About the Role

The Third-Party IT Risk Manager leads and modernizes Wolters Kluwer’s global third-party cyber risk management capability. This role ensures third-party engagements align with the organization’s risk appetite, security standards, and regulatory expectations, while leading the execution of a scalable, intelligence-led TPRM program. It focuses on innovation, leveraging automation, technical validation, and continuous monitoring to provide real-time insight into supplier risk.

Responsibilities

Lead and evolve Wolters Kluwer’s global Third Party Risk Management (TPRM) program and operating model.
Modernize TPITRM by shifting from a primarily questionnaire driven approach to a data driven program that incorporates technical validation, continuous monitoring, AI, and risk quantification.
Lead junior team members across the TPRM function to drive successful outcomes.
Implement continuous monitoring capabilities to deliver near real time visibility into third party cyber posture, control performance, and emerging risk indicators.
Design and deploy innovative approaches—including automation and AI assisted techniques—for evidence collection, risk scoring, and exception management.
Continuously assess emerging tools, data sources, and assurance models to improve risk coverage, reduce assessment friction, and enhance signal quality beyond traditional questionnaires.
Review and analyze third party contracts to ensure Company requirements, principles, and assets are sufficiently protected.
Identify technical and functional requirements that do not align or meet Company needs, suggest enhancements, and have them accepted and implemented by the supplier.
Maintain a centralized, enterprise wide inventory of third party relationships, risk tiers, and risk treatment decisions.
Provide clear, concise reporting on third party cyber risk posture, trends, and concentration risk to senior leadership.
Build, lead, and develop a high performing team of third party risk professionals and technical reviewers.
Foster a culture of accountability, innovation, and constructive challenge consistent with Wolters Kluwer values and operating principles.

Requirements

Bachelors degree in computer science, information security, management information systems or similar.
12+ years of experience in cybersecurity, technology risk, or information security, including significant ownership of third party or supplier cyber risk management in large, complex enterprises.
5+ years of leadership (direct managerial experience or functional delivery leading teams).
Proven experience designing and leading a global TPRM program across the full third party risk lifecycle.
Demonstrated success modernizing TPRM by implementing risk based approaches that integrate technical validation, automation, and continuous monitoring.
Demonstrated success owning decisions and outcomes at a senior level independently without formal authority.
Strong technical fluency across cloud platforms, APIs, identity, data flows, and integration architectures.
Experience overseeing advanced technical assessments for high risk or critical third parties, such as architecture reviews, vulnerability assessments, penetration testing, and threat modeling.
Ability to operate effectively in highly distributed, market driven environments.
Demonstrated leadership experience, including building high performing teams and influencing senior stakeholders across Technology, Procurement, Legal, Privacy, and Enterprise Risk Management.
Strong executive communication skills, with experience reporting third party cyber risk posture and trends to senior leadership.
Familiarity with systemic, concentration, and fourth‑party risk.
