GRC Program Manager

A World-Changing Company

Palantir builds the world’s leading software for data-driven decisions and operations. By bringing the right data to the people who need it, our platforms empower our partners to develop lifesaving drugs, forecast supply chain disruptions, locate missing children, and more.

The Role As a GRC Program Manager, you are the engine behind Palantir's Governance, Risk, and Compliance programs. You partner with compliance engineers, security teams, and developers to design and scale the processes that keep our Commercial, International, and US Government businesses operating at the highest regulatory standards. You track and stabilize projects, remove roadblocks, and anticipate stakeholder needs to free up our specialists to focus on the problems they are best equipped to solve.

Core Responsibilities

Design, document, and continuously improve compliance processes and frameworks to scale GRC operations across Commercial, IG, and USG environments.

Serve as connective tissue across teams, translating regulatory requirements into actionable workflows and ensuring accountability at every stage of the compliance lifecycle.

Coordinate across internal and external audit cycles (FedRAMP, SOC 2, ISO 27001, etc.), ensuring evidence collection, remediation tracking, and stakeholder communication stay on schedule.

Keep broad and complete state of everything involving or related to your projects, including audit timelines, control implementation status, and continuous monitoring obligations. Pre-empt and resolve any issues that may steer projects off-course.

Enhance cross-team collaboration across engineering, legal, and customer-facing teams to drive key GRC deliverables through the entire software development and compliance lifecycle.

Synthesize concrete compliance goals from product and regulatory vision, mapping global strategy to granular team tasks and issues. This means triaging requests from the field to create maximum focus for the team, while escalating items that need immediate attention.

Work with customer-facing engineering teams on adoption, roll out, and support of compliance-related product features and certifications.

What We Value

Demonstrated success managing compliance programs for an enterprise software company, startup or other company.

Experience with multiple GRC frameworks and standards, such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, IRAP or ENS. Experience in USG-specific frameworks is particularly valuable: FedRAMP, NIST 800-53, DoD CC SRG, FISMA, or CMMC.

Excellent judgment and composure in high-pressure situations, including during active audits or compliance incidents.

A creative approach to project management centered around lightweight frameworks that enable rapid iteration, while operating in harmony with a larger development and compliance organization.

An ability to develop strong relationships with key internal stakeholders (including customer-facing teams), auditors, and regulators, with a high level of empathy for our end-users' needs.

Meticulous attention to detail, including holding tightly to your team's compliance and product quality bar.

A proven track record of building and scaling compliance processes from the ground up, particularly in USG-regulated environments.

Experience with risk management methodologies, including maintaining risk registers, conducting risk assessments, and managing third-party or vendor risk programs.
