The opportunity
Our Group Third Party Risk team (a line 1 function) is responsible for the overall governance and management framework for third parties at an enterprise level, including setting policies and standards, and ensuring effective governance, oversight and control is in place.
The team works collaboratively with third party risk teams in the operating divisions and plays a key role in ensuring that relevant local requirements are represented in enterprise frameworks, and that emerging regulations and emerging risks are considered. They work with the business, procurement, risk domain owners and line 2 risk in driving adoption of new compliance to new policies and regulations and in building an understanding of our overall risk profile, controls and mitigations.

In conjunction with other leaders in Operational Risk, Business Continuity and IT/Cyber risk, your leadership and expertise will help strengthen QBE’s overall approach to building operational resilience.
