This is the job
At The AA, keeping our customers, colleagues and partners safe is central to everything we do. We’re looking for a Third Party Security Risk Manager to play a key role in strengthening how we identify, assess and manage security risk across our supplier and B2B partner ecosystem.
You’ll lead the development and operation of a comprehensive third-party security risk framework, providing assurance across the full supplier lifecycle, from onboarding and discovery, through in-life monitoring, to secure offboarding. Working closely with stakeholders across technology, procurement, legal and commercial teams, you’ll ensure security risk is understood, visible and managed in a pragmatic, data-driven way.
This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys combining risk expertise, stakeholder engagement and data storytelling to influence decisions and drive better outcomes.
What will I be doing?
* Lead the end-to-end management of third-party and B2B security risk across the supplier lifecycle, from onboarding and discovery through in-life monitoring to secure offboarding
* Design, operate and continuously improve a third-party technology risk framework that provides clear visibility of supplier risk, controls and assurance status
* Conduct and oversee third-party risk assessments, including discovery of systems, data flows and integrations, ensuring risks are identified, prioritised and managed appropriately
* Build strong relationships with internal stakeholders and external partners, influencing decisions and driving remediation through effective engagement and collaboration
* Develop and deliver data-driven insights, dashboards and reports that translate complex risk information into clear, actionable stories for technical and non-technical audiences
* Work closely with procurement, legal and technology teams to embed security requirements into contracts, governance processes and supplier operating models
What do I need?
* Strong working knowledge of third-party technology risk, with practical experience carrying out discovery, assessment and risk evaluation activities
* Demonstrated experience managing third-party or supply chain IT risk within complex or regulated environments
* Proven ability to build effective relationships and influence outcomes through confident stakeholder engagement at multiple levels
* Well-developed data analytics skills, with experience turning risk data into clear, meaningful insights and compelling narratives for diverse audiences
* Experience operating or contributing to third-party security or technology risk frameworks across supplier onboarding, in-life assurance and offboarding
* Familiarity with assurance practices, audits and continuous monitoring, alongside experience using reporting or analytics tools (such as Power BI or similar) and awareness of relevant security standards (e.g. ISO 27001)
