A global financial services business is continuing to invest in its supplier management and third-party risk capability as part of a broader focus on governance, regulatory compliance and operational resilience. Operating across multiple international markets, the firm offers a fast-paced, collaborative environment where supplier risk is increasingly seen as a critical function. You'll join a small, high-impact team working closely with stakeholders across technology, risk and operations.
You will join as a Third-Party Risk & Supplier Governance Analyst, supporting the day-to-day delivery of the firm's supplier risk framework while contributing to ongoing governance and regulatory initiatives. This is a hands-on role that combines reviewing supplier risk assessments and ensuring data accuracy, with more involved work around maintaining the central supplier risk register and improving how supplier information is managed across the business. You will work closely with internal risk functions such as information security and data privacy, helping to identify, assess and mitigate risks linked to third parties. Alongside this, you will support and help facilitate governance forums, ensuring actions are tracked and followed through, while also contributing to wider initiatives aimed at strengthening the firm's approach to third-party risk and regulatory compliance.
What you'll need to succeed:
- You will bring experience from a role involving supplier risk, third-party governance, procurement, or a related function within a financial services environment.
- Exposure to working with suppliers or external vendors is important, alongside a strong attention to detail and experience handling data or reporting.
- You'll be comfortable working across teams and engaging with stakeholders, with the ability to support and guide them through established processes.
- A proactive, hands-on mindset is key, as is the ability to operate effectively in a fast-moving environment where priorities can shift.
- An understanding of regulatory expectations around third-party risk and operational resilience will be beneficial, particularly within financial services.
- This could include exposure to areas such as outsourcing governance, operational resilience frameworks, or working alongside teams covering information security, data privacy, or compliance.
What you'll get in return:
In return, you'll benefit from joining a growing function where you can gain exposure to regulatory programmes and play a visible role in shaping how supplier risk is managed. The position offers a salary in the region of £40,000-£60,000, alongside a performance-related bonus and a hybrid working scheme of 4 days in the office per week. This is a strong opportunity for someone looking to build further experience in third-party risk within a commercial financial services setting.
