Job Description
At Samsara, we embrace a flexible working model that caters to the diverse needs of our teams.
Key Responsibilities
- The Governance, Risk, and Compliance Analyst is responsible for assisting in assessing third-party risk across Samsara’s new and existing systems and building automated workflows to support a scaling program.
- You take Security seriously, but understand there is a business to operate and strive to build low friction solutions and decisions made in close partnership with others. On a typical day, you might work with Samsara’s legal or procurement team to discuss an ongoing review of a vendor, build and refine AI enabled workflows to scale the vendor risk program, and collaborate with teams in engineering to collect evidence for an upcoming audit.
- This is a hybrid role based in Bengaluru. We are open to candidates currently residing anywhere within India; however, relocation assistance will not be provided.
- Work with the local Senior Manager of Security Engineering to provide programmatic updates and communicate both program, third-party, and technical risk to the broader Information Security leadership team
- Drive automation and efficiency in the TPRM program through the use of third-parties, such as Zip and Vanta, and creating native solutions; ensuring security reviews and reassessments scale with company growth.
- Partner with Procurement, Legal, and Privacy to ensure vendor risks are identified, documented, and mitigated throughout the vendor lifecycle.
- Champion, role model, and embed Samsara’s cultural principles (Focus on Customer Success, Build for the Long Term, Adopt a Growth Mindset, Be Inclusive, Win as a Team) as we scale globally and across new offices
Requirements
- 3+ years of experience in the governance, risk, and compliance space
- Experience implementing or maintaining vendor-risk programs
- Experience performing security and maturity assessments
- Supporting the creation or maintenance of risk registers, compliance inventories, and control mappings across internal and external systems
- Ability to work with systems teams to collaboratively implement security controls across a diverse range of systems, such as Okta, Slack, Salesforce, and internal tooling
- Professional experience coordinating and interacting with external auditors, internal engineering teams, business stakeholders, senior leadership, and security operations teams on procurement activities, audit controls and compliance requirements
- Experience conducting vendor risk assessments, including reviewing security certifications, penetration tests, and policies.
- Strong understanding of vendor integration risks and permission scoping across SaaS platforms (eg. Slack, Google Workspace, and Salesforce)
- Ability to translate complex technical findings and requirements into clear business risks and requirements to non technical stakeholders.
- Experience working with NIST Cybersecurity Framework profiles, SOC 2, ISO 27001, or similar frameworks
- Experience creating workflows through automation and AI assitance
- Experience working within common GRC and procurement platforms such as Zip and Vanta.
- Experience managing high volumes of vendor requests and competing priorities.
- Prior assessment experience in the Software-as-a-Service industry
- #LI-hybrid
Benefits & Perks
- At Samsara, we build for the people who keep the global economy moving. We want owners, not passengers, which is why our rewards are designed to fuel high-impact builders. Our compensation program delivers above-market total compensation through a combination of base salary, performance-based bonus/variable pay, and equity (for eligible roles) in a high-growth public company. We meaningfully differentiate pay for our top performers, who have the opportunity to earn above-market compensation that can outpace the broader market over time.
- Beyond compensation, we provide the foundations that enable long-term success: a flexible, employee-led remote model, a professional development stipend, comprehensive health and parental leave plans, and more. If you’re ready to build for the long term and own the outcome, your journey starts here.
