Job description

DoorDash's Global Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) team helps the business scale securely through practical risk-based decisions, reliable controls and clear accountability. Our third-party risk program protects the systems and data behind our marketplace across DoorDash, Wolt, and Deliveroo.

About the Role

We're hiring a Security Risk Specialist, who will help run and shape our risk management program and treatment plans, enabling risk and control owners and security teams to keep risk at an acceptable level as the business grows.

You'll also help us build a more proactive risk function - going into specific areas of the business to deep-dive their controls, surface where things have gone wrong, and get ahead of issues before they surface.

You will report into the Senior Security Risk Manager on our GRC team in our Security organization.

You're excited about this opportunity because you will…

• Get into the detail of how controls operate day-to-day, factoring in threat intelligence to make sure we stay ahead of new threat actors and attack vectors
• Manage policy exceptions by building compensatory controls or a case for risk acceptance instead
• Own risk reporting for key areas like security or engineering, becoming the go-to risk contact for at least one and helping reduce risk there in a measurable way
• Collaborate and report widely within our GRC and security teams and across the business
• Help shape our team’s strategy and tooling as we grow by building your own automations rather than waiting on an
