**Department:** Vendor Relationship Management Strategy & Planning | **Industry:** Third-Party Risk Management
**Location:** Bengaluru | **Job Type:** Full-time | **CTC:** INR 23.5-33.9 LPA
### Role Overview
An opening exists for an Assistant Manager – Vendor Relationship Management Strategy & Planning to join the Third-Party Risk Management vertical, focused on Vendor Relationship Management Strategy & Planning. The role is positioned at the mid level and reports into the broader Vendor Relationship Management Strategy & Planning charter.
### Key Responsibilities
- Own end-to-end delivery of tasks related to vendor relationship management strategy & planning.
- Apply working knowledge of Stakeholder Reporting and Vendor Relationship Management Strategy to daily execution.
- Coordinate with cross-functional stakeholders within Third-Party Risk Management.
- Maintain documentation and reporting as required by the team lead.

### Additional Notes
Most days include at least one review checkpoint where progress is discussed against the plan for the week. There is a defined internal mobility path for people who want to specialise deeper or move into people management. The hiring process typically includes a screening round, a technical or functional assessment, and a final discussion with the reporting manager. Relocation assistance may be extended for candidates moving from a different city, subject to approval. The organisation places a premium on ownership; once a task is assigned, the expectation is to see it through without hand-holding. There's usually a block of uninterrupted time set aside for focused work, separate from meetings and coordination calls. Shortlisted applicants will be evaluated on both domain knowledge and practical problem-solving ability. Candidates are encouraged to highlight measurable outcomes from previous roles rather than just responsibilities held. Priorities can shift mid-week depending on business needs, so adaptability matters as much as technical depth. High performers in this role typically move into a broader ownership scope within 18-24 months.
