Our team of experts works with clients to identify and mitigate sustainability risks, improve supply chain transparency, and drive innovation across the value chain.

We are seeking a highly motivated and experienced Supply Chain Sustainability Expert to join our team and help our clients achieve their sustainability goals, in particular to help them engage with their suppliers and business partners to collaborate and drive impact across the value chain.

When you join Extended Enterprise, you will see how we work with some of the largest organisations in the world, across a variety of industries. Our client list includes major organisations in banking, capital markets, insurance and investment management, as well as technology, mining, media, pharmaceuticals, oil and gas, public sector and consumer goods including retail, automotive, hospitality and services sectors.

The engagements you lead will require you to utilise your prior knowledge and experience to assist clients in designing or refining their TPRM frameworks and/or approach to sustainable supply chain and capabilities addressing factors such as:

• Demonstrating alignment with the wide range of third-party and supply chain risks and regulations which our clients and their third-parties need to manage;
• Identifying the wide range of different third party and supply chain risks and commitments an organisation may face across different industries, including relating to anti-bribery, sanctions, human rights, ethics and sustainability in the supply chain including relating to decarbonisation, business resilience, cyber risk and data privacy;
• Helping clients bring automation and Generative AI based solutions to achieve efficiency in their TPRM and supply chain management programmes;
• Understanding and identifying appropriate technology and operating model solutions for a range of challenges related to their supply chains;
• Exploring the drivers which influence and affect behaviours of business partners, suppliers and customers;
• Enhancing and embedding the operational processes and controls required by an organisation to effectively monitor its third party relationships.

In addition, you will build an understanding of how to balance engagement risk and engagement economics alongside managing engagement teams to deliver optimal outcomes for our clients. You will be responsible for pioneering new capabilities and ways of working in the team, and helping to bring new ideas and solutions to our client offerings. You will drive new opportunities and marketplace activities, as well as leading proposals and winning new work. This will be a market facing role, and you will work with the Directors and Partners in the team to grow the business.

A typical EE advisory engagement will involve:

• Advisory engagements usually involve working as part of a small team (typically 2-5 people) to embed yourselves for a fixed period of time alongside a team of client stakeholders and work collaboratively to deliver positive, high value programmes of change/improvement for our clients.
• They require a high degree of stakeholder management and change management activity as well as strong governance and project management.
• The key phases of an advisory engagement usually include benchmarking existing capability, designing, and developing an enhanced capability, establishing or implementing that enhanced capability and supporting the client to adopt and embed the new way of working.
• Advisory engagements can range in duration from 6-8 weeks for the smaller programmes through to 6-12 months for the larger programmes.
• In addition, we often subsequently support our clients with implementation, technology enablement and operation of their TPRM and Supply Chain Risk programmes.

Our 'operate' capability includes a range of innovative solutions that we offer to our clients to help them deliver their TPRM programmes, including supply chain risk intelligence, integrity due diligence, outsourced risk assessment managed services and third party risk monitoring programmes. Each of these programmes are different in nature and require team members to think flexibly and independently, with a high focus on problem solving for our clients to help manage their most complex supply chain risk challenges.

A successful individual will demonstrate the following behaviours, capabilities, and experience:

• Significant experience working in the area of Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) and/or Supply Chain, with experience in Industrials, Energy & Resources, Consumer Goods or other manufacturing sectors.
• A track record of delivering TPRM/Supply Chain related client transformations in a consulting role, or working within teams or functions in an 'in-house' role is preferred.
• Experience of the process and methodologies of performing due diligence on third parties, and linking this to the end to end TPRM or Supply Chain processes.
• A strong understanding of the UK and EU regulations associated with Outsourcing and Third Party Risk Management as well as Supply Chain (e.g. CSDDD, EUDR etc).
• Experience delivering supply chain traceability/network mapping programmes and a strong understanding of supply chain intelligence solutions is advantageous but not mandatory.
• A strong understanding or experience of TPRM and Supply Chain technologies and how they can be used to bring efficiency and operational effectiveness to clients' TPRM programmes, including utilisation of GenAI where appropriate.
• Highly organised individual with strong attention to detail and able to manage their own workload and to delegate effectively.
• Strong communication, presentation and English writing skills, including strong proficiency in PowerPoint, Word and Excel.
• Critical analytical and problem-solving skills are a must and the ability to make decisions logically and confidently.
• Strong ability to build professional relationships and rapport across our Extended Enterprise team and its clients.

Working with EE provides a mixture of working in the office, client sites and visiting third parties' premises, which provides variety and a well-rounded mix of work environments. The EE team value a healthy work-life balance, and provide ample opportunity to socialise with other members of the team across grades.
