We build autonomous spacecraft, advanced payloads, mission software, and space-based interceptors — enabling the U.S. and its Allies to secure the space environment and counter threats from the ultimate high ground. OUR VALUES Be the offset.

We create asymmetric advantages with creativity and ingenuity. What would it take?

We challenge assumptions to deliver ambitious results. It’s the people.

Our team is our competitive advantage and we are better together. Your Mission

We are seeking a driven and detail-oriented Third-Party & Supply Chain Risk Analyst to own the day-to-day execution of our Third-Party Vendor Risk Management (TPVRM) and Cyber Supply Chain Risk Management (C-SCRM) programs, with a secondary line of effort supporting the broader Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) function. Reporting to the Senior Enterprise Risk Manager, you will play a hands-on role assessing suppliers and subcontractors, tracing risk through our hardware and software supply chains, tracking remediation, and building the data foundation that powers executive-level decisions about who we buy from and depend on. This role is ideal for a mid-career risk professional who is fluent in frameworks such as NIST RMF, NIST SP 800-161 (C-SCRM), and CMMC, is developing practical experience with risk quantification methodologies like FAIR and OCTAVE, and is eager to grow within a fast-paced aerospace and defense environment where the supply chain spans spacecraft hardware, payloads, and mission software. You will work closely with procurement, supply chain, engineering, security, legal, and compliance teams to identify, document, and track risk across our full population of vendors, suppliers, and the components they deliver. Responsibilities

Third-Party Vendor Risk Management

Own and execute the vendor risk assessment lifecycle end to end — intake, tiering, onboarding due diligence, and periodic reassessment — including security questionnaire administration, documentation review, and risk scoring. Maintain the vendor risk inventory and lifecycle tracking records, ensuring every vendor and subcontractor is appropriately tiered by criticality and data/access exposure, and is reassessed on schedule. Continuously monitor third-party risk signals — cybersecurity advisories, breach disclosures, financial-health and adverse-media indicators, regulatory and debarment actions (e.g., SAM.gov exclusions), and contractual compliance status — escalating material changes to the Senior Enterprise Risk Manager. Assess vendor cybersecurity posture against contractual and regulatory requirements, including flow-down of DFARS View phone number on click.appcast.io, NIST SP 800-171, and CMMC obligations to subcontractors handling Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). Partner with contracts, procurement, and legal teams to translate assessment findings into recommended risk mitigation language, flow-down clauses, and remediation commitments before award and at renewal. Track vendor remediation items to closure, maintaining risk acceptance records where residual risk is formally accepted by an accountable owner. Supply Chain Risk Management (C-SCRM)

Build and maintain the program that traces risk through both the hardware and software supply chains — extending beyond first-tier vendors to the components, subcomponents, and sub-tier suppliers that go into spacecraft, payloads, and mission systems. Establish and maintain supplier and component inventories, including support for Hardware Bill of Materials (HBOM) and Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) practices, to enable provenance, traceability, and rapid impact analysis when a supplier or part is compromised, discontinued, or flagged. Align the C-SCRM program with NIST SP 800-161 Rev. 1, applicable CMMC supply chain requirements, and DFARS clauses, documenting supply chain risk controls and their coverage across critical suppliers. Support sub-tier and single-/sole-source dependency analysis, surfacing concentration risk and resilience gaps for critical components and escalating to program and supply chain leadership. Enterprise Risk Management

Support the design, execution, and continuous improvement of the enterprise risk management program under the direction of the Senior Enterprise Risk Manager, ensuring third-party and supply chain risks roll up into the enterprise risk picture. Support the application of FAIR methodology to help quantify third-party and supply chain risks in financial terms and contribute to risk prioritization analyses for leadership. Maintain and update the enterprise risk register, ensuring accuracy of risk ratings, ownership assignments, remediation status, and residual risk tracking for supplier- and vendor-originated risks. Build and maintain program dashboards, KPI/KRI reports, and status tracking using tools such as Jira, Confluence, enterprise GRC platforms, and MS Project — with an emphasis on third-party and supply chain exposure metrics. Assist with audit readiness activities including evidence collection, pre-assessment preparation, control documentation, and post-audit remediation tracking, including supply chain and vendor controls. Contribute to the development and maintenance of risk policies, standards, and guidelines aligned to NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5, NIST SP 800-171, NIST SP 800-161, RMF, and CMMC Level 3. Cross-Functional Collaboration

Serve as a reliable day-to-day point of contact for third-party and supply chain risk inquiries from internal stakeholders across procurement, supply chain, engineering, security, operations, and legal teams. Track program milestones, action items, and deliverables, proactively communicating status and flagging risks or dependencies to the Senior Enterprise Risk Manager. Continuously improve vendor and supply chain risk workflows, questionnaire templates, tiering criteria, and reporting processes to support scalable and repeatable execution. Support the preparation of materials for internal leadership briefings, external assessor interactions, and government partner reviews, including third-party and supply chain risk exposure summaries.
