Security Assurance & GRC Lead

About Wispr Wispr is an AI research and product company building the voice interface for computing. AI can now reason, code, and act. Yet, humans still do the work of the interface. We think that’s backwards. Our first products are Flow, which lets you speak naturally in any application, and Notetaker, which builds context across conversations. We’re building toward an interface that can perceive, understand, and take action with earned trust. That means solving hard problems across models, systems, and product - and caring about the final human experience as deeply as the technology underneath it. We’re a talent-dense team that holds strong opinions, tests them quickly, and builds technology that sparks joy. Our goal is to build the first voice interface used every day by a billion people. Wispr Flow is hiring a Security Assurance & GRC Lead to own our customer assurance and compliance programs and decide where they go next. You'll set the GRC roadmap across SOC 2, ISO 27001, privacy, and enterprise customer requirements, and build systems that let the program scale faster than request volume. You'll work closely with our vCISO and with Engineering, Product, Legal, Sales, Customer Success, and Support. Much of the role is customer-facing: you'll lead security conversations with sophisticated buyers, represent our posture accurately (including being direct about gaps), and know when to pull in deeper expertise. On our largest deals you'll engage early, identify likely blockers, and have a plan before the questionnaire arrives. You're the DRI for high-priority security and assurance escalations. The goal: security becomes a reason customers choose us.

Own the GRC roadmap. Define priorities across SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, customer requirements, privacy, and risk management. Enterprise blockers come first, with everything else sequenced by business impact. Lead customer assurance end-to-end. Represent Wispr Flow on calls, in security reviews, and in written responses. Own questionnaires, due-diligence requests, vendor assessments, and RFP security sections through completion, and drive cross-functional resolution on escalations. Never make claims the evidence doesn't support. Get ahead of strategic deals. Engage early on major opportunities, anticipate objections, and build a security plan with Sales. Make security a GTM advantage. Improve the Trust Center, standard responses, and security narratives so customers can self-serve and our posture is easy to understand. Build the system, not just run it. Track turnaround times, recurring objections, and repetitive work, then standardize and automate. Keep Drata, SafeBase, and Linear accurate. Develop the team. Partner with our compliance engineer to build the operating processes together, strengthening process design, prioritization, and follow-through while drawing on their technical and compliance expertise. Feed reviews back into the product. Turn patterns from security reviews into structured input for Product and Engineering on SSO/SCIM, audit logs, permissions, retention, data residency, and AI/data handling. Own the AI security narrative. Customers will ask about model providers, training and data usage, retention, subprocessors, and how their data moves through our system. Answer those questions and keep the answers current as the product changes. When incidents happen, coordinate clear, accurate customer-facing communication (you won't own incident response itself). Keep compliance running. Coordinate audit evidence, track deadlines, maintain controls and policies, drive remediation, and keep the risk register, vendor inventory, and compliance calendar current.

Depth in GRC, security compliance, customer assurance, IT audit, or risk management, with enough range to own both the program and the customer conversation. Experience leading customer security reviews and explaining security to technical and non-technical audiences.
