As that ecosystem grows in complexity, so does the risk it carries - and regulators are paying close attention. NIS2 and DORA are not future considerations here. They are operational realities.As TPRM Lead you own the end-to-end Third Party Risk Management programme - from framework and governance through to supplier assessments, continuous monitoring, and procurement integration. This is not an assessment execution role. You are here to mature the programme, increase its organisational reach, and make third-party cyber risk visible and manageable at every level of the business.You will work from within the CISO Office, partnering with Procurement, Legal, Compliance, Risk, Data Privacy, and IT. You will need to influence without formal authority - and you will have the mandate to do it.You are a senior TPRM professional who has built or significantly matured a third-party risk programme in a complex enterprise environment. You know how to assess a supplier, but more importantly you know how to design a programme that scales, earns organisational trust, and keeps pace with a shifting regulatory landscape. You are comfortable in a room with senior stakeholders, confident presenting risk data to the board, and able to push back constructively when a high-risk vendor is being fast-tracked without proper scrutiny.Experience5+ years hands-on experience in Third Party Risk Management7+ years in Cyber Security, IT Risk, Information Security, or GRCProven track record leading or maturing a TPRM programme in a large enterpriseExperience influencing senior stakeholders and embedding security controls into procurement and supplier governance processesFamiliarity with critical infrastructure or regulated sector environments is a strong plusKnowledge and ExpertiseDeep understanding of TPRM frameworks - vendor risk assessments, risk tiering, continuous monitoring, fourth-party risk, supply chain security, and exception managementStrong knowledge of relevant regulations and standards - NIS2, DORA, ISO 27001, NIST CSF, GDPRHands-on experience with at least one GRC/TPRM platform - ServiceNow GRC, OneTrust, Archer, ProcessUnity or similarSolid grounding in information security domains - cloud security, identity and access management, incident management, and BCDRSkills and CompetenciesOwnership mindset - you take accountability for the programme, not just the tasksExecutive presence - you communicate risk clearly to senior stakeholders and translate complexity into decisionsAnalytical and data-driven - you use risk data to drive prioritisation, not just report statusAutomation mindset - you look for ways to increase coverage and reduce manual effort through tooling and process designCollaborative - you influence across Legal, Procurement, Risk, IT, and Business without formal authorityCertifications (preferred)CISSP, CISM, or CRISCISO 27001 Lead Implementer or Lead AuditorCertified Third Party Risk Professional (CTPRP) is a strong plusYou will be part of the CISO Office at Eneco, working within a security organisation that sits at the intersection of a major energy transition and a rapidly evolving regulatory environment.
