At a glance

Are you the Third Party Risk Specialist who not only executes but also contributes ideas on how ABN AMRO’s policy and framework should take shape? We are looking for someone who can operate at a strategic and policy level to help develop our Third Party Risk Management.

Procurement is a strategic partner for purchasing and supplier-related matters. In addition to standard procurement processes, you will be actively involved in partnerships between ABN AMRO and external organizations and play a key role in managing risks within third-party relationships.

You know the market and stay informed about trends and developments within specific procurement categories. As an expert in third-party risk management, you play a crucial role with a focus on continuous improvement of ABN AMRO and strengthening the bank’s risk posture. This goes beyond security assessments: we are looking for someone who understands how to design, implement, and continuously improve a framework.

Your job

As a Third Party Risk Specialist at ABN AMRO, you will analyze risks in the supply chain and develop strategies to effectively mitigate these risks.

• You will design and deliver training programs on third-party risk management, helping employees improve their knowledge and skills.
• Implementing improvements within procurement using agile methods is an essential part of your role, requiring flexibility and innovation.
• You will coordinate change initiatives with internal and external stakeholders, requiring strong communication skills to balance diverse interests.
• Finally, you will optimize processes focused on risk control and customer interests, while working closely with suppliers to manage risks effectively and report results to management.

Working environment

Procurement is ABN AMRO’s central purchasing and supplier management department, working with the business to find the best solutions for the bank. This includes setting objectives, conducting market research, selecting suppliers, managing tenders, negotiations, and supplier and contract risk management after procurement.

You will work in a hybrid setup—both from home and at the Zuidas office in Amsterdam—in a team of 6 colleagues (90 in total for Procurement). Procurement falls under Innovation & Technology, reporting to the CITO, and you will report directly to the Head of Supply Chain Risk. Internal stakeholders include employees from all entities within the bank, including international branches and subsidiaries. We are results-driven and have an informal culture.

Your profile

• At least 7 years of experience, including proven experience with:
  • Implementing and applying risk frameworks in organizations
  • Third-party risk monitoring and supplier management
  • Translating policy into processes and training stakeholders
• Strong analytical skills and experience with tools such as Excel and PowerBI
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills in English and willing to learn Dutch
• You support colleagues and foster a culture of accountability and continuous improvement. You ensure timely, high-quality results, even in uncertain or changing situations.
• You ensure compliance with internal risk and control frameworks, improving audit readiness and regulatory status.

We are offering

At Procurement, you will develop both your soft and hard skills. There is plenty of room for growth - within your role, upward, or sideways - everything you need to start energized!

Additionally, we offer:

• The gross monthly salary shown at the top of the page is based on a 36-hour workweek, including holiday allowance and benefit budget.
• A benefit budget of 11% of your salary. If you make no purchases or reservations in the Benefit Shop in a given month, you will receive one-twelfth of your benefit budget as a payout.
• Five weeks of vacation per year, plus the day after Ascension Day and May 5th off. You can buy up to four extra weeks annually.
• A personal development budget of €1,000 per year (can be saved up to €3,000).
• Possibility to work from home (in consultation with your team and depending on your role).
• An annual public transport subscription for free travel throughout the Netherlands.
