Role Summary / Purpose

The Solution Delivery Manager, Third Party Risk Management (TPRM) is responsible for driving end-to-end delivery of the TPRM program and related solutions across the Risk & Compliance program portfolio. The role leads structured delivery across concurrent workstreams and owns the operating rhythm and TPRM PMO communications for the various project teams and stakeholders.

This role is the delivery engine of the team. This role owns the project teams’ operating rhythm, executive project reporting, and delivery stakeholder management to translate program priorities into structured delivery plans and predictable execution. This role is the early-warning system for risks, assumptions, issues, and dependencies (RAID) across the project portfolio and owns the development and execution of the TPRM PMO communications plan. It partners closely with Change Management and Communications, who own change strategy, training, and audience-facing content, to align on timing, sequencing, and integration of external communications with the delivery plan.

• Produce executive-ready project reporting that give leadership decision-ready visibility into delivery progress, risks, and outcomes.
• Maintain a clear line of sight to delivery health across concurrent workstreams and communicate status with a consistent, disciplined cadence.
• Identify and manage alignment across delivery stakeholders; ensuring to coordinate cross-pillar communication so that concurrent initiatives land without defaulting coordination and reporting back to leadership.

Internal TPRM PMO Communications

• Develop and execute the TPRM PMO communications plan, including status updates, executive readouts, cross-pillar syncs, and internal delivery announcements.
• Own the cadence, quality, and consistency of internal PMO communications across the TPRM program and Risk & Compliance portfolio.
• Ensure delivery decisions, changes in scope, and milestone shifts are communicated clearly, promptly, and to the right audiences.
• Partner with Change Management and Communications, who own change strategy, training, and audience-facing content, to align on timing, sequencing, and integration of external communications with the delivery plan.
