About the role

You will conduct third-party risk assessments, track control gaps and remediation to closure, monitor high-risk vendors, and support broader cyber risk assessment activities.
You will partner with business units and stakeholders to identify and assess security issues and gaps, communicate impact, and help drive remediation actions and timelines.
The Cybersecurity Risk team is responsible for cybersecurity risk assessments, security exception management, TPRM, and partner eco-system security.

Third-Party Risk Assessments: Conduct security risk assessments for third parties - including cloud service providers, SaaS platforms, technology partners, and infrastructure providers - across the third-party lifecycle (intake, due diligence, ongoing monitoring, and offboarding).
Issue and Remediation Management: Identify, document, track, and drive remediation of control gaps and security risks through remediation, exception, or formal risk acceptance, and escalate when risks or remediation efforts are insufficient or delayed.
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with Legal, Procurement, Security, Privacy, and business owners to ensure third-party risks are appropriately documented, communicated, accepted, or mitigated.
Documentation and Reporting: Maintain accurate third-party records, assessment results, and issues within the system of record, and support preparation of metrics, dashboards, and management reporting.
Broader Risk Support: Support principal-level risk assessment activities as needed - including security exception reviews and internal control assessments - working under the direction of the Principal Program Manager.
Continuous Improvement: Contribute to the maturation of TPRM processes, procedures, and best practices, and support other risk, governance, and program activities as needed.
Our approach enables our teams to deepen connections, maintain a strong community, and do their best work.

5+ years of experience in governance, risk, and compliance (GRC), including third-party / vendor risk management.
2+ years of experience conducting security or third-party risk assessments across the vendor lifecycle.
Bachelor's degree in a relevant discipline such as Information Security, Computer Science, Risk Management, Business, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
Working knowledge of security and risk frameworks such as NIST CSF, ISO 27001, SOC 2, PCI DSS, and SIG.
Familiarity with GRC / TPRM platforms and security-ratings services (e.g., OneTrust, Archer, ServiceNow, Vanta, BitSight, SecurityScorecard, RiskRecon).
Ability to review and interpret technical assurance evidence (e.g., SOC 2 Type II reports, penetration testing results) to evaluate vendor control effectiveness.
Understanding of qualitative risk analysis and the ability to translate risk into clear business impact.
Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to work with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
We know that flexibility can take shape in many ways, so rather than a number of required days in-office each week, we simply spend at least half (50%) of our time each quarter in the office or in the field with our customers, prospects, and partners (depending on role).
