REMOTE Third Party Cybersecurity Risk Assessor
Job Description We are seeking a highly analytical and technically curious Third‑Party Cybersecurity Risk Assessor to evaluate the security posture of external vendors and partners. This role requires a broad understanding of cybersecurity concepts (“inch deep & mile wide”) and the ability to look at controls through a critical, investigative lens. Ideal candidates come from hands‑on technical environments—such as SOC, Help Desk, Firewall Administration, or general cybersecurity operations—and enjoy solving complex problems in real time. Key Responsibilities - Assess third‑party vendors' security controls, policies, and technical environments through questionnaires, documentation review, and direct discussions. - Evaluate controls from a technical and risk-focused perspective—similar to internal assessment work but with an external‑facing lens. - Identify gaps, risks, and areas for improvement across domains such as cloud security, endpoint hardening, identity, network security, and emerging areas like AI and quantum. - Communicate findings to internal stakeholders with clarity and confidence. - Collaborate with vendors of varying technical maturity; ask the right questions to uncover true security posture. - Maintain documentation and support continuous improvement of the Third‑Party Risk Management (TPRM) program. Compensation: $30-40/hour Exact compensation may vary based on several factors, including skills, experience, and education. Benefit packages for this role will start on the 1st day of employment and include medical, dental, and vision insurance, as well as HSA, FSA, and DCFSA account options, and 401k retirement account access with employer matching. Employees in this role are also entitled to paid sick leave and/or other paid time off as provided by applicable law. We are a company committed to creating diverse and inclusive environments where people can bring their full, authentic selves to work every day. We are an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer that believes everyone matters. Qualified candidates will receive consideration for employment regardless of their race, color, ethnicity, religion, sex (including pregnancy), sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, marital status, national origin, ancestry, genetic factors, age, disability, protected veteran status, military or uniformed service member status, or any other status or characteristic protected by applicable laws, regulations, and ordinances.
