Audit And Compliance Program Manager

Details

Groq is seeking an Audit and Compliance Program Manager to run the audit program across multiple frameworks. The role will maintain a mapped control set so a single test produces evidence for every applicable framework, maintain Vanta GRC as the system of record, own Groq's IT policies and security training, and execute audits to mature the GRC function from reactive to proactive.

Responsibilities

• Run the audit calendar across SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001:2022, and other frameworks.
• Manage day-to-day auditor relationships, fieldwork logistics, and evidence readiness.
• Track audit findings through closure with owners and target dates to prevent recurrence between audit cycles.
• Maintain the control catalogue and framework mappings so one control test produces evidence for every framework it satisfies.
• Coordinate subject-matter expert evidence requests so each control is evidenced once per period rather than once per framework.
• Maintain Vanta GRC as the system of record, including integration coverage, automated evidence, test ownership, and documentation within review cycles.
• Own the IT policy lifecycle, including review cadence, approvals, and acknowledgements.
• Own the security awareness training program and track completion as audit evidence.
• Report audit status, open findings, and evidence coverage to security leadership on a recurring basis.

Requirements

• At least 5 years of compliance program management experience, including 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 subject-matter experts across stakeholders.
• Experience owning a policy lifecycle and security awareness training program, with completion evidence that has stood up in audits.
• Experience at a Big Four or equivalent audit firm delivering compliance engagements, with knowledge of how auditors scope, sample, and write findings.
• A legal background is preferred.
• Candidates for the US posting must meet applicable US export-control eligibility requirements or qualify for an applicable export license.

Work Location

This role is based in one of Groq's three hiring hubs: the Dallas, San Francisco, or New York City area. The role can be performed remotely while the local Groq office is established, with the expectation that it will transition to onsite work once the office opens.

Compensation

The total cash salary range is $186,600–$252,400 per year, inclusive of potential bonus value. Individual compensation depends on geographic location, experience, skills, and alignment with internal compensation standards. The range applies to candidates located in the United States. Groq also offers a Long-Term Incentive Program and employee benefits.
