Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) Consultant / Contract / Remote
Our SaaS client in the construction industry is looking for a Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) Consultant.
This is a contract position through the end of the year, and is not expected to extend.
This is a 100% remote position within the United States.
Description: Our client is a fast-growing, high-velocity SaaS company seeking a highly motivated and detail-oriented Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) Consultant for an immediate engagement. In this role, you will be a key contributor to our Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) organization, taking immediate ownership of a critical backlog of vendor risk assessments. We need a consultant who leverages cutting-edge AI tools to accelerate the assessment lifecycle, applying critical analysis to balance our business velocity with our defined risk appetite.
Contract Duration: 6 months through the end of the year.
Required Skills & Experience
• Experience: 5+ years of direct experience conducting complex, end-to-end third-party risk assessments, preferably in a fast-paced SaaS, tech, or regulated environment.
• AI Tool Fluency: Direct, practical experience leveraging LLMs (Cursor, Claude, Gemini) to optimize workflows, analyze long-form documents, and accelerate evidence collection.
• Technical Knowledge: Deep understanding of information security/data protection frameworks (SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST CSF) and global regulations (GDPR, CCPA, and the EU AI Act).
• Platform Proficiency: Hands-on, intermediate-to-advanced experience with OneTrust, including navigating workflows and managing assessment data.
• Critical Analysis & Soft Skills: Exceptional problem-solving abilities. You don't just check compliance boxes; you look at actual architectural risks and can clearly articulate business impacts to stakeholders at all levels.
• Independent Execution: A proven ability to hit the ground running on day one, take total ownership of your queue, and prioritize effectively in a dynamic, high-velocity environment.
Preferred Qualifications
• Relevant certifications such as CRISC, CISA, CISSP, CISM, or CTPRP.
• Familiarity with data analysis and visualization tools like Power BI to support data-driven risk reporting.
What You Will Be Doing
You will be embedded into our client's GRC team, executing the end-to-end TPRM process with a focus on speed, data integrity, and pragmatic risk management:
• Execute the TPRM Process: Conduct comprehensive, end-to-end risk assessments on third parties. Analyze security controls, SOC 2 Type II reports, ISO certifications, and compliance documentation, gathering necessary details directly from vendors.
• Drive AI-Powered Efficiency: Leverage Claude and other advanced AI tools to rapidly parse, summarize, and extract key findings from vendor compliance artifacts, significantly reducing time-to-assessment while highlighting material risks.
• Identify Critical Systems & Assets: Partner with internal technical and business teams to map sensitive data, determine inherent risk, and identify complex processor/ sub-processor relationships.
• Prioritize by Risk Appetite: Categorize third parties (tiering) to guide reassessment depth. Evaluate gaps through the lens of our risk appetite, ensuring we secure our supply chain without unnecessarily blocking business velocity.
• Support Contracting: Partner with our legal and procurement teams to ensure critical security and data protection requirements are accurately captured in vendor contracts.
• Maintain Accurate Records (OneTrust): Document all assessment activities, findings, and mitigation efforts with high data integrity inside our TPRM platform (OneTrust).
• Provide Operational Support: Guide internal business owners and external third parties smoothly through the TPRM pipeline, answering technical questions and resolving bottlenecks.
