Vendor Risk Manager

Dalio Family Office

Dalio Family Office Overview:

The Dalio Family Office (DFO) supports Barbara and Ray Dalio and their family in their ventures, investments, and philanthropic efforts under Dalio Philanthropies, which includes OceanX, Dalio Education, Endless Network, and the Beijing Dalio Foundation. The core of the DFO’s culture is built around meaningful work and meaningful relationships and the family’s commitment to giving back. The office is headquartered in Westport, CT with regional offices in New York City, Singapore, and Abu Dhabi.

Position Summary:

The Vendor Risk Manager owns the end-to-end third-party risk lifecycle, onboarding, diligence, monitoring, and exit across a high-volume, diverse vendor portfolio. You will synthesize risk across cybersecurity, AI, privacy, financial, and AML/CFT/sanctions domains into clear, actionable risk positions, performing structured threat modeling for high-exposure vendors.

Day-to-day responsibilities would include a combination of the following:

  • Own the VRM program end-to-end: strategy, policy, procedure, workflow, tooling, metrics, and executive reporting for CISO/CRO/board visibility.
  • Lead holistic vendor risk assessments across cybersecurity, AI risk, privacy, financial, AML/CFT/sanctions.
  • Document residual risk acceptances with named accountable executives and time-boxed review dates; coordinate with IT, Legal, Finance, and Compliance as appropriate.
  • ​Evaluate and monitor vendor security controls based on data sensitivity and business criticality, leveraging industry frameworks and evidence such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, penetration testing, and security assessments.
  • Conduct structured threat models (STRIDE, PASTA) for high risk vendors, and document findings as durable artifacts informing contracting, monitoring, and exit planning.
  • Translate threat model outputs into concrete, testable control requirements drawing from OWASP (ASVS, API Security Top 10, LLM/Agentic Top 10), NIST (SP 800-53, SP 800-161, CSF 2.0, SP 800-207), and MITRE ATT&CK; scale requirements to vendor tier.
  • Partner with Legal to translate identified risks into enforceable contractual requirements.
  • Apply FAIR or comparable quantitative methods for high-impact vendor decisions, expressing cyber risk in loss-exposure terms that resonate with senior leadership.
  • Advise IT, Engineering and business teams on vendor integration architecture (SSO/SCIM, OAuth, conditional access, DLP, segmentation, BYOK, VPC peering) and maintain approved reference patterns.
  • Drive automation and tooling maturity to handle high vendor volume without proportional headcount growth; produce program dashboards tracking throughput, cycle time, recertification compliance, and remediation aging.

The ideal candidate will possess the following knowledge, skills, attributes, and values:

  • Expert knowledge of third-party/vendor risk management
  • Strong risk assessment and analytical skills
  • Technical understanding of enterprise security architecture
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills
  • Proven ability to lead and optimize vendor risk programs

Illustrative Benefits:

  • 100% company paid medical premiums
  • 17 company paid holidays
  • Friday summer hours
  • Monthly community happy hours
  • Hybrid work environment
  • Free catered food services for in-office days
  • Generous PTO offering
  • Casual dress code
  • 150% 401(k) match up to $7,500 and 100% match above $7,500 ($15k match limit)
  • Gym reimbursement, back up childcare services, insurance, financial, and legal services, and much more!

Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Information Security, Risk Management, Computer Science, Cybersecurity, or a related discipline.
  • At least 7 years of progressive experience across vendor risk management, cybersecurity architecture, security engineering, GRC, audit, or related fields.
  • Experience managing the full third-party/vendor risk lifecycle, including vendor onboarding, due diligence, risk assessments, continuous monitoring, recertification, remediation tracking, and vendor exit planning, with at least 2 years owning an end-to-end TPRM program.
  • Strong technical knowledge of cybersecurity frameworks, standards, and methodologies including NIST, ISO 27001/27002, OWASP, MITRE ATT&CK, Shared Assessments, threat modeling approaches (STRIDE/PASTA), and risk management practices.
  • Hands-on experience evaluating enterprise security controls, cloud and integration architectures, SOC 2 Type II reports, ISO certifications, penetration testing results, data protection requirements, and third-party security risks across complex technology environments.
  • Ability to communicate complex technical and risk concepts to executive stakeholders, collaborate effectively across business functions
  • 10% travel as required based on business needs.

Compensation:

Compensation for the role includes a competitive salary in the range from $175,000 -$260,000 (inclusive of a merit-based bonus, dependent on years of experience, level of education obtained, as well as applicable skillset) and an excellent benefits package, including  paid time off ranging from 15 to 25 days based on years of service, paid sick and safe leave, dental, vision, life and disability insurance, paid parental time off, birth mother recovery pay, sick family member pay, parental ramp back up program, gym reimbursement and generous employer match for 401k.
