At Aravo, we believe that in an increasingly interconnected world, managing risk is a critical pillar of global resilience. Traditional, manual approaches to TPRM can no longer keep pace with today’s scale and speed of disruption. That’s why we have pioneered an Intelligence-First™ approach.

Trusted by millions of third‑party users in 195+ countries, Aravo provides guidance for the most complex third‑party networks in the world, helping them mitigate risk, build business resilience, and protect their reputations. We are fundamentally redesigning how organizations see, understand, and act on risk by embedding AI directly into the core of their workflows.

Joining Aravo means working at the forefront of AI in TPRM and collaborating with a team that views AI as a partner, not a replacement. You will have the opportunity to work alongside industry experts, leverage the latest technologies, and contribute to shaping the future of third‑party risk management!

We are seeking a Senior TPRM Advisory Consultant to join our dynamic team.

This role will be for professionals with hands‑on experience owning, advising, or operating TPRM programs who are looking to apply their expertise in a consultative, client‑facing capacity.

The Consultant works closely with Sales, Product, and Implementation teams to translate real‑world TPRM challenges, including regulatory expectations, operational constraints, and organizational change, into effective, demonstrable Aravo‑enabled solutions. They will have exceptional communication and problem‑solving skills, with the ability to thrive in a fast‑paced, collaborative environment.

• Collaborate with Implementation and Customer teams to ensure continuity from solution vision to program execution.
• Provide ongoing feedback to Product and Strategy teams based on observed gaps, emerging regulations, and practitioner needs.
