Responsibilities

• Assess third parties and vendors globally for compliance with contractual agreements, security requirements, industry best practices, and regulatory obligations.

• Raise information requests where vendor or business responses are incomplete, and maintain accurate, comprehensive assessment records in an online GRC/TPRM platform (e.g., OneTrust).
• Proactively identify gaps or conflicts in existing processes and drive remediation of control deficiencies identified during assessments.
• Monitor assessment timelines, vendor record expiry dates, and reassessment cadences to keep the third-party risk register current.
• Assess potential business changes (new engagements, scope changes, offboarding) for impact to third-party compliance obligations.
• Maintain the Elsevier's Trust Center, curating and publishing customer-facing security documentation: certifications, policies, whitepapers, product details, and FAQs; to accelerate customer due diligence.
• Respond to inbound customer and prospect security questionnaires (e.g., SIG, CAIQ, custom RFP/RFI security sections), partnering with sales, legal, product owner(s), and security to deliver accurate, timely responses.
• Support internal and external audit inquiries related to third-party risk, Trust Center content, and customer due diligence requests.
• Serve as a trusted point of contact for customers and prospects seeking assurance on Elsevier's security and compliance posture.
• Build strong relationships with business partners (Legal, Procurement, Privacy, and Product teams) and vendors; facilitate continuous improvement aligned with operational processes.
• Contribute to the maturation of processes governing third-party risk, data classification, and data handling requirements.
• Manage day-to-day communication with stakeholders and vendors, escalating concerns, queries, or issues to security leadership as appropriate, including suggested service and process improvements.
