• Prepare monthly reporting, validate cases where an assessment is not required, monitor changes to Information Risk Questionnaire ratings, and identify or resolve ProcessUnity issues that may affect assessment activities.

Required Qualifications:

• University degree or equivalent combination of education and relevant business experience.
• Three to five years of business analysis, vendor management, third-party risk management, information security risk, or related risk experience.
• Strong organizational, analytical, problem-solving, and record-management skills, with demonstrated attention to detail.
