Audit & Compliance Program Manager

Who you are

• 5+ years in compliance program management, including hands-on execution of at least two concurrent framework audits
• Experience mapping controls across frameworks and reducing duplicate evidence collection, and 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
• Experience at a Big 4 or equivalent audit firm delivering compliance engagements, so you know how auditors scope, sample and write findings
• Legal background preferred

What the job involves

• Groq is seeking an Audit and Compliance Program Manager to run the audit program in multiple frameworks
• You will keep the control set mapped once so a single test produces evidence for every framework, maintain the GRC tool as the system of record, own Groq's IT policies and security training, and take on audit execution to mature the GRC function from reactive to proactive program
• 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 to closure with owners and dates so findings do not recur between cycles
• Maintain the control catalogue and framework mapping so one control test produces evidence for every framework it satisfies, and coordinate SME evidence requests so each control is evidenced once per period, not once per framework
• Maintain Vanta GRC as the system of record: integration coverage, automated evidence, test ownership and documentation within their review cycle
• Own the IT policy lifecycle (review cadence, approvals, acknowledgements) and the security awareness training program, with completion tracked as audit evidence; report audit status, open findings and evidence coverage to security leadership on a recurring basis
