FloQast, Chicago, Illinois, United States, 60290
Overview
FloQast is seeking a Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) Manager to play a critical role in advancing our global compliance and information security programs. This role goes beyond maintaining checklists — you will shape and scale a program that enables trust, operational excellence, and long-term growth. You will partner cross-functionally with leadership and teams across the business to embed best-in-class security, privacy, and compliance practices into how FloQast operates. You will translate strategic objectives into actionable projects and drive execution with stakeholders across the organization. The Compliance team ensures adherence to key security and privacy frameworks including SOC 1, SOC 2, ISO27001, ISO 27701, and ISO 42001, and collaborates with Product, Engineering, Security, and Operations to anticipate risks, build scalable controls, and support FloQast’s mission with accountability and transparency. Visa sponsorship is NOT available at this time.
What You’ll Do
Manage a team to drive the development and maintenance of policies, control objectives, standards, controls, processes, and guidelines. Advocate for compliance best practices and be the point of contact for stakeholders from departments throughout the company. This role has management/supervisory responsibilities over junior employees. Own and evolve the internal controls framework, ensuring new and existing controls are effectively designed, documented, tested, and continuously improved. Partner with business and technical leaders to embed compliance and risk management into day-to-day operations, balancing business enablement with regulatory obligations. Drive audit readiness and execution by leading preparation for annual SOC 1, SOC 2, and ISO assessments—coordinating stakeholders, reviewing evidence, and managing auditor relationships. Develop and maintain policies and standards that align with industry best practices, regulatory requirements, and FloQast’s evolving business model. Proactively monitor compliance performance, performing root cause analyses for identified issues and overseeing remediation efforts. Serve as a trusted advisor and advocate for security and compliance, engaging with teams across the company to foster a strong risk-aware culture. Lead cross-functional initiatives in support of new business initiatives, customer requirements, and continuous improvement projects. Support customer assurance activities, including completion of security questionnaires and participation in customer discussions.
What You’ll Bring
4+ years of risk and compliance experience, with a minimum of 1 year experience managing a team to successfully facilitate regulatory compliance. Proven experience with security, privacy, and compliance frameworks such as SOC 1, SOC 2, ISO 27001, ISO 27701, PCI, or HIPAA. Strong understanding of information security and privacy principles, including how to operationalize them in a SaaS environment. Exceptional communication and relationship-building skills with the ability to influence stakeholders at all levels. Experience leading information technology or information security audits.
Nice To Haves / Other
Familiarity with NIST, CIS, or other security frameworks. Experience in a high-growth SaaS or software development environment.
