About the team

We’re looking for a driven and passionate Senior Security GRC Analyst, reporting to the GRC manager. This role will focus on security risk management, third-party risk assurance, and resilience practices, ensuring risks are actively managed and mitigated in a cloud-first environment.

What you'll be doing

  • Own and operate the security risk management lifecycle: identification, assessment, treatment, acceptance, tracking, and closure
  • Maintain and continuously improve risk registers, issues tracking, control gaps, audit findings, and remediation plans with strong governance
  • Partner with Engineering, Product, IT, Legal, Risk, Security and Operations teams to define realistic risk treatments that support business delivery
  • Propose and drive cloud-native mitigation strategies (preventive, detective, corrective, compensating controls) aligned with best practices and business context
  • Build and mature Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery (BCP/DR) capabilities:
    • define recovery objectives (RTO/RPO) with stakeholders
    • support DR planning and documentation
    • coordinate DR testing and tabletop exercises
    • track improvements and lessons learned
  • Develop and operate a structured Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) program:
    • security questionnaires for RFPs and tier-1 strategic partners
    • vendor risk tiering and ongoing monitoring
    • risk-based security requirements and follow-ups
  • Conduct deep-dive third-party security reviews (architecture, data flows, access models, maturity, incident history, compliance posture)
  • Clearly assess and communicate third-party risk (inherent risk, residual risk, key gaps, recommended mitigations) to enable business decisions
  • Recommend and drive technical and procedural controls to reduce third-party risks (security requirements, contractual safeguards, monitoring expectations, access constraints, encryption/logging requirements)
  • Produce clear reporting for leadership on risk posture, remediation progress, and key risk indicators

Who we are looking for

  • 5–10 years of experience in Security GRC, risk management, IT audit, internal audit, compliance, or risk assurance
  • Strong experience operating a risk register and driving remediation across multiple teams
  • Strong experience with Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM), including deep vendor reviews and RFP security questionnaires
  • Ability to evaluate risk in context (business criticality, data sensitivity, integration scope) and propose pragmatic mitigation strategies
  • Experience supporting or leading Business Continuity / Disaster Recovery planning and testing is a strong plus
  • Strong understanding of cloud security and cloud-first controls (GCP)
  • Strong stakeholder management skills and ability to influence in a collaborative way
  • Strong ability to write clear, structured, and practical documentation and risk assessments
  • Strong organization skills and attention to detail
  • Scripting or automation experience (Python, PowerShell, Bash, APIs, SQL) is a strong plus
  • English is required for writing and documentation. French speaking and reading is a strong plus.

The Reward

  • The A-Team: Work alongside high-performing talent in the industry.
  • Accelerated Growth: The slope of your learning curve here will be vertical. You will touch more production systems in one year than you would in five years at a bank.
  • Top-Tier Coverage: Premium benefits plan fully paid by nesto, including comprehensive insurance and unlimited access to telemedicine and mental health services for you and your family.
  • Rest & Recharge: 4 weeks of vacation to ensure you stay at peak performance.
  • Best-in-Class Tools: Access to the resources and tech you need to execute without friction.
  • Working framework: The environment that makes you productive and enables teamwork (Hybrid model).
