Position Summary:

The Vendor Risk Manager owns the end-to-end third-party risk lifecycle, onboarding, diligence, monitoring, and exit across a high-volume, diverse vendor portfolio. You will synthesize risk across cybersecurity, AI, privacy, financial, and AML/CFT/sanctions domains into clear, actionable risk positions, performing structured threat modeling for high-exposure vendors.

Day-to-day responsibilities would include a combination of the following:

Own the VRM program end-to-end: strategy, policy, procedure, workflow, tooling, metrics, and executive reporting for CISO/CRO/board visibility.
Lead holistic vendor risk assessments across cybersecurity, AI risk, privacy, financial, AML/CFT/sanctions.
Document residual risk acceptances with named accountable executives and time-boxed review dates; coordinate with IT, Legal, Finance, and Compliance as appropriate.
Evaluate and monitor vendor security controls based on data sensitivity and business criticality, leveraging industry frameworks and evidence such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, penetration testing, and security assessments.
Conduct structured threat models (STRIDE, PASTA) for high risk vendors, and document findings as durable artifacts informing contracting, monitoring, and exit planning.
Translate threat model outputs into concrete, testable control requirements drawing from OWASP (ASVS, API Security Top 10, LLM/Agentic Top 10), NIST (SP 800-53, SP 800-161, CSF 2.0, SP 800-207), and MITRE ATT&CK; scale requirements to vendor tier.
Partner with Legal to translate identified risks into enforceable contractual requirements.
Apply FAIR or comparable quantitative methods for high-impact vendor decisions, expressing cyber risk in loss-exposure terms that resonate with senior leadership.
Advise IT, Engineering and business teams on vendor integration architecture (SSO/SCIM, OAuth, conditional access, DLP, segmentation, BYOK, VPC peering) and maintain approved reference patterns.
Drive automation and tooling maturity to handle high vendor volume without proportional headcount growth; produce program dashboards tracking throughput, cycle time, recertification compliance, and remediation aging.

The ideal candidate will possess the following knowledge, skills, attributes, and values:

Expert knowledge of third-party/vendor risk management
Strong risk assessment and analytical skills
Technical understanding of enterprise security architecture
Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills
Proven ability to lead and optimize vendor risk programs

Qualifications:

Bachelor’s degree in Information Security, Risk Management, Computer Science, Cybersecurity, or a related discipline.

Experience managing the full third-party/vendor risk lifecycle, including vendor onboarding, due diligence, risk assessments, continuous monitoring, recertification, remediation tracking, and vendor exit planning, with at least 2 years owning an end-to-end TPRM program.
