GRC TPRM Assessment and Remediation SME

We are seeking an experienced Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) Assessment and Remediation Subject Matter Expert to manage the end-to-end lifecycle of supplier/vendor cybersecurity risk assessments and remediation — from inventory governance through assessment coordination, escalation management, and executive reporting — in a fully remote, client-facing environment. This role serves as the process authority for vendor risk assessments, findings management, and cross-functional remediation, requiring precise, proactive communication to maintain trust with high-visibility stakeholders.

Key Responsibilities

1. Supplier Inventory Management

• Maintain the Supplier Inventory (GRC platform, e.g., SupplierNinja) as the single source of truth for assessment status.

• Tier/filter suppliers requiring reassessment vs. new assessment per program criteria.

• Maintain accurate Direct Responsible Individual (DRI) records in the GRC tool (e.g., OneTrust).

1. Assessment Execution

• Evaluate suppliers against standard frameworks (SIG, CAIQ, NIST CSF, ISO 27001, SOC 2) and validate evidence (audit reports, certifications, pen test results).

• Confirm DRI ownership and obtain kick-off acknowledgement before initiating assessments.

• Log and track assessment tasks in a workflow tool (e.g., Wrike), including acknowledgement evidence.

• Confirm onsite-assessed suppliers have current-year coverage (e.g., in AirTable).

• Participate in recurring findings-review meetings (e.g., CSFA), advising on policy and evidence standards.

1. Remediation Management

• Own Corrective Action Plans (CAPs) end-to-end: define SLAs, track progress, drive closure with vendors and business owners.

• Coordinate with Legal, Procurement, and InfoSec on remediation timelines and compensating controls.

1. Stakeholder Communication & Escalation

• Run a structured outreach cadence with DRIs (kick-off → 3 follow-ups → 3 escalations to management).

• Track response/non-response rates for every outreach cycle.

• Escalate unresolved/high-risk findings to client leadership and track to closure.

1. Weekly Reporting

Deliver a standing weekly metrics report to leadership: outreach volume, response rates, follow-up/escalation status, suppliers approved for (re)assessment, and overall assessment/remediation coverage.

Required Qualifications

• 5+ years in cybersecurity, TPRM, GRC operations, or supplier risk coordination.

• Working knowledge of NIST CSF, ISO 27001, SOC 2, SIG/CAIQ.

• Hands-on experience with GRC/TPRM tools (OneTrust, Archer, ServiceNow GRC, SupplierNinja, or similar).

• Proven ownership of high-volume, multi-step communication workflows with strict tracking/documentation.

• Excellent written communication for remote, client-facing engagement.

• Experience operating in distributed/remote teams.

Preferred Qualifications

• • Certification: CTPRP, CRISC, CISA, or CISSP.

• • Experience with Wrike, AirTable, Jira, or similar tracking tools.

• • Prior experience in regulated industries (financial services, healthcare, insurance).

• • Track record producing leadership-facing weekly reporting.
