Supplier Contract Risk Manager Branches

Details

Managing Third Party Risk and Supply Chain Risk is becoming more important than ever in a world shaped by increasing cyber threats and growing regulatory expectations. At ABN AMRO, the Supplier Contract Risk Management (SCRM) department within the Corporate Information Security Office is strengthening and centralising the way it approaches supplier contract risk. This is an opportunity to join at an early stage and help shape a new department launched in April 2025.

Responsibilities

• Advise and support business units and Procurement in selecting, contracting, and managing suppliers, ensuring Third Party Risk Management (TPRM) processes and best practices are consistently applied.
• Identify, assess, monitor, and drive the mitigation of supplier and contract risks throughout the full contract lifecycle.
• Maintain oversight of the supplier portfolio and associated risk profiles, proactively identifying risks, bottlenecks, and improvement opportunities.
• Coordinate risk governance by communicating, escalating, and following up on supplier risks with key stakeholders (Contract Owners, Procurement, Security, Risk, Audit).
• Ensure risk controls are effectively implemented and monitored, and that required evidence is available for audits and regulatory reviews.
• Contribute to continuous improvement of TPRM processes, tools, and reporting to strengthen ABN AMRO’s risk management capabilities and digital resilience.
• Raise awareness of supplier risk management practices and provide virtual training to colleagues in the branches on relevant risk management topics.
• Coordinate the implementation of relevant regulatory changes (e.g. DORA / Third Party Risk Management).
• Depending on experience and seniority, support junior colleagues through training, mentoring and coaching.

Working environment

You will join the Supplier Contract Risk Management department (part of CISO) which focuses on Third Party Risk and digital resilience globally.

You will join the Branches team, working closely with Contract Owners and colleagues within the international entities of Wealth Management (Belgium, Germany, France). The role requires collaboration with stakeholders across Cyber Security, Procurement, Legal, Compliance, Finance, and Risk functions and deals with higher-risk supplier engagements.

A typical week includes virtual cross-border team catch-ups, risk-focused discussions with internal stakeholders and suppliers, assessing new suppliers, continuous monitoring of operational resilience (with strong focus on cybersecurity and data privacy), and keeping contracts up to date and compliant.

Requirements

• Strong analytical capabilities, structured, results-driven approach and ability to work independently.
• Proven experience in effective (international) stakeholder management across business, procurement, and risk functions.
