The people behind the platform.

Advertised roles, published compensation and the operating work they reveal.

Buyer organisation

Cboe — GRC Platform Principal

Chicago; four office days weekly. Historical: employer page reports filled

$163,625–$211,750 base ; possible incentives and equity

Platform roadmap, configuration, user experience, access controls, releases, integrations and vendor relationships

What it may signal · desk interpretation

A senior operating owner, not merely an implementation coordinator. Does not prove replacement intent. ( careers.cboe.com )

Buyer organisation

Guardian — ServiceNow IRM Manager

New York, Bethlehem, Holmdel or Stamford; three office days weekly. Indexed primary , R000110078

$152,290–$250,195 base , stated for the primary location; possible incentives

Multi-year risk-technology strategy; IRM, business continuity and third-party risk; operations, upgrades, technical debt and mixed internal/external delivery teams

What it may signal · desk interpretation

Buyer organisation

Optum / UnitedHealth Group — Technical Product Owner, Enterprise GRC Platforms

US remote; Houston listed. Page available , requisition 2350071; posted 29 September 2026

$72,800–$130,000 salary

Backlogs, acceptance criteria, release delivery and production stability across Archer, Aravo and Compliance Hub

What it may signal · desk interpretation

Product ownership can cover a portfolio rather than a single consolidated platform. ( careers.unitedhealthgroup.com )

Buyer organisation

Huntington — Senior GRC Software Developer

Multiple US corporate offices; office-based. Page available , R0074582

$57,000–$113,000 base ; incentive eligibility

Develop, test and support GRC applications; implement new and existing platforms; preferred experience includes Archer, OpenPages, ProcessUnity and ServiceNow IRM

What it may signal · desk interpretation

Engineering and production support belong in the operating model. The list of preferred products does not prove all are deployed. ( huntington-careers.com )

Buyer organisation

KeyBank — Archer GRC BA

Brooklyn, Ohio, or US remote listed. Historical: expired 25 June 2026 , R-39119

$96,000–$181,000 base ; incentive eligibility

Requirements, process diagrams, role definitions, testing and ongoing application enhancement

What it may signal · desk interpretation

Business analysis and acceptance testing are distinct delivery responsibilities—not work that should disappear into a generic administrator allowance. ( keybank.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com )

Buyer organisation

FNBO — Sr. Analyst, AI Systems Integration

Omaha; three office days weekly. Indexed primary , R-20261209

$81,662–$134,741 base

Maintain an AI-enabled legal, risk and compliance knowledgebase; refine prompts and workflows; validate outputs; support Archer-related AI capabilities

What it may signal · desk interpretation

AI deployment creates configuration, evaluation and maintenance work as well as potential automation benefits. ( firstnational.wd12.myworkdayjobs.com )

Buyer organisation

Stripe — Security GRC Program Manager, Third Party Risk

US remote. Page available , job 8241288

$131,200–$196,800 base ; other rewards may apply

Supplier assessments, assurance-document review, remediation, risk acceptance and operational reporting; records decisions in Zip and Aravo

What it may signal · desk interpretation

A strong signal of assessment capacity and process improvement, but weak evidence of a new platform purchase. ( stripe.com )

Buyer organisation

Pendo — Sr. GRC Engineer

Raleigh office. Page available , job 8822007002

$133,400–$160,000 advertised annual range

Compliance-programme ownership, AI-assisted evidence and testing workflows, risk prioritisation and incident-response leadership

What it may signal · desk interpretation

“GRC engineer” can describe a broad security role; do not assume it means a dedicated connector developer. ( job-boards.greenhouse.io )

Buyer organisation

Headway — Senior Governance, Risk, Compliance Analyst

San Francisco, New York or Seattle; hybrid. Indexed primary

$161,600–$202,000 base ; possible equity

Establish the GRC function; use modern tooling and evidence automation; experience with platforms such as Vanta, Drata or OneTrust

What it may signal · desk interpretation

A function-building mandate is a stronger readiness signal than routine administration, but does not establish a selected vendor. ( jobs.ashbyhq.com )

Buyer organisation

HUB International — Senior Analyst, Internal Controls & SOX

Chicago. Secondary archive: removed 24 July 2026

$90,000–$110,000 salary

IT controls, SOX scoping and testing, remediation and Workiva system administration

What it may signal · desk interpretation

Platform administration may be embedded in a controls role rather than advertised as separate headcount. ( builtinchicago.org )

Supplier

EY — Risk Consulting, Risk Technology, GRC/IRM Platforms Manager

Page available , requisition 1719982; dated 18 October 2026 ; multiple US locations

$124,900–$229,100 base general US range; $150,000–$260,400 for NYC metro, Washington State and California excluding Sacramento

ServiceNow IRM architecture, implementation, integrations, project leadership and business development

What it may signal · desk interpretation

Ask which named delivery staff are committed to your engagement; a recruitment advertisement is not reserved capacity. ( careers.ey.com )

Supplier

LogicGate — Implementation Services Manager

Chicago or Bellevue; hybrid. Indexed primary; job URL redirected during review

$95,000–$115,000 base , plus variable compensation, equity and benefits

Customer onboarding, concurrent implementation projects, workflow and relational-data configuration, migration support and stakeholder management

What it may signal · desk interpretation

Low-code or no-code configuration still needs delivery and data skills. Confirm the staffing model for the quoted scope. ( job-boards.greenhouse.io )

Supplier

Workiva — Senior Solution Consultant, GRC, Public Sector

US remote. Indexed primary , R12182; pay corroborated by a job-board copy

$156,000–$255,000 OTE , not base salary; commission eligibility and equity separately described

Discovery, demonstrations, RFP support, proofs of concept and technical qualification

What it may signal · desk interpretation

This is commercial capacity. Do not count a presales consultant as the implementation team or interpret the vacancy as a customer purchase. ( workiva.wd503.myworkdayjobs.com )

These are individual advertised ranges, not statistically representative “typical salaries”. Base pay, unspecified salary ranges and on-target earnings are kept separate.

Strong alignment with platform selection, implementation realism, post-launch ownership and three-year TCO. Thirteen distinct role examples include compensation basis, responsibilities, evidence status and cautious demand interpretations. Primary employer and official sources dominate, but several descriptions were accessible only through indexed text, two salary disclosures use job-board corroboration, and historical vacancies are included explicitly. The research does not establish market-wide hiring growth, representative salary bands, actual staffing ratios or approved buyer budgets.
