ABOUT THIS ROLE

We are an AI company building tools for vendor onboarding and third-party risk management. Our AI processes vendor applications, conducts automated due diligence checks (financial health, sanctions, cybersecurity posture, insurance), assigns risk scores, and triggers ongoing monitoring alerts — the same process that vendor management and procurement teams run today at banks, IT companies, and large enterprises. We need people who have personally onboarded vendors or managed third-party risk programmes and can tell us from real process experience what the AI needs to do better.

WORKFLOWS COVERED

Vendor qualification and due diligence — financial health checks, background verification, sanctions screening, cyber risk assessment, insurance review
Vendor Due Diligence (Know Your Vendor / KYV) — vendor classification by risk tier, conflict of interest checks, beneficial ownership verification
Contract and agreement management — MSA, SOW, NDA review, terms tracking, renewal alerts
Ongoing vendor performance monitoring — SLA tracking, KPI reviews, periodic re-assessment
Vendor offboarding — data return, access revocation, transition planning, liability management

WHAT YOU WILL DO

Share how vendor onboarding and third-party risk management work in practice — the due diligence steps, risk tiering logic, ongoing monitoring, and the judgement calls that arise across different vendor types
Review vendor risk frameworks, onboarding process designs, or due diligence outputs and tell us where they miss what a real vendor management professional would flag
Help us understand how third-party risk decisions are made in practice — what drives risk classifications, how red flags are handled, what escalation looks like in a real procurement environment
Advise on what good vendor management and TPRM looks like based on your experience running or working within a real vendor onboarding and risk programme
