This is a high-impact role with real visibility. You'll act as the subject-matter expert for TPRM, combining strategic design with hands-on delivery across business-as-usual activity and major regulatory change.
- Lead the review, redesign and enhancement of the Supplier Risk Operating Model - from policies and processes to governance, segmentation and RACI models
- Assess current maturity, identify gaps and deliver clear, prioritised recommendations aligned to best practice
- Own BAU supplier risk regulatory compliance across UK and EU requirements
- Lead the DORA supplier risk workstream, including ICT third-party classification, oversight and regulatory readiness
- Act as the primary point of contact for European supplier risk engagement
- Lead supplier-related workstreams for major regulatory initiatives (including DyGIST and SS5/25)
- Partner closely with Risk, Legal, Compliance, IT, Security, Data Protection and Operational Resilience teams
- Provide expert challenge and advice on high-risk suppliers, material outsourcing and concentration risk
- Support senior leadership and governance forums with insight, analysis and clear recommendations
- Stay ahead of emerging risks, regulatory change and industry trends
- Step in during supplier incidents or disruptions to support crisis management
What you'll bring:
You're confident operating in complex, regulated environments and comfortable translating regulation into practical action.
- Significant experience in Supplier / Third-Party Risk Management within Financial Services
- Deep expertise in supplier assurance, due diligence and audit
- Strong knowledge across key risk domains including cyber, information security, BCM, operational resilience, exit planning, GDPR, financial crime, modern slavery and sustainability
- A solid grasp of the regulatory landscape, including DORA, EBA Outsourcing Guidelines, SS1/21, SS2/21, SYSC 8, SS5/25, DyGIST and Operational Resilience frameworks
- Experience working with TPRM systems and supplier risk data (bonus points for FSQS or Agiloft)
- The confidence to influence senior stakeholders and challenge constructively
Great if you also have:
- Strong analytical skills and the ability to simplify complex regulation
- Experience designing and improving end-to-end processes
- Proven delivery in large-scale regulatory or transformation programmes
- Excellent planning, prioritisation and stakeholder management skills
You'll be joining a business where third party risk genuinely matters - not just for compliance, but for resilience, reputation and long-term success. This is a chance to shape strategy, influence senior decision-making and leave a lasting mark on how supplier risk is managed across the organisation.
A competitive salary and benefits package is on offer, alongside the opportunity to work with engaged, knowledgeable teams tackling some of the most important risk challenges in Financial Services today.
