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.

We are seeking a Security Risk Management Specialist I to join our Security Risk Management team at Affirm. The Security Risk Management team builds and deploys common governance, risk, and compliance processes and controls, conducts audits, and ensures that technologies and business processes are built with data protection and compliance in mind!

• Support our third party risk program by reviewing vendor questionnaires and identifying and documenting security risks.
• Assist in tracking and resolving gaps pertaining to supply chain security.
• Ensure the data quality and completeness of an extensive inventory of third parties.
• Provide security assurance to client-facing teams by managing Affirm’s trust portal and fulfilling merchant and partner requests for information.
• Help maintain and publish security policies and documentation to promote awareness amongst stakeholders and employees.
• Contribute to, and help curate, metrics and reports on risk indicators, issues, and the efficiency of our operations.

• Curiosity and drive to identify problems and anomalies and find solutions.
• Adept day-to-day time management of different workstreams and ability to respond to shifting priorities.

• Not required, but 1-2 years of experience in risk management, information security, or similar preferred.
