Requests may include technical reviews for engineering vendors, compliance and governance checks, and general vendor onboarding or integration support. You will not be responsible for performing technical reviews, but you will coordinate, convey outcomes, and ensure stakeholders are kept informed throughout the process. You will also provide key insights into optimizing our Business Process Engineering. This is a focused, hands-on role designed to provide essential support and accountability for our vendor security operations over an initial six-month period.

• Serve as a point of contact for the Workforce Security team’s vendor security operations, facilitating alignment of requirements, status and updates
• Suggest and implement improvements to processes, documentation, and light automations that support the role
• Manage multiple concurrent requests from numerous and different areas of the corporate environment

Skills For Success

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to convey technical details, process expectations, and security context to a variety of audiences
• Demonstrated ability to manage and coordinate multiple ongoing projects or requests in a fast-paced, complex environment
• Knowledge and experience in the areas of Business Process Engineering (BPE)
• Broad familiarity with information security disciplines and topics in the areas of Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC), Corporate Security, Product Security, and Infrastructure Security
• Willingness to learn the basics of technical, compliance, and governance-related vendor requests; willingness to be proactive in requesting personal clarity and support as necessary
• Experience with Jira and Google Workspace; ability to support or develop light automations (e.g., basic scripting in Python or JavaScript, workflow automations)
• Strong attention to detail and accountability in tracking and following up on operational tasks
• Ability to work collaboratively across numerous teams and adapt to evolving priorities and contexts
• Experience working on an operations team
• Experience with Third Party Risk Management (TPRM) is a plus
