Main purpose of the role: The opportunity is for a highly skilled Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) professional for a 12-month fixed-term role to support the development and implementation of MUFG’s centralised TPRM Target Operating Model (“TOM”). This role is London-based and does not include operational management of the Global Capability Center (GCC) delivery team based in MGS, India. Instead, it provides strategic design input, subject-matter expertise, programme oversight, and senior stakeholder coordination to ensure the global TPRM service model meets regulatory, operational, and organisational expectations across regions.

Key responsibilities:

• Strategic Leadership: Support in shaping and documenting the centralised TPRM TOM, including service scope, governance, service-level expectations, and quality assurance frameworks. Contribute to the design and implementation of the end-to-end TPRM lifecycle, including vendor onboarding, risk assessment, due diligence (security, compliance, financial, operational), ongoing monitoring, and termination processes. Develop TOM artefacts such as process maps, playbooks, RACIs, and workflow documentation. Ensure alignment with MUFG’s global TPRM strategy and regulatory obligations across EMEA and APAC. Drive simplification, efficiency, and scalability of TPRM processes.
• Program Delivery: Lead EMEA-based workstreams, and provide subject-matter input into APAC-based workstreams, supporting the transition of TPRM activities to the newly established GCC hub. Coordinate requirements gathering and process design from regional stakeholders, capturing country-specific regulatory nuances. Support transition planning, operational readiness assessments, and knowledge-transfer activities to enable smooth migration of services.
• Regulatory Compliance: Interpret key regulatory requirements from PRA, FCA, EBA, DORA and other global supervisors, ensuring these are embedded within the TOM. Support updates to global and regional TPRM policies, minimum standards, and procedural documentation to ensure regulatory alignment and operational practicality.
• Framework & Methodology Enhancement: Provide subject-matter expertise across the end-to-end TPRM lifecycle. Recommend enhancements to risk assessment methodologies, controls, and risk scoring approaches to enable global consistency and quality.
• Governance & Reporting: Contribute to the development of governance routines for the global TPRM operating model, as well as the delivery of regular reporting on program status, risks, dependencies, and key milestones. Contribute to the build-out and delivery of senior executive-level reporting, including the development of metrics and dashboards measuring 4th-party risk and concentration-risk exposure.
• Stakeholder Engagement: Collaborate closely with the Head of Third Party Risk Management GCC, TPRM leadership across regions, and Risk SMEs. Act as a London-based liaison ensuring alignment between EMEA stakeholders and the new GCC delivery team.

Work experience:

• Essential: Significant experience in third-party risk management, risk management, audit, or compliance. Financial-services experience, with a deep understanding of the regulatory landscape impacting third-party relationships.
• Preferred: Experience working with global or matrixed teams and senior stakeholders.

Skills and experience:

• Functional / Technical Competencies: Essential: Strong understanding of Third-Party Risk Management frameworks, processes, and global regulatory expectations. Experience supporting or delivering transformation, operating-model changes, or service-transition programs, preferably within a regulated financial-services environment. Excellent analytical, communication, and documentation skills with the ability to simplify complex requirements. Strong planning, project-delivery, and organisational capability. Ability to work effectively with senior stakeholders across multiple regions and functions. Expertise in TPRM methodologies, regulatory requirements, and best practices. Knowledge of risk domains including cyber security, operational resilience, compliance, and data privacy. Ability to translate regulatory requirements into operational processes. Preferred: Strong change management skills that drive continual improvement, recognising problems and opportunities and identifying win-win solutions. Good knowledge of banking and/or investment banking services/global markets products and services. Strong analytical, writing and Microsoft Office skills.
