Job description

We are seeking an experienced Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) Assessment and Remediation Subject Matter Expert to manage the end-to-end lifecycle of supplier/vendor cybersecurity risk assessments and remediation — from inventory governance through assessment coordination, escalation management, and executive reporting — in a fully remote, client-facing environment. This role serves as the process authority for vendor risk assessments, findings management, and cross-functional remediation, requiring precise, proactive communication to maintain trust with high-visibility stakeholders. ________________________________________ Key Responsibilities 1. Supplier Inventory Management • Maintain the Supplier Inventory (GRC platform, e.g., SupplierNinja) as the single source of truth for assessment status. • Tier/filter suppliers requiring reassessment vs. new assessment per program criteria. • Maintain accurate Direct Responsible Individual (DRI) records in the GRC tool (e.g., OneTrust). 2. Assessment Execution • Evaluate suppliers against standard frameworks (SIG, CAIQ, NIST CSF, ISO 27001, SOC 2) and validate evidence (audit reports, certifications, pen test results). • Confirm DRI ownership and obtain kick-off acknowledgement before initiating assessments. • Log and track assessment tasks in a workflow tool (e.g., Wrike), including acknowledgement evidence. • Confirm onsite-assessed suppliers have current-year coverage (e.g., in AirTable). • Participate in recurring findings-review meetings (e.g., CSFA), advising on policy and evidence standards. 3. Remediation Management • Own Corrective Action Plans (CAPs) end-to-end: define SLAs, track progress, drive closure with vendors and business owners. • Coordinate with Legal, Procurement, and InfoSec on remediation timelines and compensating controls. 4. Stakeholder Communication & Escalation • Run a structured outreach cadence with DRIs (kick-off → 3 follow-ups → 3 escalations to management). • Track response/non-response rates for every outreach cycle. • Escalate unresolved/high-risk findings to client leadership and track to closure. 5. Weekly Reporting Deliver a standing weekly metrics report to leadership: outreach volume, response rates, follow-up/escalation status, suppliers approved for (re)assessment, and overall assessment/remediation coverage. Required Qualifications • 5+ years in cybersecurity, TPRM, GRC operations, or supplier risk coordination. • Working knowledge of NIST CSF, ISO 27001, SOC 2, SIG/CAIQ. • Hands-on experience with GRC/TPRM tools (OneTrust, Archer, ServiceNow GRC, SupplierNinja, or similar). • Proven ownership of high-volume, multi-step communication workflows with strict tracking/documentation. • Excellent written communication for remote, client-facing engagement. • Experience operating in distributed/remote teams.
