The Opportunity: As a risk specialist, you’re driven to understand how uncertainty shapes outcomes—diving into root‑cause drivers, assessing exposures, and developing recommendations that strengthen program performance. We need a specialist like you to help our business teams enhance decision-making by applying structured risk analysis, maturing risk governance, and elevating the effectiveness of our GSC Risk Gate process.

Responsibilities

• Evaluate supplier and product risks in leading supplier risk management platforms to identify emerging risks, quantify potential impacts, and develop mitigation strategies.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams consisting of technical experts, program managers, security specialists, and mission stakeholders to interpret risk indicators and support decision forums.
• Develop written risk assessments, executive summaries, dashboards, metrics, or trend analyses to support management decisions.
• Contribute to program reviews that inform management decisions and support continuous improvement of the Risk Gate process.

Requirements

• 2+ years of experience with performing risk assessment, due diligence, supply chain risk management, or analytical activities.
• Experience supporting structured risk processes, including risk identification, characterization, scoring, mitigation planning, and escalation.
• Experience with evaluating supplier or third-party risk indicators, including ownership, beneficial ownership, foreign affiliations, adverse media, sanctions, regulatory, cybersecurity, financial, or operational concerns.
• Experience developing written risk assessments, executive summaries, dashboards, metrics, or trend analyses to support management decisions.
• Knowledge of enterprise or supply chain risk management principles and frameworks.
• Ability to apply critical thinking and analytical judgment to assess source credibility, reconcile conflicting information, and distinguish material risk indicators from false positives, duplicative findings, or immaterial information.

Skills

• Knowledge of Microsoft Office applications, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Project.
