DB Global Technology is Deutsche Bank’s technology center in Central and Eastern Europe. Since its set-up in 2013, Bucharest Technology Centre (BEX) has constantly proven its capacity to deliver global technology products and services, playing a dynamic role in the Bank’s technology transformation.

We have a robust, hands-on engineering culture dedicated to continuous learning, knowledge-sharing, technical skill development and networking. We are an essential part of the Bank’s technology platform and develop applications for many important business areas.

The Third-Party Management Process (“TPM Process”) is a cross functional risk type process for identifying, assessing, mitigating, and tracking risk associated with DB’s portfolio of Third Parties. The TPM Risk Assessments Team has global operational reach and is the primary point of contact for internal service relationship owners and external Third Parties seeking certification under the bank’s Third-Party Management process. The team examines evidence, identifies gaps and documents associated risks for subsequent remediation or acceptance and monitoring.

The TPM Assessments Operations Expert actively assesses third‑party documentation across a range of Risk Types, which may include Data Protection, Data & Records Management, Anti‑Financial Crime, Compliance, HR, Model Risk, Operational Resilience and other regulated risk domains, depending on business needs. Within the team, the Operations Expert proactively identifies, escalates, and takes steps to substantially mitigate risk issues and is responsible for building, fostering and managing relationships with relevant stakeholders (internal and external), particularly in relation to complex, judgement‑based and regulated assessment topics.

They will have expertise or deeper understanding of DB’s Third Party Risk Management process and play a key role in facilitating communication between Divisions and TPM Assessments Team, sharing knowledge and good practice. As an Operations Expert, they will independently perform assessments of standard and non-standard documentations, and act as an escalation point for involved stakeholders, so their communication skills need to be excellent. They proactively identify, escalate, and take steps to substantially mitigate risk issues within and outside of direct main business area.
