The Vendor Governance & Controls Analyst is a manager-level governance and enablement role. Unlike risk assessment or procurement functions, this role exists to ensure that the right people are doing the right vendor management activities — with the right rigor, at the right time. This individual serves as a governance enforcer, business enabler, and accountability champion: coaching Vendor Relationship Managers (VRMs) through governance requirements, facilitating vendor lifecycle training for business unit leaders, and driving measurable accountability for scorecard execution and vendor performance standards across the enterprise.

This role operates as the bridge between established vendor management policy and the day-to-day behavior of business stakeholders who own vendor relationships. Success in this position requires the rare combination of governance expertise, training facilitation skill, executive influencing ability, and an unwavering commitment to behavioral accountability within third-party oversight.

What You’ll Do

• VRM RFP Navigation & Coaching — Serve as a dedicated business controls advisor to Vendor Relationship Managers (VRMs) throughout the RFP process; coach VRMs on evaluation frameworks, scoring methodologies, and documentation standards without owning the RFP process itself.
• Vendor Lifecycle Training Facilitation — Design and facilitate end-to-end Vendor Lifecycle Training programs for VRMs, business unit leaders, and cross-functional stakeholders — translating existing procedures and risk frameworks into actionable, role-specific learning experiences that drive consistent vendor management behavior across the enterprise.
• Scorecard Accountability Enforcement — Act as the accountability owner for vendor scorecard execution; partner with business leaders to drive timely scorecard completion, facilitate performance review cadences, escalate non-compliance to senior leadership, and ensure that scorecard outcomes drive tangible vendor management actions — not just documentation.
