A fantastic opportunity to join a new UK retail bank in build phase – a rare chance to design and embed a best-in-class TPRM framework from the ground up, in a highly regulated, high-growth environment.

The Role

You’ll take full ownership of Third Party Risk Management across the organisation—designing policy, building frameworks, and embedding controls across a diverse and evolving supplier landscape. From strategic sourcing and contract negotiation to regulatory reporting and due diligence, you’ll lead the end-to-end TPRM lifecycle.

• Designing and implementing the TPRM framework, policy, and governance model
• Building and maintaining the third party register and materiality assessment approach
• Leading due diligence on critical suppliers and complex multi-party arrangements
• Supporting commercial teams on supplier onboarding, sourcing, and contract negotiations
• Owning regulatory reporting (FCA/PRA) including notifications and annual submissions
• Embedding TPRM into business processes to enable growth at pace
• Acting as the subject matter expert, coaching stakeholders and influencing decisions

What we’re looking for

• Strong experience in Third Party Risk / Outsourcing within a regulated financial services environment
• Deep understanding of PRA, FCA and ideally DORA
• Proven track record of building or transforming TPRM frameworks
• Experience working with complex supplier ecosystems or multi-party arrangements
• Comfortable operating independently as a senior specialist
• Commercial mindset – able to balance risk, regulation, and business growth
• Confident communicator, able to engage from operational teams to Board level
