Description

  • Own and evolve Security Governance: maintain security policies, standards, and control frameworks (e.g., NIST CSF, ISO 27001) and map them to compliance requirements (SOC2, PCI, applicable regulations).
  • Lead program maturity planning and roadmaps, and run cross‑functional governance forums such as security steering committee and risk council.
  • Define and enforce security risk appetite and decision criteria for third‑party relationships, integrations, and high‑risk vendor decisions.
  • Lead the Security TPRM function across the vendor lifecycle: intake/onboarding, due diligence (IRQ/DDQ/SME reviews), contracting handoffs, ongoing monitoring, periodic reviews, and offboarding.
  • Ensure robust fourth‑party oversight (subprocessors) and manage remediation and QA cycles driven by Internal Audit and regulators.
  • Own program KPIs, dashboards, and reporting (Jira STPRM Ops, AuditBoard, Sigma/BI, MetricStream) and drive improvements in throughput, turnaround, backlog age, and remediation velocity.
  • Partner with Automation/TPRM Ops to operationalize threat‑modeling outputs, integration inventories, pre‑integration gates, CI/CD checks, and prioritize automations to reduce manual effort.
  • Implement and maintain QA processes, runbooks, SOPs for ticket ownership, and evidence standards to ensure consistent operations and auditability.
  • Build, coach, and scale the Governance and TPRM teams, and act as the primary security contact for Legal, Procurement, Privacy, Product, and Engineering while representing Security in executive, audit, and regulatory forums.

Requirements

  • 7+ years in information security, risk management, or GRC roles, with a minimum of 3 years managing teams or equivalent leadership experience.
  • Demonstrated ownership of a TPRM program or security governance program in a regulated or high‑growth technology environment (fintech preferred).
  • Strong knowledge of security frameworks (NIST, ISO) and compliance standards (SOC2, PCI), and vendor risk processes including IRQ/DDQ/SME assessments.
  • Hands‑on familiarity with TPRM/GRC tooling and observability platforms such as AuditBoard (or equivalent), Jira, and BI tools (Sigma/Tableau/Looker), and experience with integrations/APIs.
  • Proven experience translating audit findings into operational remediation plans and measurable outcomes, and serving as a liaison for Internal Audit and external assessments.
  • Practical experience with threat‑modeling approaches and third‑party integration security (API security, SSO/OAuth/SAML, TLS).
  • Experience scaling automation for GRC/TPRM programs and integrating security checks into CI/CD pipelines.
  • Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills across Legal, Procurement, Engineering, Product, and executive leadership.
  • Certifications such as CISSP, CISM, CRISC, or similar (preferred).
  • Prior experience in fintech or other highly regulated industries (preferred).

Benefits

  • CAN base pay range: $198,000 - $248,000 per year, with base pay part of a total compensation package that may include equity rewards.
  • Equity opportunities and an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP) to buy Affirm shares at a discount.
  • Monthly stipends for health, wellness, and technology spending (Flexible Spending Wallets).
  • 100% subsidized medical coverage and coverage for dental and vision for you and your dependents.
  • Remote‑first work environment with flexibility to work almost anywhere within the country of employment and occasional office presence for proximal roles.
  • Competitive vacation and holiday schedules to support time off and recharge.
  • Inclusive interview experience with reasonable accommodations and fair‑chance hiring considerations where applicable.
