In the Senior Compliance Risk Manager - Third Party Risk Management (TPRM) role, you will play a crucial part in safeguarding Mercury, our customers, and the broader financial ecosystem from the risks associated with third parties. Reporting to the Senior Manager of Compliance Governance & Oversight, you will be responsible for maturing our TPRM program by driving process optimization, workflow enhancements, and ultimately managing and minimizing the impact of third-party risks.
