Introduction to the competency and the role

Risk can come from every angle – upside, downside and outside – and it can be hard to see, anticipate and respond to effectively. Our Risk Consulting team works with a broad range of client organisations to look at, and respond to, risk with fresh thinking.

Within Risk Consulting, our Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) team plays a pivotal role in helping our clients to safeguard their interests by identifying, assessing, and mitigating risks associated with third-party vendors and service providers. Utilising technology, EY’s TPRM teams help our clients to make better-informed decisions faster about third parties. We examine risk from every angle and provide our clients with the insights they need to identify the partners that will create better long-term value for their business.

We are seeking an experienced Senior Manager to enhance our TPRM capability. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in assessing and mitigating risks associated with third-party vendors, including financial, operational, compliance, and reputational risks. This experience will be derived from leading and operating TPRM functions in industry, or from providing TPRM transformative solutions to organisations within a professional services environment.
