Connect to your Industry
As Deloitte UK’s reliance on third parties continues to grow, effective third-party risk management is increasingly critical to protecting the firm from financial, operational, regulatory and reputational risk. Regulators and clients are placing greater scrutiny on how organisations manage their extended supply chain, including the extent to which third parties meet relevant regulatory, contractual and policy requirements.
This role sits within Deloitte’s second line of defence and plays a key part in managing the firm’s Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) capability. The TPRM programme helps the business identify, assess and manage the risks that arise when Deloitte procures or uses third-party goods and services, whether to support the firm’s operations or the delivery of client engagements.
You will play a pivotal role in helping the business make informed, risk-based decisions about third-party relationships and in strengthening how associated risks are understood, governed and managed across the firm.

The role is a 12-month fixed-term Manager position within the Third-Party Risk Management team in Quality, Risk and Security (QRS), providing paternity cover while ensuring continuity of business-as-usual delivery and maintaining momentum across strategic priorities.

- Own the development and production of management information, governance reporting and SteerCo outputs, ensuring stakeholders have clear insight into TPRM performance, risks, opportunities and priorities.
- Use dashboards and performance data to track TPRM delivery, monitor outcomes and identify opportunities to improve the framework and end-to-end Third-Party Lifecycle process.
- Monitor regulatory developments, internal policy requirements and emerging third-party risk themes, translating insight into practical actions that inform decision-making and strengthen adherence across the business.
- Drive strategic initiatives on behalf of the program including ESG, critical third parties, nth party risk, external data providers, data and process improvement, ensuring delivery remains aligned to firmwide priorities and emerging risk themes.
- Engage and collaborate with stakeholders at all levels across the business, QRM, Risk, Procurement, Vendor Management and third parties to support effective third-party risk management outcomes.
- Set communication and awareness strategies for TPRM and wider supply chain risk management with oversight of documented accessible guidance both internally and externally.
