The Supplier Risk Management team is a part of the Global Sourcing organization at Visa. When Visa buys goods or services from suppliers, we must understand the risk of buying those goods or services.  If there are risks to Visa, we conduct appropriate due diligence on the supplier before the contract is signed. Applying a risk-based approach to engaging suppliers is good, ethical business practice to protect Visa, our employees and our clients.  Moreover, our clients expect us, as one of their critical suppliers, to have a strong supplier risk management program to protect them and their clients and cardholders.  In fact, the banks and Visa are subject to various regulatory (e.g. Bank of England, FFIEC) and legal requirements put in place to protect consumers. Visa’s supplier risk management program is designed to ensure we meet all these requirements.

This role is to support the Supplier Risk Management Program. The primary purpose of this position is to evaluate incoming supplier engagements and ensure suppliers are accurately and efficiently risk assessed in Visa's Supplier Risk Manager tool. This includes assessing supplier engagement for risk exposure by validating services and inherent risks, working with risk stakeholder programs (Anti-Bribery, Physical Security, Data Privacy, etc.) to complete due diligence requirements and determine residual risks, and work closely with all parties to resolve and close risk issues. Since, this is one of the most critical steps in the process to determine potential risk levels of the incoming supplier engagements, this role will be required to co-ordinate with Business Owners wherever necessary to obtain detailed information or clarification and document updates as evidences of change in engagement records. This role will also need to identify risk profiles of the incoming engagement and evaluate existing information to be able to leverage previous due diligence conducted. This role will need to ensure timely maintenance and updates for supplier profiles in the Visa Supplier Manager tool which includes: new suppliers are validated and set up in the VSM tool on a timely basis; parent/child relationships are correctly connected, etc.
