Our team is composed of top innovators from industry leaders like Microsoft, Airbnb, Brex, Instacart, and GRC firms like PwC and Deloitte. Backed by a portfolio of Top 10 audit firms, Fortune 500 companies, and world-renowned universities, we are making a significant impact in the industry.
The Role
We are seeking a GRC expert with a background in top consulting or audit advisory firms (Big 4 or Big 10). You will partner closely with our AI team and serve as a GRC Subject Matter Expert (SME). By leveraging your deep expertise, you will provide insights into how GRC assessments are conducted in real-world settings, ensuring our AI replicates accurate human decision-making. Additionally, you will conduct risk assessments and audits, which will be used as training material for our AI models.
Key Responsibilities
GRC Framework Expertise
Use your experience across multiple GRC frameworks to develop, implement, and maintain Zania’s GRC policies.
Integrate best practices from your background at top consulting firms to fortify our compliance processes.
AI Training & Collaboration
Collaborate with the AI development team as the GRC SME to build AI models capable of autonomously performing GRC functions.
Provide detailed insights on conducting human assessments to train the AI with precision.
Risk Assessments & AI Training Material
Conduct thorough risk assessments and compliance audits, documenting them as training materials so the AI can learn to conduct assessments independently.
Compliance Integration

Vendor & Third-Party Risk Management
Assess vendors and third parties for compliance, using these evaluations as additional scenarios and data for AI training.
Cross-Functional Collaboration & Strategy
Lead initiatives across legal, product, and security teams to build a unified GRC approach, aligning AI capabilities with broader business strategies.
Qualifications
7+ years of experience in GRC roles, ideally with exposure to multiple frameworks (e.g., ISO, SOC2, GDPR, CCPA), and a strong background at top consulting firms (Big 4 or Big 10).
Proven ability to develop and implement GRC frameworks and translate them into AI-driven workflows.
Strategic leadership skills that bridge AI and GRC practices, enabling AI systems to perform human-level risk assessments.
Strong analytical and communication abilities, with the capacity to provide clear, actionable guidance for both AI development and compliance strategy.
Passion for working in a fast-paced, tech-driven environment where AI is at the forefront of transforming traditional GRC practices.
