We are looking for a sharp, detail-oriented GRC & Compliance Analyst.

• Manage new vendor onboarding: risk questionnaires, and external vendor security document requests.
• Produce Vendor Risk Assessment Summary Reports with clear risk ratings and actionable recommendations for stakeholders.
• Coordinate with internal assessment teams (Sweta and assessors) and maintain the full intake-to-report cycle.
• Own continuous monitoring of our vendor risk portfolio and regular report creation of our risk for management review.

AI Governance

• Maintain and evolve the company's AI data classification framework (RED/YELLOW tier model) and Acceptable Use Policy.
• Manage the AI Exception Register; own intake and triage of AI Tool Request & Disclosure Forms, including RED-tier escalation.
• Conduct enterprise AI governance assessments for AI vendors as an extension of the TPRM program.
• Oversee the tool review process and document outcomes for compliance records.

Enterprise Risk Management

• risk register reviews across all business functions; conduct structured risk interviews with functional leads.
• Identify cross-functional risk themes and produce consolidated risk summaries for CFO reporting.
• Own technology residual risk reviews in partnership with the IT function; maintain the enterprise risk register.

Security Incident Response

• Monitor vendor security incidents; prepare briefings for senior leadership (CFO/CEO) when disclosures are received.
• Own the compliance response and documentation for internal incidents, working alongside IT for technical containment and triage.

Research & Analysis

• Collect, update, and analyze data for assigned global locations and supplier targets using both primary and secondary sources.
• Read and interpret annual reports, financial statements, and economic indicators (GDP, inflation, trade data) to assess location and supplier risk.
• Produce high-quality professional research reports, event alerts, and risk briefings with actionable client guidance.
• Monitor global news and geopolitical developments; issue timely event alerts for clients as situations develop.
• Leverage AI tools to improve research, analysis, and reporting efficiency.
• Maintain the Legal, Statutory & Regulatory Requirements Register— covering obligations across the US, Ireland, and India.
• Steward ISMS documentation within the SharePoint Resilience folder; expand and update documentation as the regulatory landscape evolves.

Requirements

• 2–4 years of experience in GRC, compliance, risk management, or business/market research, ideally within a B2B SaaS, BFSI, IT, or BPO environment.
• Demonstrated experience with SOC 2 audits, TPRM programs, or regulatory compliance frameworks (ISO 27001, ISMS).
