This role leads a risk-driven regulatory change programme to deliver and sustain DORA compliance for ICT third-party services (critical and non-critical suppliers). It translates regulatory expectations into a practical delivery roadmap, prioritised, sequenced and measurable, so outcomes land in BAU, not just in documentation. Accountable for end-to-end execution, the role drives progress across Technology, Procurement, Legal, Vendor Owners and Risk: managing competing priorities, dependencies and delivery risk, and removing blockers to maintain momentum in live BAU environments. This role should be comfortable making proportionate, risk-based decisions with incomplete information and progressing delivery as requirements and frameworks evolve; maintaining regulatory confidence through clear governance, timely escalation and audit-ready evidence.
Job Responsibility:
Lead delivery of the Third-Party Risk Framework aligned to DORA, ensuring it is implemented and embedded into BAU across functions
Drive delivery of criticality tiering and ICT service classification, aligning Technology, Vendor Owners, Procurement and Risk on decisions and dependencies
Operationalise proportionality rules for critical vs non-critical vendors to enable timely, risk-based decisions and consistent execution across the vendor lifecycle
Run governance and refresh cycles, tracking delivery progress, sequencing activity and managing dependencies to maintain regulatory confidence
Align and socialise roles and responsibilities across the 3 Lines of Defense to enable clear ownership, escalation paths and delivery execution
Deliver pre-contract due diligence and ICT risk assessment standards, coordinating Technology, Vendor Owners, Procurement and Risk to meet milestones
Drive implementation of DORA-aligned contractual clauses and addendums, coordinating Legal and Procurement to resolve issues and keep delivery on track
Coordinate Technology, Vendor Owners, Procurement, Legal and Risk to manage dependencies, resolve blockers and drive onboarding and contracting outcomes
Embed differentiated onboarding requirements based on vendor criticality into BAU processes, ensuring consistent execution across functions
Operationalise standard and enhanced vendor management task sets, aligning Technology, Vendor Owners and Risk on execution expectations and timelines
Drive periodic reassessment of vendor criticality, aligning Technology, Vendor Owners and Risk on risk-based decisions and resulting actions
Coordinate delivery of resilience testing and exit planning for critical ICT suppliers, managing dependencies across Technology, Vendor Owners, Procurement and Risk
Deliver programme reporting to governance and executive forums, providing clear progress, risks, dependencies and decisions required
Coordinate regulatory engagement and audit activity, ensuring timely delivery of evidence and remediation actions across stakeholders
Provide pragmatic DORA third party risk expertise to resolve ambiguity, enable decisions and keep delivery moving
Requirements:
Proven Third Party / Vendor Risk Management experience, delivering improvements across the end-to-end vendor lifecycle
Strong understanding of ICT third party risk and controls, with ability to drive consistent execution across onboarding, contracting and BAU oversight
Experience delivering complex regulatory change in regulated environments, with clear ownership of milestones, dependencies and outcomes
Strong GRC capability, focused on turning requirements into operational controls, evidence and measurable BAU outcomes
Experience interpreting and applying regulatory requirements in a pragmatic, risk-based way to maintain regulatory confidence
Proven ability to operationalise regulatory requirements into BAU, driving delivery plans, sequencing activity and managing cross-functional dependencies
Strong stakeholder management and influencing skills, able to deliver outcomes through Technology, Procurement, Legal, Vendor Owners and Risk without formal authority
