About the Role

The ideal candidate will evaluate, build, and refine solutions to third-party risk and security governance challenges across the Security Third Party Program and the broader Security Risk Management program. They are equally comfortable applying security policy to real-world vendor decisions and shipping automation using modern tooling (Python, Cursor, Claude, and other agentic coding platforms) to replace manual GRC work with scalable, code-defined workflows. They will develop deep expertise across the security risk domain, partner closely with business and engineering stakeholders, and play an active role in Affirm's transformation of Security Risk Management from a compliance-oriented function into a security engineering discipline.

• Build and maintain automation to reduce manual GRC workflows, using Python, low-code platforms, and agentic coding tools to improve program efficiency and scale.
• Configure and maintain integrations across ticketing, GRC, and vendor management platforms to support consistent and repeatable workflow execution.
• Partner with Procurement, Legal, Engineering, IT, Compliance, and Privacy on third-party risk reviews, follow-up actions, and risk-informed decisions.
• Help develop and maintain dashboards, metrics, and reporting that give stakeholders clear visibility into third-party risk posture.
• Contribute to process improvements and program documentation that mature Affirm's security governance over time.

Requirements

• 3+ years of experience in Information Security, Risk Management, Compliance, or a related field.

• Familiarity with cloud environments (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and common cloud security concepts.
• Working knowledge of security frameworks and standards such as NIST, ISO 27001, SOC 2, and PCI DSS.
• Clear communication skills in writing and verbally, and can translate security risk concepts for both technical and non-technical audiences.
