Design & Execute end-to-end cybersecurity third-party assessments for strategic and high-risk vendors, including questionnaire reviews, technical evidence validation, architecture reviews, cloud configuration analysis, IAM assessments, encryption and key management reviews, logging/monitoring validation, and vulnerability/penetration test interpretation.
Produce repeatable processes that create clear, prioritized risk findings and remediation guidance tailored to vendor risk and business impact.
Design, build, and maintain automated assessment capabilities: evidence collection scripts, API connectors, ETL pipelines, data validation routines, and integration points with TPRM/GRC platforms (Aravo, ServiceNow GRC, RSA Archer, OneTrust, etc.).
Develop and deploy agentic AI components (e.g., automated evidence triage, document ingestion and extraction, risk-scoring assistants, remediation suggestion agents) while ensuring safe, auditable, and privacy-preserving behavior.
Lead lean process improvement initiatives across the assessment lifecycle: map value streams, eliminate waste, reduce handoffs, optimize SLAs, and implement continuous improvement cycles to increase throughput and quality.
Create and maintain technical assessment artifacts: standardized templates, evidence matrices, technical checklists, assessment playbooks, and scoring rubrics that support repeatability and auditability.
Validate and tune automated scoring models and AI outputs; perform periodic calibration and manual reviews to ensure accuracy and reduce false positives/negatives.
Collaborate closely with Procurement, Legal, Security Operations/CIRT, Privacy, and other business stakeholders to ensure technical assessment findings map to contractual requirements and incident response expectations.
Support remediation verification and re-assessment - use automation to track evidence submission, validate fixes, and update risk status.
Maintain strong documentation & processes to support change management of automation logic, AI agent behaviors, data mappings, integration schemas.
Stay current on emerging attack techniques, supply chain threats, automation best practices, responsible AI controls, and lean methods; propose and implement improvements.

Requirements

5+ years of cybersecurity experience with at least 3 years focused on third-party/vendor security assessments or equivalent technical assessment roles.
Deep hands-on expertise reviewing technical artifacts: cloud console evidence (AWS/Azure/GCP), architecture diagrams, IAM configurations, network security, encryption, logging/monitoring, vulnerability scans, and penetration test reports.
Proven ability to translate technical findings into concise executive-level summaries and remediation plans; excellent written and verbal communication skills.
Demonstrated experience applying lean principles or continuous improvement methods to operational processes - ability to run value stream mapping, define and measure waste, and implement sustainable improvements.
Comfortable working independently as a senior individual contributor and coordinating across technical and non-technical stakeholders; experience in agile environments and using agile tooling (ADO, JIRA).
