About the role

The Governance, Risk, and Compliance Analyst is responsible for assisting in assessing third-party risk across Samsara’s new and existing systems and building automated workflows to support a scaling program.

You take Security seriously, but understand there is a business to operate and strive to build low friction solutions and decisions made in close partnership with others. On a typical day, you might work with Samsara’s legal or procurement team to discuss an ongoing review of a vendor, build and refine AI enabled workflows to scale the vendor risk program, and collaborate with teams in engineering to collect evidence for an upcoming audit.

This is a hybrid role based in Bengaluru. We are open to candidates currently residing anywhere within India; however, relocation assistance will not be provided.

You should apply if:

• You want to impact the industries that run our world: Your efforts will result in real-world impact – helping to keep the lights on, get food into grocery stores, reduce emissions, and most importantly, ensure workers return home safely.
• You are the architect of your own career: If you put in the work, this role won’t be your last at Samsara. We set up our employees for success and have built a culture that encourages rapid career development, countless opportunities to experiment and master your craft in a hyper growth environment.
• You’re energized by our opportunity: The vision we have to digitize large sectors of the global economy requires your full focus and best efforts to bring forth creative, ambitious ideas for our customers.
• You want to be with the best: At Samsara, we win together, celebrate together and support each other. You will be surrounded by a high-calibre team that will encourage you to do your best. 

In this role, you will: 

• Work with the local Senior Manager of Security Engineering to provide programmatic updates and communicate both program, third-party, and technical risk to the broader Information Security leadership team
• Drive automation and efficiency in the TPRM program through the use of third-parties, such as Zip and Vanta, and creating native solutions; ensuring security reviews and reassessments scale with company growth.
• Partner with Procurement, Legal, and Privacy to ensure vendor risks are identified, documented, and mitigated throughout the vendor lifecycle.
• Champion, role model, and embed Samsara’s cultural principles (Focus on Customer Success, Build for the Long Term, Adopt a Growth Mindset, Be Inclusive, Win as a Team) as we scale globally and across new offices

Minimum requirements for the role:

• 3+ years of experience in the governance, risk, and compliance space
• Experience implementing or maintaining vendor-risk programs
• Experience performing security and maturity assessments
• Supporting the creation or maintenance of risk registers, compliance inventories, and control mappings across internal and external systems
• Ability to work with systems teams to collaboratively implement security controls across a diverse range of systems, such as Okta, Slack, Salesforce, and internal tooling
• Professional experience coordinating and interacting with external auditors, internal engineering teams, business stakeholders, senior leadership, and security operations teams on procurement activities, audit controls and compliance requirements
• Experience conducting vendor risk assessments, including reviewing security certifications, penetration tests, and policies.
• Strong understanding of vendor integration risks and permission scoping across SaaS platforms (eg. Slack, Google Workspace, and Salesforce)
• Ability to translate complex technical findings and requirements into clear business risks and requirements to non technical stakeholders.

An ideal candidate also has:

• Experience working with NIST Cybersecurity Framework profiles, SOC 2, ISO 27001, or similar frameworks
• Experience creating workflows through automation and AI assitance
• Experience working within common GRC and procurement platforms such as Zip and Vanta.
• Experience managing high volumes of vendor requests and competing priorities.
• Prior assessment experience in the Software-as-a-Service industry
