About The Role

FDM is a global business and technology consultancy seeking a Vendor Management Contractor (GCP4 equivalent) to work for our client within the Financial Services sector. This is initially a 6‑month contract with the potential to extend and will be a hybrid role that will be based in London.

Our client is seeking an experienced vendor management professional to support a 6‑month pilot within the People, Governance & Comms (PGC) function. The role will focus on professionalising vendor management across a complex HR supplier landscape, applying and testing an established vendor management operating model. This is a high‑visibility opportunity to shape governance, improve supplier performance, and influence how vendor management is embedded across the organisation, with potential for conversion to a permanent role if the pilot is successful.

Responsibilities:

• Establish and implement a structured vendor management framework across PGC suppliers
• Act as a central point of coordination for HR‑related vendors including benefits, talent, learning, and recruitment providers
• Put in place vendor governance, performance tracking, and engagement standards
• Partner with Procurement to support contract, PO, and supplier-related processes
• Engage with senior stakeholders to improve visibility, consistency, and accountability across vendor relationships
• Identify risks, inefficiencies, and improvement opportunities within the existing vendor landscape
• Produce clear outputs and recommendations to support decision‑making and future operating model design
