About The Position

Lucid's Quality organization helps ensure vehicles are built, verified, and released with clear evidence of compliance, safety, and product readiness. The team connects regulatory requirements, Homologation, manufacturing execution, quality systems, and final product release across the full vehicle lifecycle. This team is unique in the way it partners across Design Engineering, Legal, Launch, Manufacturing Engineering, Production, Product Release, and Homologation to translate complex requirements into practical controls on the manufacturing floor. Its work directly supports audit readiness, market readiness, and customer confidence in Lucid products. The GRC Program Manager is a senior-level role reporting to a leader within the Quality organization. This role exists to strengthen the connection between government regulations, safety requirements, EV-specific compliance expectations, manufacturing controls, and final product release decisions. In the first 12 months, this person will own the development and execution of regulatory compliance controls that support production readiness, audit readiness, and compliant vehicle release across applicable models, markets, and configurations. Success will be measured by complete release evidence, effective process controls, timely closure of compliance gaps, and improved alignment between Homologation requirements and manufacturing execution. A strong candidate will have the opportunity to shape how regulatory requirements are operationalized in an EV manufacturing environment where product design, launch execution, and release assurance intersect.
