analysts in Georgia?
Atlanta-headquartered firms with consistent H-1B sponsorship records for risk analyst roles include Equifax, Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), SunTrust (now Truist), and Anthem. Large insurance carriers operating regional hubs in Georgia, such as Assurant and Aflac, also appear in Department of Labor disclosure data for risk-related positions. Consulting firms with Atlanta offices, including Deloitte and Accenture, regularly file Labor Condition Applications for quantitative and operational risk roles.
Which visa types are most common for risk analyst roles in Georgia?
The H-1B is the most common visa for risk analysts in Georgia, as the role typically qualifies as a specialty occupation requiring at least a bachelor's degree in finance, statistics, mathematics, or a related field. Candidates from Australia may pursue the E-3 visa, and Canadian or Mexican nationals may qualify under the TN visa in the economics or accounting category. Some candidates already in the U.S. on OPT or STEM OPT also transition into sponsored status through Georgia employers.
How to find risk analyst visa sponsorship jobs in Georgia?
Migrate Mate filters job listings specifically by visa sponsorship availability, making it straightforward to identify Georgia employers actively hiring risk analysts who will sponsor international candidates. Rather than sifting through generic postings, you can search by role and state to surface positions at Atlanta-area financial institutions, insurers, and fintech firms that have a documented history of sponsoring work visas for quantitative and credit risk professionals.
Which cities in Georgia have the most risk analyst sponsorship jobs?
Atlanta accounts for the large majority of risk analyst sponsorship activity in Georgia, given its concentration of financial services firms, insurance companies, and corporate headquarters. Alpharetta, a northern suburb of Atlanta, hosts a significant fintech and financial services cluster and appears frequently in LCA filings for risk roles. Smaller markets like Augusta and Savannah have limited sponsorship activity for this role compared to the Atlanta metro area.
Are there state-specific factors that affect risk analyst visa sponsorship in Georgia?
Georgia's status as a financial technology hub, anchored by institutions in the Atlanta metro, means employers here often seek candidates with quantitative modeling, credit risk, or regulatory compliance backgrounds. The state's university pipeline, particularly from Georgia Tech and Georgia State University, supplies domestic talent but also generates OPT-eligible candidates that some employers transition to H-1B sponsorship. Prevailing wage requirements for risk analyst roles in Georgia are set by the Department of Labor based on the Atlanta-Sandy Springs-Roswell metropolitan area wage data.
What is the prevailing wage for sponsored risk analyst jobs in Georgia?
U.S. employers sponsoring a visa must pay at least the prevailing wage, which is what workers in the same role, area, and experience level typically earn. The Department of Labor sets this rate to make sure companies aren't hiring foreign workers simply because they'd accept lower pay than a U.S. worker. It varies by job title, location, and experience. You can look up current prevailing wage rates for any occupation and location using the OFLC Wage Search page.
