JSS Search are currently recruiting for a commercially minded Third Party Risk Manager to take ownership of a newly introduced Third Part Risk Function. The business has recently implemented Coupa RPMA (Risk & Performance Management) system & will need support rolling this out.
This role sits within an established procurement function and offers a strong blend of third-party risk management, system ownership, stakeholder engagement, and entry-level category management. The focus is on managing supplier risk in a pragmatic, risk-based way that supports the business rather than slows it down.
What you’ll be doing:
Supplier Risk & Coupa RPMA

* Manage supplier onboarding and ongoing risk assessments
* Maintain questionnaires, workflows, scoring logic and approval routes
* Track supplier risks, actions and mitigations with internal SMEs
* Produce clear MI on supplier risk status, volumes and trends
* Act as the main liaison with IT and Coupa support on system changes and improvements
Stakeholder & Supplier Management
* Act as the first point of contact for internal stakeholders on supplier onboarding and risk
* Advise stakeholders on when risk assessments are required and how outcomes are applied
* Manage supplier communications relating to questionnaires, follow-ups and remediation
What we’re looking for
Essential
* 2–5 years’ experience in procurement, supplier risk, third-party risk, or supplier onboarding
* Hands-on experience using procurement or risk systems (Coupa strongly preferred)
* Good understanding of supplier risk areas (e.g. information security, H&S, ESG, compliance)
* Strong stakeholder engagement and supplier communication skills
* Highly organised, detail-focused and comfortable managing multiple workflows
Desirable
* Direct experience with Coupa RPMA / TPRM
* Exposure to indirect procurement category management
* Experience with supplier assurance platforms (e.g. SafeContractor, Achilles, EcoVadis)
About you
* Pragmatic, commercially aware and solutions-focused
* Comfortable balancing governance with business needs
* Systems-minded and process-driven, but able to operate in environments where processes and compliance are still maturing
