A career as a Chief Advisor, Governance & Oversight of Third-Party Risk Management means playing a key role in the Bank’s operational soundness and resilience vis‑à‑vis its third parties, by translating regulators’ prudential requirements and governance bodies’ expectations into concrete, sustainable and measurable operational practices for the Bank. Your role is based within the Principal Directorate, Governance and Transformation of Operational and Third‑Party Risks, in the Bank’s second line of defence. Without formal hierarchical authority, your role positions you as a Practice Lead within the team, where your influencing skills will be leveraged to achieve your objectives in this key role. Through your expertise in governance and oversight of third‑party risk management, as well as your ability to structure, prioritise and ensure the effective day‑to‑day operation of the third‑party risk management framework, you directly contribute to regulatory compliance, risk reduction and the sustained enhancement of the Bank’s operational maturity. This role requires demonstrated leadership that will ensure your success within the team you are joining.

Be at the forefront of discussions with the Bank’s Internal Audit and regulators regarding the adequacy or inadequacy of governance oversight, methodological aspects or execution by stakeholders. Structure and sustain governance rituals: follow‑ups, dashboards, indicators, escalation mechanisms and issue management. Review, challenge and ensure the consistency of risk and control assessments (risks and controls, KRIs/KPIs, incidents, losses, scenarios) based on the real operational expectations of the third‑party risk management framework in order to identify gaps and required improvements. Oversee both the monitoring of third‑party risk management and the monitoring itself within a coherent and sustainable logical sequence: critical third parties, disruption tolerances, testing, continuity and recovery. Ensure the quality of documentation, its accessibility based on target audiences (access management), traceability and the robustness of deliverables related to each of the points outlined above. Your team You will be part of a governance and transformation team for operational and third‑party risks, composed of several other senior advisers, and you will work closely with risk domain experts, business lines, operations, technology teams and corporate functions across the Bank.
