Manager, Third Party Risk Management

About Upstart At Upstart, we’re united by a mission that matters: to radically reduce the cost and complexity of borrowing for all Americans. Every day, we bring creativity, experimentation, and advanced AI to reshape access to credit, helping millions move forward financially with clarity and confidence. As the leading AI lending marketplace, we partner with banks and credit unions to expand access to affordable credit through technology that’s both radically intelligent and deeply human. Our platform runs over one million predictions per borrower using more than 1,800 signals, powering smarter, fairer decisions for millions of customers. But the numbers only hint at the impact. Every idea, every voice, and every contribution moves us closer to a world where credit never stands between people and their financial progress. We’re proudly digital-first, giving most Upstarters the flexibility to do their best work from wherever they thrive, alongside teammates across 80+ cities in the US and Canada. Digital-first doesn’t mean distant. We’re intentional about in-person connection through team onsites, planning sessions, and moments that spark creativity and trust. And whether you choose to work primarily from home or collaborate in-person from one of our offices in Columbus, Austin, the Bay Area, or New York City (opening Summer 2026), you’ll have the support to work in the way that works best for you. If you’re energized by tackling meaningful problems, excited to innovate with purpose, and motivated by work that truly matters, we’d love to hear from you. The Team: Upstart’s Risk team is building its second line of defense function in support of its application to establish Upstart Bank, N.A., a de novo national bank. The team is responsible for Upstart’s enterprise risk management program and risk governance, providing independent oversight and credible challenge across key risk categories including operational risk, third-party risk, technology and information security risk, treasury risk, and compliance risk. The Risk team partners closely with business leaders, executive management, and the Board to ensure material risks are effectively identified, assessed, mo nitored, and governed in alignment with OCC, FDIC, and interagency regulatory expectations. As the Manager, Third Party Risk Management at Upstart, you will lead the day-to-day execution of the bank’s third-party risk management program and oversee a team responsible for risk assessments, due diligence, ongoing monitoring, and vendor oversight activities.
