The Role

We are seeking an experienced Delivery lead to work on the design/future state concentration risk capability across a large, complex and highly regulated organisation.

The role will be responsible for working with internal stakeholders to develop a strategic concentration risk assessment methodology that provides greater visibility of supplier dependencies, common points of failure and supply-chain exposures across the enterprise. This includes evaluating emerging industry capabilities, supporting pilot activities, and defining the business, process and technology requirements required to embed the methodology into a long-term strategic solution.

Experience & Skills Required

• Strong experience in third-party risk management, concentration risk, outsourcing, operational resilience or supplier risk within a regulated environment, ideally financial services.
• Proven ability to design and implement risk assessment methodologies, frameworks and operating models that support strategic risk management objectives.
• Deep understanding of supplier dependencies, concentration risk, common points of failure, material subcontractors and wider supply chain ecosystems.
• Experience developing risk models, assessment criteria, risk indicators and decision-support tools to support effective risk-based decision making.
• Strong understanding of current and emerging regulatory expectations relating to third-party risk, outsourcing and operational resilience.
• Experience assessing supplier dependencies across products, services, technologies, geographies and critical business processes.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to translate complex data and risk information into actionable insights.
• Experience evaluating or implementing dependency discovery, supply chain intelligence, risk analytics or related technology solutions.
• Proven ability to design and execute pilots, proof-of-concepts and validation activities, translating outcomes into scalable target-state solutions.
• Strong stakeholder management and influencing skills, with the ability to work effectively across Procurement, Risk, Technology, Operational Resilience and business teams.
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to present complex risk concepts and recommendations to senior stakeholders and governance forums.

Desirable Experience

• Experience with supply chain mapping, supplier graphing or dependency discovery tools (e.g. Magnitude or equivalent platforms).
• Experience leading concentration risk, operational resilience, critical third-party or regulatory remediation initiatives.
• Experience engaging with regulators, Internal Audit, Second Line Risk functions or Board-level governance forums.
• Experience supporting large-scale risk transformation, operating model change or third-party risk enhancement programmes.
