Senior Expert in Third-Party Risk Management as a Service
Resilience is a company's capacity to absorb stress, recover critical functionalities, and thrive in altered circumstances. It is especially important today because the business environment is becoming more dynamic and unpredictable, while we are facing various disruptions from extreme weather events, power outages, political turbulences to virus outbreaks.
Allianz Services within Allianz Technology offers a service aligned with the global Protection & Resilience Service Line to ensure that Allianz Group can respond effectively and efficiently to changes and sudden disruptions, protecting business operations (IT and Non-IT), personnel, and physical assets. Allianz Services plays a key role in implementing the core professional, procedural, and organizational requirements set by the Group Protection & Resilience team to anticipate, prepare for, and adapt to these changes and disruptions.
Third Party Risk Management (TPRM) is a critical component of our Protection & Resilience efforts. Developed through joint efforts among various Allianz entities, with Barcelona playing a crucial role. The TPRM framework will be particularly guided by the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA). We are building a TPRM team in Barcelona responsible for offering, delivering, and managing the TPRM lifecycle as a service to all Allianz Operational Entities. In doing so, we are looking for several positions with relevant experience in Outsourcing or TPRM, although other related experiences (i.e., ICT Security, Contract Management, ERM) may also be considered.
