About the role
Job Description
The Third‑Party Risk Management (TPRM) Senior Associate plays a critical role in the execution, operation, and continued maturity of the firm’s TPRM program. This role requires strong hands‑on experience across supplier lifecycle management, from intake and onboarding through ongoing monitoring and termination, as well as deep operational involvement in inherent and residual risk assessments, control evaluations, issue management, and risk reporting.
The ideal candidate will be operationally proficient, able to contribute immediately to day‑to‑day TPRM activities, and ensure that TPRM operations run smoothly, efficiently, and in alignment with established frameworks, regulatory expectations, and internal standards. This role involves active participation in the implementation of process enhancements, system changes, and new risk workflows, while also supporting program scalability and continuous improvement.
Success in this role requires strong problem‑solving skills, effective communication and stakeholder engagement, and the ability to adapt quickly in a dynamic and evolving risk environment. The Senior Associate is expected to move beyond purely task‑based execution by applying sound judgment, identifying process improvement opportunities, and partnering closely with cross‑functional teams to deliver practical, value‑driven risk outcomes.
The right candidate will bring the experience and mindset necessary to be an active contributor to the execution, stabilization, and maturation of Grant Thornton’s TPRM program, balancing operational rigor with flexibility, innovation, and a customer‑first approach.
