About the role 

At Nubank, we challenge the status quo to strengthen our ownership of risk management, aligning global and local processes with our strategic objectives.

The main objective is to ensure that third parties critical to the business are properly assessed, monitored, and managed, promoting operational continuity, information security, and regulatory compliance. This function will also connect business areas, Procurement, and risk assessment teams, ensuring that the third-party lifecycle happens in a secure, efficient, and standardized way. The role has global scope, covering the locations where Nubank operates and future expansion geographies, with direct interface with different regulatory regimes and active banking licenses.

• Collaborating with risk domains and stakeholders to define and review controls, processes, and vendor assessment criteria.
• Generating and monitoring Key Risk Indicators that represent third-party risk status globally.
• Representing TPRM as a 2nd Line of Defense function before regulators and auditors (BCB, CNBV, SFC, FFIEC/OCC, FMA), acting as the technical point of contact for exams and questions on vendor methodology and controls.
• Coordinating RCSA processes and executing Risk Assessment & Internal Control Testing (RA&ICT) activities within the TPRM scope.
