Senior Technical Analyst, Third-Party Risk Management
About The Position
As a Senior Technical Analyst, Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM), you’ll assess and monitor technology, cybersecurity, privacy and operational risks associated with third-party service providers.

We’re looking for a strong analytical thinker who can assess vendor security risks, interpret technical documentation and turn findings into practical recommendations. Someone who’s comfortable reviewing security reports, asking thoughtful questions and communicating clearly with both technical teams and business stakeholders. If you have a foundation in information security or cybersecurity, enjoy independent assessment work and can explain complex technical topics in plain language, this could be the role for you.
