Groupe de famille d'emploi :

As a Senior Manager of Third-Party Risk Assessment at BMO, you won’t just manage assessments - you’ll shape how we secure hundreds of critical third-party relationships that power one of North America’s leading financial institutions. This is more than a people management role - it’s a chance to build, coach, and elevate a team of experts while leading frontline efforts in cyber defense.

What Makes This Role Stand Out:

• 100% Remote Flexibility: Work remotely while leading a leading team of experienced Third Party Cyber Assessors - most of whom are tenured, and highly skilled in Third Party Risk Assessments
• Strong Peer Collaboration: You’ll partner closely with another senior manager and report directly to a Director who leads a dynamic 20-person assessment team. You’ll never lead in isolation - you’ll be part of a collaborative leadership structure.
• High Impact & Visibility: Lead quality assurance across hundreds of assessments annually, coach Third Party Risk Assessors, engage with executive stakeholders, and help drive resolution of complex risk findings. You’ll be seen as a go-to expert and decision-maker.
• Mission-Driven Culture: Our team thrives in a fast-moving, high-stakes environment where we balance business agility with security, regulatory expectations, and internal audit. This is cyber with real-world impact - where negotiation, leadership, and strategy matter just as much as technical acumen.
• Growth & Thought Leadership: You’ll be expected to challenge the status quo, bring fresh ideas to evolve our assessment model, and stay ahead of emerging threats - while mentoring others to do the same.

What You Bring to the Table:

• 5-10+ years of Cyber Third-Party Risk assessment experience,

• 5+ years in people-leadership (Managerial) role(s)

• CISSP certified

• Deep knowledge of NIST, ISO, or CIS frameworks

• Hands-on experience with major Cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud with a strong understanding of cloud security principles, architectures, and best practices.
• Expert-level capability in interviewing, auditing, documentation, and risk reporting
• Strong coaching instincts and the ability to raise the bar on technical quality
• A calm, assertive presence with proven skills in conflict resolution, negotiation, and influence
• Bonus points for ethical hacking certifications (OSCP, GPEN, CEPT)

You’ll Excel Here If You…

• Love being the calm in the chaos - stepping into crisis calls, leading tough conversations, and helping teams find clarity
• Get energy from teaching others and raising the standard of the whole team
• Aren’t afraid to push back when needed, while still keeping people on your side
• Are a fast learner with the curiosity and technical aptitude to pick up new concepts quickly

Key Responsibilities:

• You are a Quality Assurance Czar. You will be responsible for ensuring all assessments have consistent strong quality and meet the expectations of our stakeholders.
• Train and coach: Work closely with your team of Assessors and provide them feedback on their assessments - this can include both technical and soft skills, like negotiation and communication. Being comfortable challenging others and critiquing the work of others is a must-have.
• Enjoy sharing knowledge. This could include coaching people outside of your team, e.g. explaining to the business a technical security control so that they can better understand the risk.
• Findings management. Review evidence and negotiate the closure of findings with internal teams and third parties.
• Be a thought leader. Bring new ideas to the team and challenge the status quo. The security landscape is always changing - we need to ensure that our assessments are aligned with the latest threats.

Join us if you’re ready to lead with purpose, grow a best-in-class cyber risk team, and help secure the future of banking -
