Senior GRC Lead: Risk & Compliance

Posted: 2026-05-27

WHY ZANIA

Every enterprise spends millions of dollars on Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC). It's one of the most critical, yet universally painful, parts of running a business. For decades, this industry has been dominated by legacy systems with notoriously low NPS scores, making it totally ripe for disruption.

Zania is building agentic AI for Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) to solve this massive problem. We are on a rocketship trajectory, creating intelligent agents that automate and augment the most complex risk and compliance workflows. We have found exceptional product-market fit and are scaling our team very quickly. Some reasons to join Zania are:

- Dream Customers: Our customers are the most notable enterprises in the world, including FAANG, Big 4 firms, and a portfolio of top customers.

- Tier 1 Backing: Funded by a leading Tier 1 venture capital fund. Series A led by NEA, with Anthropic and Menlo Ventures. $18M raised to build a generational company.

- World-Class Team: Zania is hiring the best. Our team includes AI and Security leaders from Airbnb, Microsoft, Bain & Company, Deloitte, PwC, Brex, and Instacart.

- Hyper-Growth: We have seen 10x ARR growth in the last year and are rapidly expanding.

- Competitive Compensation & Equity.

THE ROLE

As a Risk and Compliance Expert at Zania, you are the senior GRC voice our customers rely on. This is a non-technical, customer-facing domain expert role. We are looking for someone with in-depth knowledge of specific GRC domains who can serve as the ultimate compliance authority.

You will own the customer relationship post-sale, leading transformations and implementations. Because you will be interacting heavily with CISOs and VPs of Risk, you must be exceptionally structured in your communication and highly skilled at managing relationships. You will set clear success goals with every customer, drive engagements toward those milestones with urgency, and know exactly when you have landed the outcome you both committed to.

In addition to your customer-facing responsibilities, you will be the GRC depth behind our products. Everything you learn in the field driving implementations will directly shape what Zania builds, ensuring our AI agents behave accurately from a practitioner's standpoint.
