About Us

With $8.1 billion in revenue for 2025, Clayco specializes in the "art and science of building," providing fast track, efficient solutions for mission critical, industrial, life sciences, power & energy, aviation, commercial, institutional, residential and sports & entertainment related building projects.

The Role We Want You For

Under the direction of and in collaboration with the GRC Manager, the Sr. GRC Analyst, Risk Management is the primary owner and operational steward of the Enterprise Risk Register. This role is responsible for ensuring all identified risk is accurately captured, properly rated, assigned to an accountable owner, actively worked, and driven to resolution across the Clayco organization. The analyst functions as the operational hub of the risk lifecycle — from initial intake and classification through remediation coordination, escalation, stakeholder accountability, and reporting. This is a high-accountability, process-driven role that demands both technical depth and organizational influence. The analyst transforms the risk register from a static document into a dynamic governance instrument — one that delivers a clear, current, and quantified view of organizational risk exposure to leadership. Additional responsibilities will be assigned as deemed necessary. Any travel is usually planned in advance, but issues may arise which warrant immediate travel to one or more satellite locations.

The Specifics of the Role

  • Assumes the ownership and maintenance of the Enterprise Risk Register as the authoritative system of record for all identified risks across the Clayco organization.
  • Enforces rigorous data integrity standards: no missing owners, undefined due dates, stale entries, or incomplete risk descriptions.

  • Applies qualitative risk analysis methodologies, including likelihood/impact matrices to produce accurate, prioritized risk ratings.
  • Conducts regular audits of the risk register to surface stale, incomplete, or improperly rated entries and drive timely corrections with risk owners.
  • Maintains comprehensive documentation for each risk, including: risk description, affected assets and systems, threat source, inherent risk rating, current controls, residual risk, treatment decision, assigned owner, and target remediation date.
  • Manages the full risk lifecycle from intake through closure, including periodic re-evaluation of accepted risks to confirm continued acceptability.
  • Serve as the primary coordinator and driver of risk remediation and mitigation activities, ensuring every open risk has an actionable, time-bound treatment plan with a clearly accountable owner.
  • Collaborates with risk owners and technical teams to develop realistic remediation plans that define specific tasks, milestones, resource requirements, and completion criteria.
  • Coordinates corrective and preventive actions (CAPA) arising from audit findings, control failures, and policy exceptions, tracking each to verified closure.
  • Tracks and monitors remediation progress across all open items; proactively identify blockers, resource gaps, and at-risk milestones before they result in missed deadlines.
  • Escalates risks with insufficient remediation progress, missed SLAs, or unacceptable residual risk levels to the GRC Manager and relevant leadership with supporting data and recommended courses of action.
  • Assumes operational ownership of Vulnerability Management and External Attack Surface Management (EASM) processes:
  • In collaboration with SOC, ensures that Vulnerability Scanning output ingested into Workflow platform has high fidelity with accurate association with CI's
  • In collaboration with SOC, ensures that EASM output ingested into Workflow Platform has high fidelity with accurate association with CI's
  • Ensures effective tuning and appropriate scoring of Risk Rating algorithm
  • Ensures effective execution of assignment Rules and track remediation activity
  • Remediates Unknown/Unclassed CI's from scanning output and tune assignment Rules
  • Ensures timely and accurate reporting of active Risk and Vulnerability by severity as well as performance against Remediation targets process.
  • Collaborates cross-functionally with other Information Technology teams and Business Stakeholders across the Organization
  • Engages as necessary in all GRC functions to maintain an understanding of process and procedures
  • Provides leadership with comprehensive reports of compliance-focused activities and outcomes, as requested.

  • Strong experience leveraging auditing principles and methods to evaluate policies, processes, systems, and vendors to identify business risks and control gaps
  • Experience in administering Risk management programs for technology and information security
  • Strong, technical knowledge of modern Systems, Services, Cloud Applications/Platforms, Identity Services, and Data Storage/Handling and their areas of Risk and Threat exposure
  • Experience with administering, maintaining, and leveraging a Risk Register to track and communicate identified Risk and its required remediation
  • Knowledge of statistics, reporting and analytical tools to analyze and solve complex problems
