Senior GRC Consultant — Federal & Complex Frameworks

Sprinto is an Autonomous Trust Platform that centralizes trust requirements across security frameworks, vendors, and customers.

Sprinto autonomously executes tasks needed to maintain trust across compliance, audits, risk management, vendor risk, privacy, and AI governance, enabling organizations to maintain a strong, reliable trust posture without draining operational bandwidth and resources on repetitive tasks.

Backed by top-tier investors such as Accel, Elevation, and Blume Ventures, we’ve raised $31.8M in funding to fuel our mission. Trusted by over 3,000 organizations across 75 countries, Sprinto helps organizations stay audit-ready, manage real-time risks, and scale fearlessly. With 300+ native integrations and AI-driven automation, Sprinto supports 200+ global security standards natively, including SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and more. Sprinto's extensible architecture enables organizations to build and support an infinite number of custom integrations and frameworks.

Founded in 2020 by second-time founders Girish Redekar and Raghuveer Kancherla, Sprinto powers compliance for organizations like Whatfix, Encora, Anaconda, Whatnot, Ultrahuman, WeWork, Everstage, AI Foundation, HackerRank, and many more.

Life as a Sprinter :

Nobody succeeds at Sprinto by staying in their lane.

We are organized around problems, not job titles. Sprinters take ownership beyond their role, solve hard problems, and care deeply about the impact they create. If something can be improved, fixed, or built, we don't wait for permission; we step in.

Being remote means we rely less on proximity and more on trust. We write things down, communicate openly, and move quickly because great teams aren't built by sitting together, they're built by pulling in the same direction.

We believe progress beats perfection, feedback is a gift, and doing the right thing matters, even when nobody is watching.

And while we move with urgency, we never move alone.

The mission of this role :

Deep technical authority for the most demanding frameworks in Sprinto's portfolio — FedRAMP, CMMC, HITRUST, and the NIST family. Owns delivery for engagements where the customer's contractual or regulatory standing (e.g., DoD eligibility, federal ATO) is directly on the line, and where mistakes are expensive and hard to reverse

Where you'll Leave Your Mark / Things You'll Build

Deliver

• Lead delivery of FedRAMP readiness/authorization support, CMMC Level 1–3 assessments and gap remediation, HITRUST r2 validated assessment preparation, NIST 800-53/800-171 control implementation and SSP development, and NIST CSF maturity assessments.
• Provide pre-sales technical validation on federal/complex opportunities — these deals typically need scoping rigor before contract that standard-framework deals don't.

Build reusable IP

• Build and maintain control-mapping libraries, SSP templates, POA&M templates, and evidence-collection playbooks calibrated to the depth federal frameworks require.
• Track framework revisions (NIST 800-53 Rev 6, CMMC rule finalization, FedRAMP 20x, etc.) and translate changes into playbook updates promptly — these frameworks move on regulatory timelines, not product timelines.

Own commercial outcomes

• Define pricing for federal/complex engagements, reflecting higher complexity and duration than standard-framework work.
• Own margin and utilization on your engagement book; forecast capacity against a specialized, harder-to-backfill skillset.

AI-enabled productization

• Build AI-assisted control-mapping and evidence-review playbooks, with heavier human-review gates than standard frameworks warrant given ATO/certification consequences.

Quality & risk

• Define QA guardrails specific to federal work: accuracy is non-negotiable given the downstream consequence (loss of certification/authorization eligibility).
• Set clear boundaries/disclaimers on what Sprinto's assessment does and doesn't guarantee toward formal certification/authorization outcomes.

The kind of builder we're looking For

Experience

• 5+ years in federal/defense-adjacent compliance consulting, or as an ISSO/ISSM, FedRAMP 3PAO assessor, or CMMC C3PAO assessor.
• Has taken systems through an actual ATO, FedRAMP authorization, or CMMC certification — advisory-only experience isn't sufficient here.

Domain mastery

• FedRAMP (Moderate/High baseline), CMMC L1–L3, HITRUST r2, NIST 800-53, NIST 800-171, NIST CSF.
• OSCAL/SSP structural familiarity is a plus.

AI-enabled workflow proficiency

• Demonstrated use of AI tools to reduce manual effort and standardize deliverables.
• Able to translate domain expertise into reusable templates and guided systems.

Operator strengths

• Comfortable owning pricing and margin on a lower-volume, higher-ACV book.
• Excellent written communication for SSP/POA&M-grade documentation.
• Strong judgment under regulatory ambiguity.

Preferred

• CISSP, CISA, CMMC-RP/CMMC-CCA, FedRAMP-recognized assessor training, NIST 800-171 assessor certification.

Success metrics

• Utilization % and gross margin on federal/complex engagements (benchmarked separately from standard frameworks — expect fewer, longer engagements).
• Delivery cycle time and QA pass rate, calibrated to 6–12+ month authorization timelines rather than weeks.
• Customer outcome rate (successful authorization/certification progression).
• Deal-unblock impact on federal/regulated opportunities Sales/SE couldn't close without this expertise.

You will enjoy Sprinto if

• Stepping in before someone has to step up.
• Wearing multiple hats without counting them.
• Leaving egos at the door and winning as one team.
• Taking the harder right over the easier wrong.
• Shipping, learning, repeating.
• Staying curious and never staying in your lane.

How we care for our Sprinters

• Work wherever you are: We are 100% remote, so you get to choose if you want to work from home, a cafe, the hills, or the beach.
• Co-working, on the house: If co-working is your jam, we offer a generous annual allowance.
• We care about your learning: We are invested in seeing you grow and commit USD 1,000 annually to help you level up your skills.
• We count your spark, not your leaves: Unlimited leave so you can reset when you need to.
• Your Safety Net, Woven In: Health insurance with coverage up to INR 10 lakh for you and your family, accident protection of an additional INR 10 lakh, and life insurance worth 3x your annual salary.
• Workspace setup of your dreams: We chip in INR 35,000 to help you build a setup that works for you
