Cover letter sampleDear Hiring Manager,

I am excited to apply for the Senior Security Engineer I, Customer Trust EMEA role at Smartsheet. With over 5 years of experience in customer-facing security assessments and vendor risk management, including deep expertise in GDPR and EU data protection frameworks, I am well-prepared to lead your EMEA Customer Trust operations. My background includes successfully responding to complex security questionnaires and managing vendor risk for cloud platforms, ensuring both responsiveness and technical credibility. I thrive in remote environments and enjoy collaborating with sales teams to build trust with enterprise customers. I look forward to contributing to Smartsheet's mission of uniting human teams with AI agents by fostering security confidence across the EMEA region.

Copy   Sample interview questionsCan you describe your experience with completing GDPR-related security questionnaires and DPIAs for enterprise customers?I have worked on multiple GDPR assessments, including drafting DPIAs and responding to detailed security questionnaires. For example, at my last company, I led the completion of a comprehensive GDPR assessment for a major financial client, ensuring all data processing activities were mapped and risks mitigated. My approach involves collaborating with legal, security, and engineering teams to gather precise information and clearly communicate our compliance posture.

How do you prioritize and manage multiple customer security questionnaires with tight SLA deadlines?

I use a ticketing system to track all incoming requests and categorize them based on urgency, complexity, and customer tier. I set internal deadlines ahead of SLAs and communicate proactively with stakeholders if any risks arise. By maintaining a repository of pre-approved responses and collaborating with subject matter experts, I can streamline completion without compromising accuracy.

Explain the differences between SOC 2 Type I and Type II, and which one is more relevant for a SaaS customer assessment?

SOC 2 Type I evaluates the design of controls at a specific point in time, while Type II assesses the operational effectiveness of controls over a period, usually 6-12 months. For SaaS customers, Type II is generally more relevant because it provides assurance that controls are not just designed but also functioning over time. Most enterprise customers require Type II as evidence of ongoing security posture.

How would you explain a complex cloud security architecture to a non-technical customer stakeholder in an EMEA region?

I would use simple analogies and visual aids, focusing on business outcomes rather than technical jargon. For instance, I would compare encryption to a secure lockbox with keys held by authorized personnel only. I would also reference familiar concepts like data residency and access controls, demonstrating how our architecture aligns with local regulations without overwhelming the audience with technical details.

What experience do you have working with vendor risk assessment tools such as Targhee, OneTrust, or SAFE?

I have hands-on experience with OneTrust for vendor risk management, including automating questionnaire distribution and tracking assessment workflows. I also used Targhee to manage security assessment requests and maintain a centralized knowledge base. These tools helped me reduce turnaround time by 30% and ensured consistent, audit-ready responses.

For over 20 years, Smartsheet has empowered teams to manage work seamlessly and scale solutions smarter. Now, in our most ambitious chapter yet, we are uniting human teams with AI agents. By orchestrating the work agents do best, automating manual tasks and uncovering insights at scale, we create the space for people to focus on what truly matters: judgment, creativity, and big thinking.

Smartsheet’s customers in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa expect our Customer Trust team to understand their compliance challenges, speak their language, and respond quickly to security assessments. We’re looking for a Sr. Security Engineer I to lead Customer Trust operations across EMEA—responding to security questionnaires, managing vendor risk assessments, and building trusted relationships with enterprise customers in these regions. You will be responsible for questionnaire triage, completion, and queue management for EMEA customers.
