We are AMS. We are a global total workforce solutions firm; we enable organisations to thrive in an age of constant change by building, re-shaping, and optimising workforces. Our Contingent Workforce Solutions (CWS) service partner with Tesco IMS to support contingent recruitment hiring.

On behalf of Tesco IMS, AMS are now looking for a Third-Party Risk & Assurance Lead for a 12-month contract based in Edinburgh/Newcastle office. The working arrangement is predominantly remote, with in-office presence required twice a month.

Tesco IMS deal in the personal - from pet insurance for your best friend, and home insurance for peace of mind, to motor insurance for your dream car or travel money for that trip you've worked hard for. And that means they always work with heart. Whether they're helping their customers or looking after their people, you'll find there's a warmth and friendliness to everything they do.

Purpose Of The Role

We are seeking a Third-Party Risk & Assurance Lead to support the migration of services from Barclays to Tesco IMS. This includes managing the risk and assurance around the transition of 150+ contracts, ensuring they are effectively onboarded, compliant, and aligned with internal supplier management standards.

Key Responsibilities

• Act as the key liaison between the programme, procurement, and supplier management teams.
• Support and advise on appropriate due diligence strategies and carry out assessments.
• Ensure all contracts are onboarded to the supplier register and assigned correct supplier management treatment.
• Maintain oversight of contract migration activities to identify risks and ensure post-programme continuity.
• Proactively identify issues
  
  

Skills And Qualifications

• Third-party risk management across a variety of service types (technology, operations, etc.).
• Strong understanding of regulatory requirements in third-party management within financial services.
• Excellent stakeholder management and ability to navigate complex internal networks.
• Strong self-direction and ability to work independently.
• Hands-on approach with a problem-solving mindset.
