Consulting GRC Jobs 2026 176 Open Roles

Consulting is where GRC scales, and it is about to get a lot bigger. Advisory firms, audit shops, and managed-compliance providers hire constantly for people who can walk into a client, read the risk, and build the program, SOC 2, ISO, NIST, third-party risk, AI governance, across a dozen industries at once. If you like variety, fast cycles, and seeing how a lot of different companies actually run their controls, consulting is one of the widest doors into GRC there is. Watch this category grow.

What these roles pay by level

Median advertised midpoint, by seniority band. Bars are to scale.

Median advertised salary midpoint by seniority level

Mid-level	$128k	9
Senior / lead / manager	$179k	28
Director	$218k	5
Executive / C-suite	$239k	5

How these figures were calculated, and sources

Primary source: our own board. Every figure above is the median midpoint of the salary ranges published in the live postings on this page. Nothing is estimated, modeled, or carried over from a previous month. It is recalculated each time the board refreshes.

What is included. Only postings that publish a salary range. Hourly, weekly and monthly rates are annualised (2,080 hours, 52 weeks, 12 months). Ranges below $20,000 a year are excluded as data-entry placeholders. A seniority band is shown only when at least five postings support it.

What this is not. These are advertised ranges, not accepted offers. Advertised ranges tend to run wider than what is actually paid, and roles that do not publish a range are missing from the calculation entirely, which can bias the result upward.

For an independent benchmark, compare against the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics for SOC 13-2054 — Financial Risk Specialists, published annually at bls.gov/oes. BLS reports actual wages across all employers rather than advertised ranges, so its medians normally sit below job-board figures.
