The Public Sector GRC market

In the public sector you are not just following the rules, you are part of the machine that makes them. Government agencies, transit and infrastructure authorities, and the civic-tech firms that serve them hire steadily for compliance, risk, privacy, audit, and information security built around FISMA, FedRAMP, NIST, and public-records and accountability rules. The work is stable and mission-bound, and as agencies pick up AI and modern data systems, the need for oversight talent keeps climbing. If you want your work to serve the public directly, the civic GRC market is wide open.

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 Advertised ranges tend to run wider than what is actually paid, and roles that do not publish a range are missing from the calculation entirely, which can bias the result upward.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 13-1041 — Compliance Officers, 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.
