In this role, you will act as a vital back-office translator, leveraging your comprehensive technical security vocabulary to accurately evaluate and respond to complex customer security, risk, and compliance questionnaires.

- Document and Audit: Map internal security protocols against global frameworks to ensure written customer-facing deliverables are robust, accurate, and authoritative.
What We’re Looking For
- Broad Security Foundations: A strong conceptual grasp of Information Security architectures, including Cloud Operations, Linux system fundamentals, and network protocols (you don't need to code it, but you must know how to speak about it fluidly).
- Questionnaire Expertise: Direct, proven experience handling third-party risk assessments (TPRM), security audits, or vendor risk management documentation.
- AI & Cloud Literacy: A strong interest or foundational literacy in data governance and security parameters for Generative AI/Agentic AI solutions.
- Methodical Execution: Self-motivated, meticulous individuals who thrive with minimal supervision and possess an exceptional eye for written documentation detail.
- Framework Familiarity: A solid general understanding of ITIL, ITSM, or standard compliance frameworks (e.g., SOC 2, ISO 27001) is highly advantageous.
Qualifications
- Experience in IT compliance, internal risk audit, IT security analysis, or third-party risk management.
- Generalist industry certifications are a plus but not required (e.g., CompTIA Security+, CISA, Cloud Practitioner, CISSP, CISM, or equivalent).
