This role combines project management support, reporting and analytics, quality control review, and direct execution of third-party risk assessments.

• Prepare clear, accurate and timely status reports, dashboards, metrics and management updates covering assessment volumes, aging, throughput, quality, risks, issues, remediation progress and other engagement measures.
• Maintain project documentation and delivery artifacts, including trackers, procedures, job aids, meeting materials, decision logs and supporting evidence.
• Coordinate with engagement leadership, client stakeholders, third parties, risk subject-matter resources and global delivery teams to obtain inputs, resolve questions and keep deliverables on schedule.
• Execute third-party risk assessments when needed, including reviewing questionnaires and evidence, evaluating control design and implementation, documenting conclusions, identifying gaps, drafting findings and supporting remediation activities.
• Perform quality control reviews of third-party risk assessments and related work products for completeness, accuracy, consistency, evidence sufficiency and alignment with client methodology and procedures.
• Provide actionable feedback to assessors, track corrections to closure and identify recurring quality themes that may require clarification, coaching or process improvement.
• Apply knowledge of key third-party risk domains, including information security, data protection, business continuity and resiliency, technology, compliance and other operational risks relevant to the engagement.
• Use the designated TPRM AI enabler and other approved AI tools to support delivery activities such as information synthesis, questionnaire and evidence review, drafting, analysis and quality checks, while applying professional judgment and following applicable EY and client requirements.
• Communicate delivery risks, issues, decisions and recommendations to project teams and client stakeholders; escalate matters promptly when appropriate.
• Analyze data and recurring operational themes, support root cause analysis, and recommend practical improvements to processes, controls, workflows, reporting and use of technology.
• Work effectively across multiple engagements, priorities and time zones while maintaining attention to detail, responsiveness and a strong focus on client service.

Skills and attributes for success:

• Strong working knowledge of TPRM lifecycle activities, assessment methodologies and common risk domains.
• Technical strength in evaluating controls, evidence and risk information and translating analysis into concise, supportable conclusions.
• Ability to perform and review assessments with a consistent focus on quality, accuracy and adherence to defined methodology.
• Project coordination and PMO capabilities, including disciplined tracking, prioritization, organization and follow-through.
• Ability to develop meaningful metrics and reports, analyze trends and clearly communicate the story behind the data.
• Strong written and verbal client communication skills, including the ability to explain technical or risk concepts clearly and facilitate productive working sessions.
• Relationship-building and collaboration skills across client, third-party and internal teams.
• Good judgment, critical thinking and problem-solving skills, including the ability to recognize when an issue requires escalation.
• Comfort learning and using TPRM platforms, reporting tools, collaboration tools and AI-enabled solutions.
• Ability to manage concurrent activities and deadlines in a fast-paced, team-based delivery environment.
• Curiosity, learning agility and a continuous-improvement mindset.

• Experience with one or more aspects of TPRM delivery, such as PMO coordination, management reporting, quality review, due diligence, ongoing monitoring, issue management or remediation tracking.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office tools, particularly Excel, PowerPoint, Word, Outlook and Teams.
• Availability to work from the EY Service Delivery Center in Charlotte, North Carolina, consistent with role and business requirements.
• Flexibility to support client teams operating across multiple time zones and to travel occasionally when engagement needs are required.

Ideally, you'll also have:

• A degree in business, risk management, supply chain management, information systems, cybersecurity, engineering or a related discipline.
• Experience with TPRM or governance, risk and compliance platforms such as ProcessUnity, ServiceNow, Archer, Aravo, OneTrust or similar solutions.
• Experience developing dashboards, metrics and reporting using Excel, Power BI or comparable tools.
• Familiarity with common risk and control frameworks or standards, such as NIST, ISO 27001, COBIT or other relevant industry frameworks.
