As a trusted partner to the business, you will ensure that third-party arrangements are effectively managed, compliant, and aligned with the Bank's risk appetite.

• Facilitate regulatory notifications and approvals for new or materially changed third‑party relationships.
• Ensure all third‑party relationships are accurately captured in central inventories and managed in line with internal policies and external regulations.
• Prepare and present risk oversight reports and insights to senior management, risk committees, and governance forums.
• Provide independent Second Line of Defence oversight, identifying, validating, and escalating third‑party risks as appropriate.
• Monitor and assess regulatory changes impacting third‑party risk management (e.g., DORA, MaRisk AT 9).
• Support internal and external audits, as well as regulatory examinations.

Skills and Experience

• Proven experience (minimum 5 years) in Third Party Risk Management, Outsourcing Governance, or Operational Risk, ideally within financial services or a regulated environment.
• Strong knowledge of MaRisk AT 9, DORA, and other European regulatory frameworks related to outsourcing and operational resilience.
• Experience in risk governance, control frameworks, and effective oversight processes.
• Excellent analytical, organisational, and stakeholder management skills.
• Ability to communicate complex regulatory concepts clearly and influence at senior levels.

Qualifications

• University degree or equivalent qualification in Business, Finance, Risk Management, or a related field.
• Fluency in English required; German language skills are highly beneficial.
