Compliance Manager - Global Lab Environment
The Compliance Manager will be responsible for developing and implementing security and compliance frameworks across Graphcore's global lab environments. This role focuses on securing sensitive hardware, enforcing access controls, and ensuring that engineering data and infrastructure meet required compliance standards. The successful candidate will play a pivotal role in enabling secure AI hardware development by establishing robust processes around lab zoning, asset tracking, and network segmentation, while collaborating with engineering teams across multiple locations.
Key responsibilities include defining and implementing physical access controls, such as lab zoning and restricted areas, to ensure sensitive hardware is secured and not exposed within lab environments. The role also involves enforcing network division and permission management across mixed infrastructure environments, coordinating hardware asset monitoring, inventory oversight, and chain-of-custody activities. Additionally, the Compliance Manager will support secure lab bring-up and infrastructure deployment activities, implement and scale compliance controls across global engineering labs, and partner with engineering departments to ensure the secure handling of engineering data through approved systems. Supervising and improving compliance with internal security policies and external standards, as well as contributing to the development of secure infrastructure practices within AI and hardware environments, are also key aspects of the role.
The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience implementing physical access control and lab zoning, and have worked in labs, data centers, or hardware engineering environments. Practical experience with network segmentation and access control, as well as experience running hardware asset tracking, inventory, and custody, are essential. Experience working in secure infrastructure or lab bring-up environments, along with a strong understanding of operational security controls in technical environments, is also required.
