We're partnering with a leading client to find a Cybersecurity Risk Analyst to join their IT Security team. Their risk practice is growing, and you'll be the person who keeps it running every day. You'll own the recurring work that keeps risk visible and under control: assessments, vendor reviews, reporting, and follow-through. If you like turning process into steady, reliable results, this role gives you real ownership from week one.
What You'll Own
• You'll run the daily operations of the risk program, known as BAU (business as usual): the recurring work that keeps the organization secure and compliant after tools and processes are in place.
• You'll have the opportunity to lead third-party risk management (TPRM), from vendor assessments and security questionnaires to follow-up on open findings.
• You'll conduct risk assessments across systems, vendors, and business processes, and document clear outcomes.
• You'll keep the risk register, dashboards, policies, and procedures current so leadership always sees an accurate picture.
• You'll coordinate audit and compliance activities by collecting evidence, checking controls, and closing findings.
• You'll work directly with the IT Security Manager to improve the processes that support risk work.
What You Bring
Must-haves:
• 4+ years of experience in cybersecurity risk, IT risk, or GRC (governance, risk, and compliance)
• Hands-on experience running third-party or vendor risk assessments
• Experience supporting recurring operations such as access reviews, vulnerability tracking, and audit evidence collection
• Process-driven work habits, with a record of documenting and improving repeatable workflows
• English at C1 level or above, so you can present risk findings and work with US stakeholders
Nice-to-haves:
• Familiarity with frameworks such as NIST or ISO 27001
• Experience with GRC or risk tooling
What We Offer
• Fully remote work, payments in USD throught Deel.
• Contract engagement as an independent contractor
• Direct access to the IT Security Manager who shapes the risk program
• A seat in a risk practice that is growing, with room to improve how things are done
About the Team
You'll join a small IT Security team led by the IT Security Manager, who is expanding the risk function. The work centers on steady, dependable operations, with plenty of room to improve processes as you go. If you want ownership of a program while it scales, this is a good place to do it.
