What you'll do...

Support the Risk Lifecycle: You will help identify, assess, and support mitigation of risks across the vendor lifecycle, contributing to the bank's "boots on the ground" oversight to help ensure it is as rigorous as its internal controls
Conduct Due Diligence: Perform pre-contract due diligence tasks. You won't just review checklists; you will evaluate a provider's financial health, operational resilience, and cybersecurity posture to help determine fitness for the bank's requirements.
Support Contractual Integrity: Work with Legal and Procurement to help draft and monitor Service Level Agreements (SLAs) and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). You will help ensure that "Right to Audit" and "Step-in Rights" are documented as actionable tools.
Monitor Performance: Support a continuous monitoring program by tracking and analyzing performance data and SOC reports to help identify "weak signals" of vendor distress or non-compliance before they escalate into systemic issues.
Support Incident Response: Serve as a point of contact for third-party service disruptions or data breaches. You will support the operational response, helping ensure timely remediation and clear communication to the Second Line (Risk/Compliance) and leadership.
Support Business and Risk Alignment: Work with internal business unit leaders to help them achieve their goals through third parties while helping maintain disciplined risk posture.
Support Regulatory Readiness: Help maintain an "always-audit-ready" environment. You will assist with operational queries during regulatory examinations, helping document how the bank manages its third-party exposures on a daily basis.
