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, we’re responding by strengthening and centralising the way we approach this. This is your opportunity to join at an early stage as a Supplier Contract Risk Manager and play a key role in building a new department (launched in April 2025) within the Corporate Information Security Office. You won’t just be part of it — you’ll help shape how we work and how we grow.

Together, we ensure our supplier contracts meet the highest standards of risk management and compliance, contributing directly to ABN AMRO’s digital resilience.

• 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
• Perform and support analyses on aggregation and concentration risks, translating outcomes into clear insights for stakeholders
• Coordinate risk governance by communicating, escalating, and following up on supplier risks with key stakeholders (e.g. 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 the 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 support stakeholders
• Coordinate the implementation of relevant regulatory changes, e.g. DORA / Third Party Risk Management
• Depending on your experience and seniority, supporting junior colleagues in the team through training, mentoring and coaching
