Senior Consultant

We are seeking an analytical and commercial Senior Consultant to join our team, focusing on global vendor acquisition, risk evaluation, and contract negotiations. In this role, you will act as a primary interface for sourcing, vetting, and onboarding external service providers—specifically across the corporate training and education sector—while ensuring full adherence to internal compliance, privacy, and risk governance protocols.

This position balances commercial acumen with rigorous risk assessment. You will identify key service partners across international markets, evaluate vendor risk profiles, negotiate pricing structures, and manage the end-to-end supplier onboarding process.

• Professional Background: Proven track record in Procurement, Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM), Vendor Management, or Corporate Compliance.
• Risk & Governance Expertise: Direct familiarity with formal corporate onboarding frameworks, including ABC checks, reputational media screening, and privacy/data protection evaluations (PIA). Prior exposure to internal EY risk tools (e.g., BRIDGE) is a distinct advantage.
• Negotiation & Commercial Skills: Hands-on experience negotiating contract terms, service rates, and pricing models with external vendors.
• Advanced Analytics: High proficiency in Microsoft Excel (data manipulation, financial modeling, reporting) alongside strong research capabilities.
• Communication & Diligence: Exceptional attention to detail with the confidence to manage external partner relationships independently.

Highly Desirable (Nice-to-Have):

• Familiarity with the corporate Learning & Development (L&D) ecosystem and experience identifying professional training providers across international markets.
