About the Job
At Xendit, we are looking for a mid-level/senior-level IT GRC Analyst to sit at the intersection of technology, compliance, and risk — not just for Indonesia, but across all of Xendit's operating markets. As an individual contributor, you will be responsible for ensuring our IT systems, processes, and controls meet the regulatory obligations and certification standards of every jurisdiction we operate in. You will be our regional GRC go-to person, coordinating directly with regulatory bodies across the regions (Bank Indonesia / OJK, BSP, BOT, etc). Beyond regulatory compliance, you will own and drive the full lifecycle of our IT certifications such as PCI-DSS and ISO 27001. You will work closely with engineering, security, product, and legal teams to embed compliance into how we build and operate. This is a role for someone who is detail-oriented, thrives in multi-market complexity, and can translate a wide range of regulatory requirements into practical, actionable controls in a fast-moving fintech environment.
