Starting with his family’s pizzerias, we now empower over tens of thousands of restaurants with the technology, services, and collective power that owners need to better serve their digitally minded customers and build lasting businesses. We’re growing and adding more talent to help fulfil this valuable mission. That’s where you come in.

The Challenge to Solve

As a Senior GRC Specialist at Slice, you will join the Information Security, Compliance, and Privacy team and play a key role in driving our security governance and compliance initiatives.

You’ll work closely with Engineering, IT, Finance, and Business teams to ensure our security controls are effective, practical and aligned with operational realities.
