We’re looking for a Risk Delivery Manager (Operational Resilience & Third Party Risk) to help make Zopa’s risk frameworks simpler, smarter and easier for the business to use.
Responsibilities
- You’ll own and improve Zopa’s first‑line frameworks for Operational Resilience and Third‑Party Risk Management, creating clearer guidance, better templates, smoother workflows and stronger governance.
- You’ll lead practical improvements that make a real difference, reducing assessment time, improving the quality of risk information, clarifying ownership, speeding up approvals and giving senior leaders better visibility of material risks.
- You’ll also own key Operational Resilience activity, including Zopa’s Self‑Assessment, Important Business Services, impact tolerances, dependencies, vulnerabilities and resilience testing.
- On the Third‑Party Risk side, you’ll oversee the material third‑party register, embed risk requirements into supplier processes and support ongoing monitoring, BCP and exit planning for higher‑risk suppliers.
Qualifications
- You’re great at simplifying complex frameworks, processes or governance into practical ways of working that people actually use.
- You’ll bring strong judgement, a process design mindset and the ability to apply requirements proportionately in a fast‑paced, regulated environment.
- You’ll be comfortable learning new regulatory requirements, risk domains and technical subject matter, then translating them into effective business processes.
- You’ll also have experience in Operational Resilience and Third‑Party Risk Management, whether from a regulatory, technology or operations perspective, and be confident using data and technology to support decision‑making while balancing risk with commercial goals.
Benefits

You’ll join a collaborative, ambitious team that cares about doing the right thing for customers, making bold but well‑controlled choices, and focusing energy on the risks that matter most.
