Senior Security Risk Analyst, GRC

DoorDash's Global Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) team helps the business scale securely through practical risk-based decisions, reliable controls and clear accountability. Our third-party risk program protects the systems and data behind our marketplace across DoorDash, Wolt, and Deliveroo. We're hiring a Security Risk Specialist, who will help run and shape our risk management program and treatment plans, enabling risk and control owners and security teams to keep risk at an acceptable level as the business grows. You will work cross-functionally to achieve business goals by running risk assessments and reporting, supporting exception requests when a policy can't be met, and helping automate the tooling and processes that keep our risk register accurate and trustworthy. You'll also help us build a more proactive risk function. You will report into the Senior Security Risk Manager on our GRC team in our Security organization.
