The Austin GRC market
Austin runs two GRC markets at once. The technology sector brings AI governance, privacy and security compliance work at companies that build the systems everyone else has to govern. The State of Texas brings public sector risk, audit and policy roles with a different pace and a different set of rules. Dell and Tesla anchor the manufacturing side, and the University of Texas carries the research compliance and higher education governance load.
Key sectors: technology, semiconductors, state government, and healthcare. On the board now: 10 local and 0 remote-eligible jobs.
BLS put the 2024 median at $78,420. In 2026, market trackers show averages from roughly $99,000 to $120,000, with the top quartile above $160,000. Financial centers and senior governance roles sit at the top of that range.
