The Third-Party Risk Analyst is a key member of the Operational Risk management team, responsible for ensuring that the organisation effectively manages and mitigates risks associated with its third-party relationships. The role focuses on providing independent review and challenge of Third-Party Management (TPM) processes, overseeing ongoing monitoring, and translating TPM data into actionable insights to proactively identify risk trends and thematic areas requiring review or remediation.

• Oversight and Monitoring: As the second line of defence, oversee and monitor third-party relationships. Evaluate monitoring outputs for completeness, accuracy, and adherence to standards, ensuring that these activities capture both emerging and residual risks.
• Data Analysis and Reporting: Collect, analyse, and interpret data from TPM systems and processes to identify risk trends, control gaps, and potential areas for reviews.
• Review and reporting: Lead or support targeted thematic or deep dive reviews in response to risk signals, incidents, or regulatory changes. Prepare high-quality risk papers, reports, and presentations for informal and formal governance.
• Stakeholder Engagement and Policy Compliance: Engage regularly with first line TPM colleagues, supporting and constructively challenging activities. Monitor compliance with the organisation's TPM policy and associated standards.
• Continuous Improvement and Best Practices: Stay abreast of emerging third-party risk trends, regulatory updates, and industry best practices. Provide constructive challenge to TPM activities to ensure continuous improvement.

• Analytical Expertise: Ability to distil complex data into meaningful insights. Proficient in the use of data analytics tools (e.g., Excel, Power BI).
• Risk Management Acumen: Strong understanding of third-party risk management including the TPM risk management framework, risk assessment methodologies, and control environments.
• Communication Skills: Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to craft clear, compelling papers and presentations for senior audiences.
• Stakeholder Management: Experience collaborating across the three lines of defence and with business stakeholders at all levels.
• Regulatory Awareness: Awareness of relevant regulatory expectations (e.g., FCA, PRA, GDPR) and best practices in third party risk.
• Problem Solving and Judgement: Confidence to challenge constructively, escalate issues when necessary, and propose pragmatic solutions.
• Organisation and Delivery: Strong organisational skills and the capacity to deliver to tight deadlines, managing multiple tasks simultaneously.
