Audit & Compliance Program Lead (SOC 2 & ISO 27001) Remote

Groq, Inc.; San Francisco (CA); Hybrid; USD 187,000 - 252,000; Full time

Job summary

Groq, Inc. is seeking an Audit and Compliance Program Manager to run the audit program across SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, and other frameworks from a unified control perspective.

You will manage audit relationships, fieldwork logistics, and evidence readiness within Vanta GRC, acting as the system of record. You will own the IT policy lifecycle and security awareness training, tracking completion as audit evidence and reporting status to security leadership.

Qualifications

• 5+ years in compliance program management and hands-on execution of at least two concurrent framework audits.
• Experience mapping controls across frameworks 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 audit-grade evidence.
• Big 4 or equivalent audit-firm experience delivering compliance engagements.

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 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.
