• Monitor and support the effective implementation of the TPRM Framework across our Provision businesses and BGIUK Functions.
• Provide clear, practical advice to Accountable Executives and Relationship Owners so they can meet their responsibilities confidently.
• Deliver first‑line assurance activities, helping teams understand what strong compliance looks like in day‑to‑day practice.
• Lead and deliver TPRM‑related training so colleagues have the skills and knowledge they need.
• Collate and track key TPRM data, including controls, indicators and remediation activity, so risks are visible and managed well.
• Make sure Provision and Functions have the right level of resourcing, capability and support to manage third‑party risk effectively.
• Work within Bupa's policies, frameworks and regulatory standards, supporting stakeholders to meet their obligations under the Senior Managers and Certification Regime (SMCR).

• Extensive subject‑matter knowledge of TPRM strategies, frameworks and regulatory requirements.
• Proven experience leading and embedding TPRM in a large, complex organisation.
• Strong ability to influence and build relationships in a matrix environment, working effectively with senior leaders and peers.
• A positive, inclusive leadership style that inspires teams and encourages high performance.
