Senior Security Assurance Specialist

Snyk is the leader in secure AI software development, helping millions of developers develop fast and stay secure as AI transforms how software is built. Our AI-native Developer Security Platform integrates seamlessly into development and security workflows, making it easy to find, fix, and prevent vulnerabilities — from code and dependencies to containers and cloud.

Our mission is to empower every developer to innovate securely in the AI era — boosting productivity while reducing business risk. We’re not your average security company - we build Snyk on One Team, Care Deeply, Customer Centric, and Forward Thinking.

It’s how we stay driven, supportive, and always one step ahead as AI reshapes our world.

Why this role?

Join a high-impact team that protects Snyk’s global risk posture while enabling revenue growth.

This role combines customer security assurance with third-party risk management in one expanded opportunity. You will partner with Sales, Legal, Engineering, Security and Procurement, showcase Snyk’s security capabilities to enterprise customers and use advanced AI tools to keep our programs ahead of the curve.

What You’ll Do:

• Lead customer security and compliance calls that help close deals worldwide.
• Use AI platforms such as Vanta and Gemini to streamline and improve GRC operations.
• Manage the third-party risk lifecycle including onboarding, assessments, contract reviews, monitoring and off-boarding.
• Collaborate with Product, Security, Engineering and Sales to resolve complex security requests.
• Respond to due-diligence questions and present security concepts clearly to technical and business audiences.
• Review vendor evidence such as SOC 2 and ISO 27001, assign risk tiers and schedule periodic reviews.
• Maintain the Trust Portal ensuring FAQs and assurance materials are accurate and current, and reviewing and approving access requests.

What You Bring:

• Minimum 5 years experience in GRC, security assurance or compliance, ideally within a SaaS environment.
• Proven experience supporting enterprise sales cycles and engaging directly with customers.
• Hands-on third-party risk management expertise. 
• Working knowledge of ISO 27001, ISO 27017, SOC 2, NIST CSF or 800-53, GDPR and FedRAMP.
• Familiarity with Jira workflows and GRC platforms such as Vanta.
• Strong communication skills with the ability to simplify technical topics for diverse audiences.
  
  

It’d Be Awesome If You Also… 

• Have a CISSP, CISA, CISM or CGRC and maybe a few others you picked up “for fun.”
• Enjoy experimenting with AI tools and prompt engineering to make work smarter.
• Love finding creative ways to simplify security concepts for any audience.
• Thrive in lively discussions and keep collaboration upbeat, even on a deadline.
