Our client is transforming its Vendor Governance and Third-Party Risk Management framework and processes.

This requirement sits within the vendor management function and is focused on establishing and embedding enterprise-wide supplier governance.

This is a hands-on delivery requirement focused on establishing and embedding vendor management processes, supplier governance, and third-party risk management across the organisation. Working closely with Procurement, Risk, Compliance, Information Security, and business stakeholders, you will create a consistent approach to supplier information management, due diligence, and governance. The client needs someone who can stand up and operationalise a Third-Party Risk Management capability.

What is required?

  • Design and embed vendor governance and third-party risk processes.
  • Establish and manage a central SharePoint repository for supplier information and governance documentation.
  • Engage directly with suppliers to request, validate, and maintain supplier information and risk documentation.
  • Support supplier due diligence, segmentation, and ongoing governance activities.
  • Develop process documentation, governance controls, and operating procedures.
  • Drive process improvements, automation opportunities, and reporting.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
