Senior Supplier Contract Risk Manager

Managing Third Party Risk and Supply Chain Risk is becoming more important than ever in a world shaped by increasing cyber threats and growing regulatory expectations. At ABN AMRO, we’re responding by strengthening and centralising the way we approach this. This is your opportunity to join at an early stage as a Supplier Contract Risk Manager and play a key role in building a new department (launched in April 2025) within the Corporate Information Security Office. You won’t just be part of it- you’ll help shape how we work and how we grow.

Together, we ensure our supplier contracts meet the highest standards of risk management and compliance, contributing directly to ABN AMRO’s digital resilience. Are you ready to be part of this?

As a Senior Supplier Contract Risk Manager, you work closely with a wide range of stakeholders to ensure effective risk management across the full supplier contract portfolio, covering IT and/or Non-IT domains or international Branches.

You oversee supplier contracts delivering critical services to ABN AMRO, requiring continuous monitoring of operational resilience, with a strong focus on cybersecurity, supply chain security, and data privacy.

In this role, you act as a senior expert and trusted advisor, providing direction, setting standards, and driving consistency in Contract Risk Management. You take ownership of complex, high-risk supplier relationships and ensure that Third Party Risk Management (TPRM) is executed in line with centrally defined frameworks and regulatory expectations.

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 for 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. As a senior professional, you take a leading role in complex discussions, guide decision-making, and coach colleagues while continuously improving the overall risk profile of the organisation.

Your main tasks and responsibilities:

• 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 interpret analyses on aggregation and concentration risks, translating outcomes into actionable insights for senior stakeholders
• Coordinate risk governance by communicating, escalating, and following up on supplier risks with key stakeholders (e.g. Contract Owners, Procurement, Security, Risk, Audit)
• Ensure risk controls are effectively implemented and monitored, and that required evidence is available for audits and regulatory reviews
• Drive 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
• Act as a subject matter expert and raise awareness of supplier risk management practices across the organisation
• Mentor, coach, and support junior and medior colleagues, contributing to team development and knowledge sharing

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, working closely with a broad network of stakeholders including Cyber Security, Procurement, Legal, Compliance, Finance, and Risk.

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

As a Senior 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 take ownership of driving improvements.

You are a proactive leader who can challenge constructively, influence decision-making, and deliver tangible results.

• Proven experience in complex stakeholder environments across business, procurement, and risk functions
• Experience in or knowledge of the banking and financial sector
• Strong analytical capabilities, with a structured, results-driven approach and the ability to work independently
• Ability to translate regulatory requirements into practical, workable processes and controls
• Experience in leading initiatives, projects, or teams, including mentoring more junior colleagues
• Familiarity with contract management methodologies is preferred (e.g. CATS CM)

At ABN AMRO Procurement, you will join a new, central department where you can make an immediate impact on Third Party and Supply Chain Risk. You ensure that our supplier contracts are secure, compliant, and future-proof. Together with procurement experts, you help build smart, modern risk management that truly makes a difference.
