Security Analyst, Third-Party Ecosystem Risk Management

We believe that the way people interact with their finances will drastically improve in the next few years. We’re dedicated to empowering this transformation by building the tools and experiences that thousands of developers use to create their own products. Plaid powers the tools millions of people rely on to live a healthier financial life. We work with thousands of companies like Venmo, SoFi, several of the Fortune 500, and many of the largest banks to make it easy for people to connect their financial accounts to the apps and services they want to use. Plaid’s network covers 12,000 financial institutions across the US, Canada, UK and Europe. Founded in 2013, the company is headquartered in San Francisco with offices in New York, Washington D.C., London and Amsterdam. Team: The Security Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) team is part of Plaid’s security organization, focused on enabling the business by proactively managing information security risks and maintaining effective controls. Our mission is to reduce the likelihood and impact of security risks while operating a robust assurance program that builds trust with our customers, consumers, and data partners.We partner closely across the company to ensure Plaid’s platform remains secure, resilient, and aligned with industry and regulatory expectations. Third-party ecosystem risk is a core part of how we keep Plaid safe—we vet the security of both the vendors we rely on and the customers and partners who connect to our platform, so trust runs in both directions. Role: - You will run security risk assessments for Plaid’s third parties end-to-end—from intake and questionnaire through risk rating, findings, and tracked exceptions. - You will assess the security posture of customers and partners onboarding to the platform with the same rigor we apply to vendors. - You will keep the third-party risk lifecycle moving—risk tiering, reassessment cadence, remediation follow-through, and a clean, current risk register
