Additionally, the role involves managing regular reports from suppliers and compiling management reports for the executive team to summarise performance and compliance across suppliers.

Key areas of responsibility:

• Support compliance with regulatory obligations, including SYSC8 and PRA outsourcing responsibilities.
• Manage the outsourcing framework from end-to-end: support onboarding and ongoing management of suppliers.

About you:

• Strong analytical skills, proficient in Excel, with experience in reporting tools such as Power BI or Tableau.
• Experience conducting due diligence on third parties and managing contracts with attention to detail.
• Ability to manage multiple stakeholders internally and externally, building strong relationships.
• Awareness of relevant regulations (e.g., SYSC8, Operational Resilience) is advantageous.
• Experience in supplier management, cost control, or budgeting is a plus but not essential.
• Excellent organisational and project management skills.

What we offer:

8% company pension contribution and 3% employee contribution (with options to increase).

Top-tier private medical cover with WPA, including no excess, with family options via salary sacrifice.
