Third Party Risk Coordinator(FTC)

TP is seeking an experienced Third-Party Risk Coordinator who will support the day-to-day execution of the company's vendor risk management program, serving as the primary point of contact for low-risk vendors and ensuring due diligence and ongoing oversight are completed in a timely, consistent, and audit-ready manner. This role coordinates the risk review checks, risk rating decisions, manages vendor communications, maintains accurate records in the TPRM platform, and prepares reporting on vendor activity and KPIs, while partnering closely with cross-functional teams to ensure compliance with established processes. The ideal candidate is detail-oriented, highly organized and comfortable managing multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment, with strong communication skills and a foundational understanding of vendor risk management, third-party risk, and general compliance.

Key Responsibilities:

· Intake Verification & Triage: Monitor inbound queues and Tier-1 helpdesk channels. Review incoming business requests for accuracy, manually flagging of incomplete fields or missing documentation.

· Taxonomy Matching & Logging: Review completed vendor questionnaires. Identify standard risks based on provided guidelines (e.g., restricted locations, data handling) and log findings using predefined, copy-paste risk taxonomies.

· Remediation Facilitation & Routing: Route identified risks to the internal business owners using templated messaging to trigger standardized risk acceptance protocols. Escalate complex or non-standard findings to the internal TPRM core team.

· Standardized Approvals & Tracking: Follow clearly defined Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) to execute standard vendor approvals or rejections, ensuring internal stakeholders have real-time visibility into queue progression.
