Additional Information

Archer is an aerospace company based in San Jose, California building an all-electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft with a mission to advance the benefits of sustainable air mobility. We are designing, manufacturing, and operating an all-electric aircraft that can carry four passengers while producing minimal noise. Our sights are set high and our problems are hard, and we believe that diversity in the workplace is what makes us smarter, drives better insights, and will ultimately lift us all to success. We are dedicated to cultivating an equitable and inclusive environment that embraces our differences, and supports and celebrates all of our team members. Archer is building the future of urban air mobility - and the integrity of that mission depends on a security posture that is not just defensible, but demonstrable. As we scale our defense programs, certify aircraft with the FAA, and expand our enterprise footprint, the stakes of a control failure or compliance gap are measured in mission impact, not just audit findings. At Archer, information security is woven into the aircraft certification process itself - making this role uniquely consequential in ways that go well beyond a traditional enterprise GRC function. Archer is seeking a Senior Staff Technology Controls & Assurance Lead to serve as a cornerstone of our GRC function, reporting to the Sr. Director of Governance, Risk & Compliance. In this high-visibility role, you will own IS policy development, internal controls governance, risk quantification, and engagement with internal and external audit bodies. You are the person who makes our risk posture legible - to our board, to our auditors, to DoD assessors, and to our own engineering teams. This is not a checkbox compliance role. We expect you to operate with the intellectual rigor of a risk analyst, the communication precision of an executive advisor, and the technical depth to understand what our controls actually do. You will bring both qualitative judgment and quantitative discipline to the risk function - building data-driven KRIs, leveraging AI and analytics to surface themes and outliers, and translating signal into action across the organization.
