Grc Executive Director Jobs in Reston, VA (NOW HIRING)

We're looking for a Senior GRC Manager to own our GRC program end to end and keep ClearDATA aligned with HIPAA, GDPR, HITRUST, SOC 2, etc. You'll maintain our Information Security Management Program, manage audit cycles, and work directly with auditors, including keeping policy and compliance documentation accurate as our systems and vendors evolve.

We want someone who treats compliance as a way to help the business move with confidence, not a set of hoops for other teams to jump through. You'll look for the practical, risk-based path to "yes" whenever one exists, and reserve hard stops for when they're truly warranted. This is a hands-on, senior role on our IT/ITSec team. You won't have direct reports, but you won't be working alone either - you'll have security engineers, DevSecOps, and leadership alongside you. We're looking for someone who'd rather build the control mapping than write a memo about who should build it.

Governance, Risk & Compliance

• Maintain ClearDATA's Information Security Management Program: the policies, procedures, and standards behind our security and compliance posture.
• Support audits, assessments, and certification renewals for HIPAA, GDPR, HITRUST, and SOC 2.
• Maintain the risk register, including tracking third-party and vendor risk.
• Keep control mapping and audit evidence current and organized.
• Support incident response planning alongside the IT/ITSec Manager and security team.
• Partner with security engineers and DevSecOps to translate control requirements into how systems are actually built and operated - and to turn what they've built into defensible audit evidence.

Documentation & Audit Liaison

• Update policies and program documentation as systems, vendors, or ownership of shared responsibilities change.
• Work directly with auditors to catch and close compliance gaps before they become findings.
• Flag open risk or outstanding items that need attention.
• Act as the go-to compliance resource across the company - engineering, DevSecOps, management, and executive leadership - helping teams find a workable path forward rather than just pointing at policy, and giving leadership a clear read on where the program stands.

• 5+ years in GRC, IT compliance, or information security compliance, ideally in a regulated industry, in hands-on roles rather than oversight or advisory.
• Direct experience maintaining an Information Security Management Program or similar compliance program.
• Working knowledge of HIPAA, SOC 2, HITRUST, or GDPR; healthcare experience strongly preferred.
• Experience working directly with external auditors.
• Proven ability to work across a technical organization and up to executive leadership - credible with security engineers and DevSecOps on the details, and able to give management and execs a straight answer on risk without burying it in framework language.
• Strong writing skills. You should be comfortable turning operational and technical detail into clear policy language.
• Organized and detail-oriented, able to manage several compliance workstreams at once.
• A pragmatic approach to risk: you can tell the difference between a real compliance issue and a theoretical one, and you'd rather solve a problem than just document it.

• CISA, HITRUST CCSFP, or CRISC certification - useful, but we care more about what you've actually run than what you've been certified in.
• Experience with AWS, Azure, or GCP and related compliance considerations.
• Experience with GRC tooling (e.g., Thoropass, OneTrust, or similar platforms).
• A background that spans both compliance and a technical discipline (IT, security, or engineering), so you can speak both languages.

You'll own a GRC program that matters, at a company where security and compliance are the product, not an afterthought.

About us:

Established in 2009, ClearDATA was born out of a need to address significant inefficiencies within the U.S. healthcare system. From slow data processing to security concerns, these challenges often stood between patients and timely and effective care.

As the healthcare industry began to embrace the public cloud, technology leaders faced a new set of challenges. Organizations found themselves navigating the fast-paced world of cloud innovations, regulatory compliance changes, and looming cyber threats. ClearDATA's founders understood the complexities involved this highly-regulated industry and created the first cloud compliance and security solution exclusively for healthcare.
