Your job

As a Supplier Contract Risk Manager IT, you work closely with a wide range of stakeholders to ensure effective risk management across your contract portfolio. The Platform & Technologies domain includes critical hybrid IT services delivered to ABN AMRO, requiring continuous monitoring of operational resilience, with a strong focus on cybersecurity, supply chain security, and data privacy.

What does your week look like?

You start your week with a team catch‑up, connecting on both a personal and professional level and aligning on the priorities ahead. From there, you prepare risk‑focused discussions with suppliers and internal stakeholders, bringing the right insights to the table. Throughout the week, you assess new suppliers, stay on top of developments in your domain, and actively monitor and manage risks across your portfolio. You work closely with Contract Owners to keep contracts up to date and compliant, while identifying potential risks and driving practical mitigation measures. Through open and constructive engagement with suppliers, you help strengthen collaboration and continuously improve the overall risk profile‑ making a tangible contribution to the bank’s resilience.

• Advise and support business units and Procurement in selecting, contracting, and managing suppliers, ensuring Third Party Risk Management (TPRM) processes and best practices are consistently applied
• Identify, assess, monitor, and drive the mitigation of supplier and contract risks throughout the full contract lifecycle
• Maintain oversight of the supplier portfolio and associated risk profiles, proactively identifying risks, bottlenecks, and improvement opportunities
• Perform and support analyses on aggregation and concentration risks, translating outcomes into clear insights for stakeholders
• Coordinate risk governance by communicating, escalating, and following up on supplier risks with key stakeholders (e.g. Contract Owners, Procurement, Security, Risk, Audit)

• Contribute to the continuous improvement of TPRM processes, tools, and reporting to strengthen ABN AMRO’s risk management capabilities and digital resilience
• Raise awareness of supplier risk management practices and support stakeholders
• Coordinate the implementation of relevant regulatory changes, e.g. DORA / Third Party Risk Management
• Depending on your experience and seniority, supporting junior colleagues in the team through training, mentoring and coaching

Working environment

You will join the Supplier Contract Risk Management (SCRM) department, part of the Corporate Information Security Office (CISO) which employs approximately 450 colleagues who are responsible for the bank's information security globally, across all subsidiaries and countries. SCRM play an important role in strengthening how the bank manages Third Party Risk - helping make better supplier decisions, improving risk oversight, and ultimately contributing to the bank's resilience. Since launching in 2025, the team has grown to around 30 colleagues across IT and Non‑IT domains and Branches. You’ll join the IT team, working closely with Contract Owners and a broad network of stakeholders across Tech, Cyber Security, Procurement, Legal, Compliance, Finance, and Risk functions. It is a collaborative environment where you are constantly connecting the dots between different perspectives.

You will operate right at the intersection of risk, regulation, and technology- working on topics like DORA, cybersecurity, and digital resilience. The scope is wide, covering higher‑risk IT supplier engagements, which means your work has real visibility and impact across the organisation.

Your profile

As a Supplier Contract Risk Manager, you are comfortable operating in a complex stakeholder environment and know how to build trust across functions. You combine strong analytical thinking with a pragmatic, solution‑oriented mindset, and you take ownership in driving improvements. You are proactive by nature, able to challenge constructively, and focused on delivering tangible results.

What You Bring

• 2 - 5 years of relevant experience in risk management and/or contract management, with a clear understanding of risk as an integral part of decision-making
• Experience in one or more specialised risk domains such as information security, data privacy, business continuity, financial/credit risk, or Third Party Risk Management (including DORA)
• Experience in or knowledge of the banking and financial sector, including IT-related environments
• Strong analytical capabilities, with a structured, results‑driven approach and the ability to work independently
• Proven experience in effective stakeholder management across business, procurement, and risk functions
• Ability to translate regulatory requirements into practical, workable processes and controls
• Familiarity with contract management methodologies is preferred (e.g. CATS CM)
