About the Role

Checkout.com is actively looking for a highly skilled and proactive Senior Analyst, Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) to join our growing global team.

In this role, you will play a key part in protecting our business by conducting thorough due diligence and risk assessments on our external suppliers. You will work closely with a team of experienced TPRM professionals, reporting to the TPRM Manager, contributing to best practices, ensuring high-quality risk assessments, and being actively involved in strategic process improvements.

If you have a knowledge in vendor risk, an understanding of information security, and a passion for continuous improvement in a fast-paced environment, we want to hear from you.

What You Will Be Doing

• Risk Assessments & Due Diligence: Conduct end-to-end third-party risk assessments, minimum due diligence, and control evaluations.

• Evidence Validation: Review and analyze vendor compliance documentation, including control reports, certifications, and security policies, to validate their cybersecurity and operational resilience postures.

• Gap Analysis & Remediation: Identify control gaps in vendor environments. Collaborate directly with vendors to agree on appropriate remediation actions and track them to completion.

• Workflow & SLA Management: Manage an active pipeline of vendor assessments, ensuring that reviews are completed efficiently, accurately, and within agreed-upon service level expectations.

• Stakeholder Collaboration: Act as a reliable point of contact for internal business owners and Procurement, guiding them through the TPRM process and escalating complex risks to internal Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) or senior team members when necessary.

• Process Improvement & AI Integration: Be actively involved in the wider TPRM team's strategic initiatives, supporting efforts to leverage AI and automation tools, execute system migrations, and maintain data hygiene without the expectation to lead these projects independently.

• Ad Hoc Initiatives: Participate in agile, ad hoc risk management projects as they arise, adapting quickly to business needs and delivering prompt, high-quality results.

About You

• Experience: 3+ years of proven experience in Third-Party Risk Management, IT Risk, IT Audit, or a closely related Information Security Governance role.

• Accountability & Time Management: Highly organized with a strong sense of ownership. You effectively manage concurrent workloads, organize your time seamlessly, and consistently deliver prompt results.

• Team Collaboration: A proactive self-starter who excels at working alongside peers. You will actively collaborate, share knowledge, and support broader team objectives.

• Communication: Excellent written and verbal communication skills. You excel at taking complex technical or compliance concepts and explaining them in plain, actionable language for business stakeholders.

• Problem Solver: Highly analytical with a track record of supporting process standardization and adapting to evolving regulatory landscapes.

• AI & Technical Skills: Experience with, or a strong aptitude for, utilizing Artificial Intelligence (AI) and automation to optimize risk assessment workflows, streamline data analysis, and scale TPRM operations.
