About The Position

We’re looking for an organized, detail-oriented contractor to support the monthly execution of our vendor and user access review program. This is a process-driven, administrative role — not a technical security position. The work follows a clear monthly rhythm and is well-suited for someone who thrives on structure, accountability, and getting things across the finish line. You’ll work directly under our security and compliance owner, coordinating with internal stakeholders, maintaining records in Vanta and Jira, and producing a monthly closeout summary. No security certifications or deep technical background required — what matters most is that you’re organized, persistent, and comfortable navigating SaaS tools independently. This engagement is structured around a predictable monthly operating cadence — Week 1 through Week 4 each have defined focus areas — making it easy to plan around your other commitments. Core daytime hours are required. This is an ongoing contract with no defined end date.

Requirements

Background in administrative coordination, operations, or compliance support — not necessarily in a security context.
Demonstrated ability to manage recurring tasks and produce consistent documentation.
Strong written communication skills; ability to produce clear, concise status updates.
Organized and process-driven: You follow checklists, track open items, and don’t let things fall through the cracks.
A self-starter: You can manage a recurring workflow independently with minimal hand-holding.
Communicative: You know when to follow up, when to escalate, and how to get a response from a busy stakeholder.
Comfortable with SaaS tools: You pick up new platforms quickly.
Reliable during core daytime hours: This role requires consistent availability during standard business hours, Monday through Friday.

Nice To Haves

Experience with Vanta, Jira, or similar tools is a plus but not required.
Experience with tools such as Slack, Jira, or audit/GRC platforms is helpful.

Coordinate user access reviews: gather reviewer input, confirm assignments and due dates, and escalate blockers.
Input access review results into Vanta and create follow-up Jira tickets for remediation items such as removing former users or correcting role assignments.
Track and update open risk items with current status, owner, and expected resolution date.
Collect and organize evidence for completed vendor and access review activities.
Deliver a monthly closeout summary covering completed reviews, outstanding items, risks identified, and recommended escalations.
