Affirm is reinventing credit to make it more honest and friendly, giving consumers the flexibility to buy now and pay later without any hidden fees or compounding interest. About the Team Affirm values security as being critical to the company's continued success. The Security Risk Management team is evolving beyond traditional governance, risk, and compliance; we are building an engineering driven program that designs, automates, and scales the controls, workflows, and tooling that protect Affirm and our customers. About the Role The ideal candidate will evaluate, build, and refine solutions to third-party risk and security governance challenges across the Security Third Party Program and the broader Security Risk Management program. They are equally comfortable applying security policy to real-world vendor decisions and shipping automation using modern tooling (Python, Cursor, Claude, and other agentic coding platforms) to replace manual GRC work with scalable, code-defined workflows. They will develop deep expertise across the security risk domain, partner closely with business and engineering stakeholders, and play an active role in Affirm's transformation of Security Risk Management from a compliance-oriented function into a security engineering discipline. What You'll Do We are looking for a curious, collaborative Security Risk Management Specialist to help scale Affirm's Third Party Risk Management program through process rigor, hands-on automation, and strong cross-functional partnership. • You will conduct third-party security assessments, reviewing vendor questionnaires, evaluating security controls, and documenting risk findings as a core contributor to Affirm's TPRM program. • You will build and maintain automation to reduce manual GRC workflows, using Python, low-code platforms, and agentic coding tools to improve program efficiency and scale. • You will configure and maintain integrations across ticketing, GRC, and vendor management platforms to support consistent and repeatable workflow execution. • You will partner with Procurement, Legal, Engineering, IT, Compliance, and Privacy on third-party risk reviews, follow-up actions, and risk-informed decisions. • You will help develop and maintain dashboards, metrics, and reporting that give stakeholders clear visibility into third-party risk posture. • You will contribute to process improvements and program documentation that mature Affirm's security governance over time. What We Look For • You have 3+ years of experience in Information Security, Risk Management, Compliance, or a related field. • You are comfortable using agentic coding tools (e.g., Cursor, Claude Code, Copilot) and have working knowledge of Python for scripting or automation. • You have familiarity with cloud environments (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and common cloud security concepts. • You have working knowledge of security frameworks and standards such as NIST, ISO 27001, SOC 2, and PCI DSS. • You communicate clearly in writing and verbally, and can translate security risk concepts for both technical and non-technical audiences. • You hold (or are working toward) a professional certification such as CISSP, CISM, CISA, or CRISC or bring equivalent practical experience. A BA/BS in a relevant field, or equivalent experience, is preferred.
