Groq•San Francisco, NY

7d•Hybrid

About The Position

Groq is seeking an Audit and Compliance Program Manager to run its audit program across multiple frameworks and mature the GRC function from reactive to proactive. The role will maintain a unified control set and framework mapping so a single control test can generate evidence for every applicable framework, administer the GRC tool as the system of record, own IT policies and security awareness training, and execute audits. The role is based in the Dallas, San Francisco, or New York City area. The employee may work remotely while Groq establishes a local office, with the expectation that the role will transition to onsite work once the office opens.

Requirements

At least 5 years of experience in compliance program management.
Hands-on execution of at least two concurrent framework audits.
Experience mapping controls across frameworks and reducing duplicate evidence collection.
Experience administering a GRC platform as a system of record.
Experience managing external auditors, drafting scope statements for executive review, and coordinating SMEs across stakeholders.
Experience owning a policy lifecycle and a security awareness training program, with completion evidence that has stood up in audit.
Must be based in the Dallas, San Francisco, or New York City area.
Must meet applicable export control eligibility criteria; for the U.S. posting, candidates must qualify as U.S. Persons or be eligible for an applicable export license.
