Senior IT Sourcing Specialist

You will be joining a Global Insurance Firm that is continuing to strengthen its approach to risk, governance and supplier management as part of a wider operational transformation. The business places a strong emphasis on resilience, regulatory readiness and effective oversight across all third-party relationships, creating an environment where supplier risk is taken seriously and supported at senior levels. The team you will be joining sits within a wider operational function that is known for its professionalism, collaboration and focus on enabling the business to operate safely and efficiently. It is a culture built on openness, accountability and the confidence to adapt to an evolving regulatory landscape, giving you room to shape meaningful change.

As the Supplier Risk Manager, you will take ownership of redesigning and enhancing the organisation's supplier risk operating model, ensuring it aligns with evolving expectations across operational resilience, financial services governance and wider regulatory requirements. You will act as the subject-matter expert for supplier risk, overseeing assurance activity, advising senior stakeholders and leading key initiatives linked to regulatory change across the UK and Europe. Your work will span the full lifecycle of supplier oversight, from policies and frameworks through to governance structures, risk segmentation and the development of processes that stand up to audit scrutiny. You will also act as a central point of coordination for regulatory engagement, supporting operational resilience programmes, and ensuring third-party risks are consistently understood and managed across the business.

To thrive in this role, you will bring deep experience in supplier or third-party risk management within a regulated environment, ideally financial services. You will be confident interpreting regulatory expectations, assessing supplier risks, and turning complex requirements into practical frameworks that can be adopted across the organisation. You will need strong analytical capability and the ability to engage credibly with senior stakeholders, particularly when advising on high-risk suppliers or material outsourcing arrangements. Success here calls for someone structured, inquisitive and capable of delivering both day-to-day compliance activity and long-term strategic improvements. Experience working with supplier assurance processes, risk tooling and multi-disciplinary governance teams will be key, as will the confidence to challenge constructively and lead discussions that influence organisational thinking.

You will receive a competitive salary and join a team where your expertise and ideas will be genuinely valued. You will be stepping into a role with a wide scope and the freedom to shape how the business approaches supplier risk, offering you excellent visibility across senior leadership and a chance to contribute to major regulatory programmes. You will work with supportive colleagues who are committed to raising standards and building a more resilient supplier landscape across the organisation. With a culture that encourages ownership, development and continuous improvement, this is a role where you can make a long-lasting impact while growing your professional profile in a complex and evolving risk environment.
