Staff GRC Risk Specialist at Crusoe: Fueling the AI Revolution Sustainably

Crusoe is on a mission to accelerate the abundance of energy and intelligence. We're building the engine that powers a world where people can create ambitiously with AI — without sacrificing scale, speed, or sustainability. If you're passionate about technology, sustainability, and making a real impact, Crusoe is the place for you.

About the Role

We're seeking a highly skilled and motivated Staff GRC Risk Specialist to own and operationalize our enterprise risk function, focusing on Security Risk, AI Risk, and Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM). This isn't your typical analyst role; it requires a deep understanding of product architecture, AI systems, data flows, and infrastructure to ensure compliance requirements are seamlessly integrated into our platform's design and operation.

As the Staff GRC Risk Specialist, you'll work closely with the Head of GRC to mature our risk management program, maintain the Risk Register, lead technical risk assessments, and deliver strategic risk reporting to leadership. You'll also be responsible for designing scalable, automated GRC workflows that enhance audit readiness, customer trust, and regulatory alignment as our business continues to grow.

A Day in the Life

Here’s a glimpse into what your day-to-day might look like:

• Morning: You might start by reviewing emerging regulations related to AI risk and updating the Risk Register accordingly. You'll then collaborate with the engineering team to assess the risk of a new AI product feature, ensuring security and compliance are baked in from the start.
• Afternoon: You could be building a real-time risk dashboard using a GRC platform, providing stakeholders with a clear view of our risk posture. Following that, you'll lead a vendor risk assessment, ensuring our third-party partners meet our security and compliance standards.
• Evening: You might be preparing an executive-level risk report, highlighting key risks, mitigation efforts, and compliance impact forecasts. You'll also explore opportunities to leverage AI-driven automation to streamline GRC workflows and improve efficiency.
