Your role at Clorox:

We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Cybersecurity Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC) Lead . This position reports to the Cybersecurity GRC Product Owner.

Assess critical and high‑risk vendors, including SaaS, cloud service providers, data processors, and managed service providers, for alignment with company security and privacy requirements.
Partner with Procurement, Legal, Privacy, IT, and the business to ensure cybersecurity risks associated with third parties are identified, documented, and addressed prior to contract execution.
Define and enforce risk‑based onboarding and reassessment requirements aligned to vendor criticality, data sensitivity, and system access.
Track third‑party risk findings, remediation commitments, and compensating controls to closure; escalate overdue or unacceptable risks as appropriate.
Support contract security requirements, including review of security clauses, right‑to‑audit provisions, data protection obligations, and incident notification requirements.
Maintain visibility into third‑party risk trends and exposures and report material risks to leadership.
Ensure third‑party risk processes meet public‑company audit and regulatory expectations and support internal audit and external reviews.

Assess cybersecurity risks related to internal systems, cloud services, applications, and third‑party vendors across technology and operational initiatives.
Ensure alignment with applicable cybersecurity, privacy, and compliance frameworks (e.g., NIST, ISO, SOC, SOX, GDPR, CCPA).
Support day‑to‑day operations by identifying cybersecurity compliance risks, ensuring appropriate escalation, and coordinating timely corrective actions.
Collaborate with technical and non‑technical teams to evaluate the effectiveness of security controls, identify and categorize risks, recommend improvements, and communicate outcomes.
Facilitate the development, maintenance, and enforcement of cybersecurity policies and standards in collaboration with internal subject matter experts.
Challenge the first line of defense by validating required assessments and attestations (e.g., PCI, SOX, GDPR, CCPA) and providing compliance guidance where necessary.
Provide oversight of vulnerability management, risk remediation activities, and the policy exception request process.
Communicate emerging risks, audit findings, and control issues to key stakeholders, and support remediation planning and execution.
Develop metrics and reporting to provide leadership visibility into cybersecurity risk posture, compliance status, and risk trends.

AI, Cloud, and Emerging Technology Risk

Evaluate AI‑enabled services offered by third parties for model security, training data governance, privacy implications, and exposure to model manipulation attacks.
Ensure cloud and AI services align with referenced security and privacy frameworks (e.g., NIST CSF/RMF, NIST AI RMF, ISO, SOC 2, GDPR, CCPA).
Advise on secure adoption of emerging technologies while maintaining risk, compliance, and governance standards.

Stakeholder Engagement & Leadership

Work closely with business, technology, and compliance counterparts to understand business objectives and ensure alignment with security policies and best practices.
Build strong relationships with business units to embed security‑by‑design into projects, architecture, infrastructure, and applications.
