We power the most advanced AI teams in the world by giving them the flexibility to move fast, scale confidently, and stay future-proof as models evolve.\nAs enterprise adoption of AI accelerates, OpenRouter sits at the center of how organizations operationalize LLMs across research, product, and production workloads.\nAbout the Role\nYou own our compliance program day to day. Drata and Safebase are yours. SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI DSS, GDPR, CCPA, BIPA, and the EU AI Act are yours. You'll report to the Head of IT & Security, and you'll run the program with very little daily management.\nThe controls are the easy part. The real work is getting an engineer mid-sprint to pull evidence, getting the whole company through training before the deadline, and doing it in a way that makes people take your next request seriously instead of ignoring it. If your ideal job is overseeing a program that someone else operates, this is not the role for you. We are looking for a strategic builder ready to roll up their sleeves.\nWe also work in a space where the regulation is still being written. A meaningful share of what you'll face has no established playbook, and you'll be the person deciding what a novel requirement actually means for our business.\nWhat You'll Do\nOwn Drata end to end - administration, integrations, monitoring test health, and the manual evidence collection automation doesn't reach.\n\nCurate the SafeBase knowledge base so sales can self-serve most customer security questionnaires - and be the escalation point for the ones they can't.\n\nDrive personnel compliance: policy acknowledgments, device compliance, and recurring security and compliance training. This means chasing people down and building the habit, not just running the report.\n\nLead recurring ceremonies: user access reviews, penetration tests, BCDR and incident response tabletops, annual policy review and updates, risk assessments.\n\nWork directly with Engineering on product-related compliance questions, from data handling to customer commitments.\n\nMaintain audit readiness across SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI DSS, GDPR, CCPA, BIPA, and the EU AI Act.\n\nTranslate emerging AI regulation into controls we can actually operate, rather than waiting for someone else's checklist.\n\nPartner with HR, Legal, Customer Support, and Finance so compliance fits into work that's already happening.\n\nWhat We're Looking For\nSeveral years in GRC or compliance, hands-on - you've built and run programs, not just governed them.\n\nAt least one SOC 2 audit cycle owned end to end, evidence through fieldwork.\n\nAdmin-level fluency in a compliance automation platform (Drata strongly preferred).\n\nTechnical enough to hold a real conversation with engineers about architecture and data flows.\n\nProven cross-functional influence without becoming the person everyone avoids.\n\nComfortable when requirements shift and precedent doesn't exist.\n\nNice to Have\nPCI DSS in a startup environment\n\nHIPAA as a Business Associate\n\nEU AI Act or other emerging AI regulation\n\nCISA, CISSP, or CIPP\n\nFirst compliance hire experience\n\nScripting for evidence collection\n\nIf you don't think you meet all of the criteria below but still are interested in the job, please apply. Nobody checks every box, and we're looking for someone who is excited to join the team.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3528,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["LLM & Generative AI","AI Compute & Inference","AI Development Tools"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-28T18:45:48Z"}],"liveness":{"score":90,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.903,"p_room":1,"age_days":2,"expected_fill_days":53,"reasons":["conf:7","velocity","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-01T05:45:00Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":205000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/openrouter-grc-manager","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/openrouter-grc-manager.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-02T01:31:26Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","usage":{"tier":"crawler","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":1834,"day_limit":5000,"remaining_today":3166,"minute_limit":60,"resets_at":"2026-10-03T00:00:00Z"}}}
