Genesis10 is currently seeking a Data Analyst I for a 6 month contract role with our client in the retail industry in Richfield, MN. This role is hybrid. Tell us about your department: The Third-Party Risk Management team evaluates the overall risk posture of all our Goods Not For Resale (GNFR) vendors. This includes assessing responses to our vendor risk questionnaires and comparing them against the expectations outlined in our Vendor Privacy and Security Policy (contract addendum). While Information Security remains a primary focus, our reviews also encompass other critical risk domains such as business continuity and disaster recovery (BCDR), financial stability, ethics and legal compliance, labor and environmental practices, and brand/reputational risk. We leverage both internal and external subject matter experts to support our assessments and address any concerns that arise. When we identify gaps between contractual obligations and vendor performance-particularly in non-Information Security areas-we document these as findings. These findings require remediation by the vendor and must be communicated effectively to business owners, Procurement, and the vendors themselves. As such, analysts must be adept at tailoring communications for diverse audiences. Our team collaborates closely with Information Security, other Enterprise Risk and Compliance (ERC) teams, Procurement, Legal, and business stakeholders to ensure a comprehensive and aligned approach to third-party risk management. As an Analyst on the Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) team, you'll help protect the interests of Client and its customers by identifying areas of risk or reputational harm arising from third party partnerships. You'll play a critical role to ensure that customer, company, and employee information is secure. You'll also enable technology and business teams throughout Client to innovate, drive sales and provide superior customer care by using a multi-disciplinary risk approach.
