Sr. Operational Risk & Reporting Analyst

Groq is seeking a Sr. Operational Risk & Reporting Analyst to build GRC risk reporting into a continuous operation that tells leadership a story in business impact terms rather than by control, and to own the third party risk program. You will turn a once-a-year risk exercise into a monthly operating rhythm, and track remediation across every framework in the program.

About Groq

• Purposeful Hiring: You’re not here by accident, and neither is anyone else. Every teammate is handpicked with intention because who we build with matters.
• Builders Wanted: You’re not just riding the rocket ship, you’re building it. Your work directly shapes the trajectory of our company.
• Mission-Driven Work: We’re here to make a real impact. Our mission fuels everything we do.
• Tackling Hard Problems: If easy isn’t your thing, you’re in the right place. We solve some of the most complex and exciting challenges in our space.
• Excellence Is The Standard: High performance isn’t just encouraged, it’s the baseline. And it’s contagious.

Responsibilities

• Build and run GRC risk reporting as a continuous operation: intake, scoring against the risk methodology, treatment tracking, and risk acceptance with owners and expiry dates; centralise risk data (register, KRIs, audit findings, critical vendors) into dashboards leadership can use.
• Produce the monthly risk report to security leadership, framed by business impact rather than control count, with executive-ready commentary.
• Own the third party risk program end to end: vendor tiering, security assessments on the cadence each tier requires, review of vendor SOC 2 and ISO reports, remediation tracking, and clearing the vendor assessment control in GRC tool.
• Track remediation across all frameworks so every open finding has an owner, a date and a disposition, and report aging monthly.

Requirements

• 5+ years in operational risk, IT risk or GRC, including building and running risk assessment and reporting processes end to end in a regulated environment.
• Experience producing monthly risk reporting for risk committees and executives.
• Experience testing controls for effectiveness, evaluating new initiatives for risk exposure before implementation, including third party risk assessments.

Preferred

• Experience with GRC tooling preferred.
