• Partner across Information Security, Threat Intelligence, Provider Strategy Group, Digital Assets, Technology, Risk, Legal, Sourcing, and the business to evaluate material third-party security risks and drive appropriate actions. 

• Implement automation and data-driven processes to improve vendor monitoring, risk identification, provider outreach, evidence collection, workflow management, and reporting. 

• Identify recurring risks and lessons across the provider population and use those insights to continuously improve Supply Chain Security requirements, monitoring, and assessment processes. 

• Communicate material third-party cybersecurity risks and recommendations clearly to senior leadership and relevant governance forums.
