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.
