Subject Matter Expert

Remote

Long term

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.

• Maintain the Supplier Inventory (GRC platform, e.g., Supplier Ninja) 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., One Trust).

• 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 Air Table).
• Participate in recurring findings-review meetings (e.g., CSFA), advising on policy and evidence standards.

• Own Corrective Action Plans (CAPs) end-to-end: define SLAs, track progress, drive closure with vendors and business owners.
• Coordinate with Legal, Procurement, and Info Sec on remediation timelines and compensating controls.

• 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.

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.
