[Hiring] Senior Security Risk Analyst @DoorDash USA

Role Description

We're hiring a Security Risk Specialist, who will help run and shape our risk management program and treatment plans, enabling risk and control owners and security teams to keep risk at an acceptable level as the business grows. You will work cross-functionally to achieve business goals by:

• Running risk assessments and reporting.
• Supporting exception requests when a policy can't be met.
• Helping automate the tooling and processes that keep our risk register accurate and trustworthy.
• Building a more proactive risk function by deep-diving into specific areas of the business to surface issues before they arise.

You will report into the Senior Security Risk Manager on our GRC team in our Security organization.

You’re excited about this opportunity because you will…

• Lead our global risk management process (assessing risk, negotiating treatment plans with owners, turning regulatory and framework changes into real, working controls).
• Get into the detail of how controls operate day-to-day, factoring in threat intelligence to stay ahead of new threat actors and attack vectors.
• Manage policy exceptions by building compensatory controls or a case for risk acceptance.
• Own risk reporting for key areas like security or engineering, becoming the go-to risk contact for at least one area and helping reduce risk measurably.
• Collaborate and report widely within our GRC and security teams and across the business.
• Help shape our team’s strategy and tooling by building your own automations.

Qualifications

• 4+ years of experience in security risk, GRC, or a related field.
• Bachelor's degree in a technology-related field, or an additional 4 years of work experience in a technology-related field.
• Fluency in risk management frameworks, including the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Cybersecurity Framework (CSF).
• Ability to translate technical risk into language both technical and non-technical audiences can act on.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to turn complex control requirements into clear, actionable guidance.
• Comfortable owning risk metrics and reporting, with the ability to demonstrate program effectiveness.
• Experience automating workflows, or an interest in agentic AI workflows.

Requirements

• Experience implementing or using GRC tooling (nice to have).
• Experience with AI-related risk (nice to have).
• Experience in controls assurance and effectiveness testing (nice to have).

Benefits

• Comprehensive benefits package including a 401(k) plan with employer matching.
• 16 weeks of paid parental leave.
• Wellness benefits and commuter benefits match.
• Paid time off and paid sick leave in compliance with applicable laws.
• Medical, dental, and vision benefits.
• 11 paid holidays.
• Disability and basic life insurance.
• Family-forming assistance and a mental health program.

For salaried roles: flexible paid time off/vacation, plus 80 hours of paid sick time per year.

For hourly roles: vacation accrued at about 1 hour for every 25.97 hours worked, and paid sick time accrued at 1 hour for every 30 hours worked.
