About SmartSuite
SmartSuite is the AI-native work platform for GRC, IT, projects and business operations. Founded in 2021 to replace legacy GRC tools with connected ones, the platform brings data, automation, AI, permissions and reporting together in one governed environment, so risk, compliance, audit and resilience teams can run their programs in a single system of record instead of across dozens of disconnected tools. More than 2,000 organizations in 100+ countries use the platform. The company holds a SOC 2 Type II report and ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification, and is led by builders who have spent decades helping enterprises run governed programs at scale.
What we value

• Customer impact first: outcomes customers can prove, not features we can list.

• Earn trust every day: transparency, security and accountability at the core.
• Move fast, stay responsible: speed and discipline, with reliability, governance and control.
• Build for unified, connected work: connected workflows, data and accountability across teams.
