About This Opportunity

In the Corporate & Institutional Bank (CIB) our Supplier Managers make the difference every day and are fundamental in executing our strategy and delivering upon our purpose.

CIB is on a growth strategy, we’re deepening our relationships with Clients, we’re developing new propositions and in doing so we’re Helping Britain Prosper by supporting some of the largest Businesses across the UK.

A key element in delivering our strategy is the partnerships we're building with 3rd parties from FinTech’s through to established organisations. These relationships are critical in delivering resilient and innovative services and solutions to our clients.

Due to the expansion of the team, we're looking for a highly motivated individual, who can develop and manage a portfolio of Suppliers, who can work in partnerships both with external providers and internal senior stakeholders to ensure services are resilient, are provided in line with our policies and in line with contract and business expectations.

Using your relationship management skills, you’ll balance holding our supply partners to account for delivering the key services we expect whilst working in partnership to identify continuous additional mutual value. This role reports directly into the Senior Supplier Manager and is part of an established team of supplier managers.
