## Description

## Third Party Risk Senior Manager, APAC

OpenAI is building a world-class supplier risk and third-party risk program to support our global growth across hardware, infrastructure, and critical partner ecosystems. We’re hiring a Senior Manager Third Party Risk in Singapore to lead Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) execution across Asia, with a strong focus on electronics/device manufacturing supply chains and supplier compliance.

## What you’ll do

- Lead supplier and third-party risk due diligence across Asia (contract manufacturers, component suppliers, logistics partners, key service providers).

- Build and run an onsite supplier audit program, including corrective action plans (CAPA) and remediation verification.

- Drive supplier compliance initiatives aligned to leading industry standards (e.g., Responsible Business Alliance / RBA expectations), including labor, ethics, and management systems.

- Partner closely with Procurement, Legal/Compliance, Security, Privacy, and business teams to embed risk controls into supplier onboarding, contracting, and ongoing monitoring.

- Build and own regional reporting: supplier tier coverage, audit pipeline, open risks, remediation status, and trend insights for leadership.

- Support incident response for supplier-related issues (e.g., compliance findings, operational disruptions), ensuring fast and effective resolution.

## What we’re looking for

- 6+ years of experience in supplier risk, third-party risk management, supply chain risk, supplier compliance/auditing, or related fields.

- Strong experience in complex electronics or device manufacturing ecosystems (contract manufacturing, component ecosystems, multi-tier supply chains).

- Demonstrated ability to run onsite audits and drive remediation outcomes (not just policy).

- Proven ability to influence cross-functional stakeholders and make risk decisions in fast-paced environments.

- Strong written and verbal communication—able to translate complex risk into clear decision narratives.

## Nice to have

- Experience with export controls/sanctions, forced labor risk programs, and supplier ownership/beneficial ownership diligence.

- Experience implementing GRC/TPRM tooling (e.g., OneTrust, Archer, ServiceNow GRC) and automating workflows.

- Familiarity with RBA programs and/or validated assessment approaches.

- Regional language skills (e.g., Mandarin) helpful but not required.
