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.

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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
