Company mission
To bring together 5 million volunteers from right across the UK who will be asked to contribute information to help build one of the most detailed pictures we have ever had of people’s health. Researchers will be able to use this information to make new discoveries about human health and diseases. So future generations can live in good health for longer.
Role
Who you are
- To succeed you will be committed to supporting a positive, risk-aware culture that enables delivery, compliance, and innovation. You will also have some of the following skills and experience:
- Experience designing, coordinating or managing supplier assurance or third-party risk processes within a complex or regulated organisation
- Knowledge of procurement, supplier risk, and contract compliance principles
- Understanding of relevant standards and frameworks, e.g. ISO 27001, ISO 9001, ISO 13485, ISO 15189, ISO 17025, and GDPR
- Strong analytical and documentation skills with the ability to communicate risks and recommendations clearly
- Comfortable building productive relationships with internal stakeholders and external suppliers
- Familiarity with audits, compliance reviews, or risk-based supplier assessments
- Methodical, pragmatic, and proportionate in approach—able to balance risk, context, and impact
- Collaborative and credible communicator, able to guide a wide range of stakeholders and facilitate constructive conversations around risk and assurance
- Self-motivated and comfortable working independently while coordinating cross-functional activity
What the job involves
- We are looking for a Third Party Assurance Manager who will play a key role in supporting Our Future Health to deliver on its strategic aims by ensuring supplier risks are well understood, effectively managed, and aligned to wider organisational objectives
- Design, own and continuously improve the organisation’s third-party assurance framework, building on existing foundations
- Coordinate supplier due diligence, onboarding, and ongoing assurance activities based on risk profile, sector, and service type
- Manage a third-party assurance register, maintaining clear documentation of supplier reviews, risk findings, and follow-up actions
- Develop and issue proportionate assurance questionnaires and assessment tools, tailored to supplier and service risk
- Conduct remote and in-person assurance reviews as appropriate
- Identify and escalate supplier risks or compliance gaps and provide clear, evidence-based recommendations for internal decision-makers
- Help ensure alignment between third-party assurance and related processes including internal audits, incident management, and contract governance—supporting coherence without taking ownership of those areas
- Contribute to reporting on supplier risk and assurance activity
- Provide internal guidance and support to promote good assurance practices across the supplier lifecycle, from selection to renewal or exit
- Maintain awareness of and apply relevant standards and regulatory frameworks (e.g. ISO 27001, ISO 9001, ISO 13485, ISO 15189, ISO 17025, GDPR)
- Support wider Assurance Team activities as needed, helping to embed a consistent, proportionate approach to assurance across the organisation

Our take
Millions of people spend too much of their life with poor health, with medical professionals only able to treat diseases when symptoms start to present. But what if later-life diseases could be prevented earlier through a better understanding of public health? Our Future Health is a ground-breaking new study, aiming to collect a blood sample and a short questionnaire from 5 million members of the British public.
One of the two major strands of genomic study in the UK (the other is the Newborn Genomes Program which will be running in parallel), Our Future Health is set to become the largest health research program in the world. With funding from government and the private sector (with particular interest from pharmaceutical investors) it will cement Britain's reputation as a world leader in genomics, and is expected to lead to major advances in the fight against obesity, diabetes, heart disease and other causes of poor health.
Aside from looking for volunteers for the study, Our Future Health is also seeking engineering talent to help build the infrastructure that will gather, analyse and protect the research data. It will be exciting to see how this charity develops and what discoveries emerge from its data in the future.
