About this role
About the Team
DoorDash’s Global Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) team helps the business scale securely through practical risk-based decisions, reliable controls and clear accountability. Our third-party risk program protects the systems and data behind our marketplace across DoorDash, Wolt, and Deliveroo.
About the Role
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, and helping automate the tooling and processes that keep our risk register accurate and trustworthy. You'll also help us build a more proactive risk function — going into specific areas of the business to deep-dive their controls, surface where things have gone wrong, and get ahead of issues before they surface.
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 make sure we stay ahead of new threat actors and attack vectors
• Manage policy exceptions by building compensatory controls or a case for risk acceptance instead
• Own risk reporting for key areas like security or engineering, becoming the go-to risk contact for at least one and helping reduce risk there in a measurable way
• Collaborate and report widely within our GRC and security teams and across the business
• Help shape our team’s strategy and tooling as we grow by building your own automations rather than waiting on an engineer to build them for you
We’re excited about you because…
• You have 4+ years of experience in security risk, GRC, or a related field.
• You have a Bachelor's degree in a technology-related field, or an additional 4 years of work experience in a technology-related field.
• You're fluent in risk management frameworks, including the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Cybersecurity Framework (CSF).
• You know how to translate technical risk into language both technical and non-technical audiences can act on.
• You have strong written and verbal communication skills, and can turn complex control requirements into clear, actionable guidance.
• You're comfortable owning risk metrics and reporting, and can show — not just assert — that a program is working.
• You have experience automating workflows, or an interest in agentic AI workflows.
Nice to have:
• You have experience implementing or using GRC tooling.
• You have experience with AI-related risk.
