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 a reactive to a proactive program. The role will maintain a control set mapped across frameworks so that a single control test can produce evidence for every applicable framework, administer the GRC platform as the system of record, own IT policies and security training, and execute audits. The position is based in the Dallas, San Francisco, or New York City area. The role may be remote while Groq establishes a local office, with an expectation that it will transition to onsite work once the office opens. The total cash salary range for U.S.-based candidates is $186,600–$252,400, inclusive of potential bonus value. Placement depends on location, experience, skills, and alignment with internal compensation standards. International compensation varies by local market. Groq also offers a Long-Term Incentive Program and employee benefits. Candidates must meet applicable export-control eligibility criteria.
