Position Summary:

Day-to-day responsibilities would include a combination of the following: 

• Own the VRM program end-to-end: strategy, policy, procedure, workflow, tooling, metrics, and executive reporting for CISO/CRO/board visibility.
• Lead holistic vendor risk assessments across cybersecurity, AI risk, privacy, financial, AML/CFT/sanctions.
• Document residual risk acceptances with named accountable executives and time-boxed review dates; coordinate with IT, Legal, Finance, and Compliance as appropriate. 
• Evaluate and monitor vendor security controls based on data sensitivity and business criticality, leveraging industry frameworks and evidence such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, penetration testing, and security assessments. 
• Conduct structured threat models (STRIDE, PASTA) for high risk vendors, and document findings as durable artifacts informing contracting, monitoring, and exit planning. 
• Translate threat model outputs into concrete, testable control requirements drawing from OWASP (ASVS, API Security Top 10, LLM/Agentic Top 10), NIST (SP 800-53, SP 800-161, CSF 2.0, SP 800-207), and MITRE ATT&CK; scale requirements to vendor tier. 
• Partner with Legal to translate identified risks into enforceable contractual requirements.
• Apply FAIR or comparable quantitative methods for high-impact vendor decisions, expressing cyber risk in loss-exposure terms that resonate with senior leadership. 
• Advise IT, Engineering and business teams on vendor integration architecture (SSO/SCIM, OAuth, conditional access, DLP, segmentation, BYOK, VPC peering) and maintain approved reference patterns.
• Drive automation and tooling maturity to handle high vendor volume without proportional headcount growth; produce program dashboards tracking throughput, cycle time, recertification compliance, and remediation aging.
