How you can make a difference
At HealthEquity, we’re obsessed with protecting what matters most: our members’ health and financial wellbeing. As a Senior Third Party Risk Analyst, you’ll play a critical role in ensuring the security, resilience, and integrity of the partners and technologies powering our platform.
This is more than a compliance role. You’ll be at the intersection of cybersecurity, emerging AI risk, and operational excellence, helping evolve our Third Party Risk Management (TPRM) program to meet the pace of a fast‑moving, highly regulated environment. If you enjoy solving complex problems, improving systems through automation, and making meaningful impact at scale — this role was built for you.
What you’ll be doing
- Conduct risk assessments for critical and operationally significant third‑party entities, including cloud service providers, SaaS platforms, technology partners, and infrastructure providers.
- Identify, track, and drive remediation of control gaps and security risks uncovered throughout the assessment lifecycle.
- Stay ahead of emerging risks, including generative and agentic AI, and evolving regulatory expectations across financial services and healthcare.
- Partner closely with cross‑functional teams such as Procurement, Legal, Privacy, Security, AI Governance, and vendor business owners to manage third‑party risk holistically.
- Develop and maintain key risk and performance metrics that demonstrate progress and maturity within the TPRM program.
- Lead efforts to automate repetitive and high‑volume processes, leveraging advancements in AI to increase efficiency, quality, and speed.
- Introduce and evaluate AI‑enabled tools to enhance risk clarity, improve signal‑to‑noise, and scale the program responsibly.
- Support other TPRM and governance activities as needed, contributing to a culture of continuous improvement.
What you will need to be successful
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Risk Management, or a related technical field.
- 5+ years of combined experience in information security, cybersecurity, or technical/analytical roles.
- Experience operating in fast‑paced, high‑accountability environments where prioritization and time sensitivity matter.
- 2–5 years of hands‑on cybersecurity experience, ideally within financial services or healthcare.
- Strong understanding of security and AI control frameworks, such as:
- NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF)
- NIST AI Risk Management Framework (AI RMF)
- ISO 42001
- Prior experience with TPRM / GRC platforms, including tools such as Vanta, Archer, or ServiceNow.
- Familiarity with cybersecurity risk rating services (e.g., RiskRecon, SecurityScorecard, BitSight).
- Working knowledge of audits, regulatory exams, and attestations, including SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, HITRUST, and similar frameworks.
- Ability to review and interpret technical evidence demonstrating cybersecurity validation and compliance (e.g., SCA, SAST, DAST, penetration testing).
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to translate between technical and non‑technical audiences.
- Experience reviewing technical policies and contributing to standard operating procedures.
- Strong command of the Microsoft ecosystem, including PowerPoint, Excel, Word, SharePoint, and Power BI.
- Demonstrated ability to use AI solutions securely and effectively, such as Microsoft Copilot, Gemini, Anthropic, or ChatGPT, to improve workflows and outcomes.
- One or more cybersecurity certifications, such as CISSP, CISA, CISM, CRISC, or equivalent.
