Position
Overview:

The
Customer Assurance Specialist
is
responsible for managing and completing inbound customer assurance requests
related to IT and Information Security. This includes handling security
questionnaires, RFPs/RFIs, due‑diligence assessments, and audit evidence
requests.

While this role is
not a technical
subject‑matter expert,
it requires the ability to interpret compliance
requirements, collect accurate information from internal SMEs, and translate
that information into clear, professional, customer‑ready responses. The Specialist
ensures that customer inquiries are handled efficiently, consistently, and with
a high standard of quality, supporting customer trust and enabling successful
sales and renewal cycles.

  Support Sales and Customer Success teams by providing timely
  updates and clear communication about request status.

Documentation & Knowledge Management

  Maintain updated versions of SOC reports, ISO certifications,
  attestation letters, SIG/CAIQ packets, and other compliance collateral.
• 
  Update templates, knowledge bases, FAQs, and content libraries
  to streamline future responses.
• 
  Contribute to process improvements that reduce turnaround times
  and enhance accuracy.

Customer Assurance & Communication

  Deliver polished, well‑structured responses to customer
  inquiries that reflect the organization’s security posture and compliance
  commitments.
