Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) Risk Analyst

Description:

The key objectives of the TPRM Program are to:

• Assess the risk of third-party relationships which drive the rigor of risk management activities both during the third-party onboarding and ongoing monitoring lifecycle phases using the TPRM Program’s formula-based risk methodology
• Act as a liaison across key internal stakeholder teams (Procurement, Legal, Enterprise Security and the Business) to ensure clear and accurate communication of third-party risks aligned to risk management activities in order to complete risk assessments in a timely manner
• Identify TPRM program enhancements aimed at the effective and efficient management of third-party risk in order to support Business strategic initiatives

Reporting to the TPRM Manager, the TPRM Risk Analyst will be expected to have strong experience operating in a risk-based, data-driven model that will accommodate the business’s need to onboard vendors in a shortened timeframe, all while managing expectations and heightened scrutiny of both internal and external stakeholders including our customers. The TPRM Risk Analyst will understand and clearly communicate not only the “What” but also the “Why” in terms of third-party risk management activities in order to support efficient and effective third-party risk management as MongoDB continues to grow. This role requires substantial ability to interpret data and apply risk knowledge and judgment as the TPRM Risk Analyst manages a complex ecosystem of data, regulations, and stakeholder relationships while continuously identifying areas of enhancement to support effective third-party risk management.

We are looking to speak to candidates who are based in Dublin for our hybrid working model.
