At Affirm, we exist for the moments that matter—giving people a clear, predictable way to pay over time, with no hidden fees, no surprises, and no tradeoffs on what matters most.
Affirm values security as being critical to the company's continued success. The Security Risk Management team is evolving beyond traditional governance, risk, and compliance; we are building an engineering driven program that designs, automates, and scales the controls, workflows, and tooling that protect Affirm and our customers.
The ideal candidate will evaluate, build, and refine solutions to third-party risk and security governance challenges across the Security Third Party Program and the broader Security Risk Management program. They are equally comfortable applying security policy to real-world vendor decisions and shipping automation using modern tooling (Python, Cursor, Claude, and other agentic coding platforms) to replace manual GRC work with scalable, code-defined workflows. They will develop deep expertise across the security risk domain, partner closely with business and engineering stakeholders, and play an active role in Affirm's transformation of Security Risk Management from a compliance-oriented function into a security engineering discipline.
We are looking for a curious, collaborative Security Risk Management Specialist to help scale Affirm's Third Party Risk Management program through process rigor, hands-on automation, and strong cross-functional partnership.
