About OpenRouter

OpenRouter is the leading AI routing and infrastructure layer that enterprises use to access, manage, and optimize the best large language models across providers,without lock-in, capacity constraints, or unnecessary cost.

About the Role

You own our compliance program day to day. Drata and Safebase are yours. SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI DSS, GDPR, CCPA, BIPA, and the EU AI Act are yours. You'll report to the Head of IT & Security, and you'll run the program with very little daily management.

What You'll Do

• Own Drata end to end , administration, integrations, monitoring test health, and manual evidence collection automation.
• Curate the SafeBase knowledge base so sales can self-serve most customer security questionnaires.
• Drive personnel compliance: policy acknowledgments, device compliance, and recurring security and compliance training.
• Lead recurring ceremonies: user access reviews, penetration tests, BCDR and incident response tabletops, annual policy review and updates, risk assessments.
• Work directly with Engineering on product-related compliance questions.
• Maintain audit readiness across SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI DSS, GDPR, CCPA, BIPA, and the EU AI Act.
• Translate emerging AI regulation into controls.
• Partner with HR, Legal, Customer Support, and Finance so compliance fits into work that's already happening.

What We're Looking For

• Several years in GRC or compliance, hands-on.
• At least one SOC 2 audit cycle owned end to end.
• Admin-level fluency in a compliance automation platform (Drata strongly preferred).
• Technical enough to hold a real conversation with engineers about architecture and data flows.
• Proven cross-functional influence.
• Comfortable when requirements shift and precedent doesn't exist.

Nice to Have

• PCI DSS in a startup environment
• HIPAA as a Business Associate
• EU AI Act or other emerging AI regulation
• CISA, CISSP, or CIPP
• First compliance hire experience
• Scripting for evidence collection
