Your role as a Provider Process & Governance Specialist

As our Provider Process & Governance Specialist, you will be responsible for formalising, maintaining, and executing best-practice processes across all provider management activity at Shine.

Reporting to the Director of Strategic Providers and Projects, you will own the operational backbone of how we select, onboard, govern, and monitor our banking and financial service providers across France, Germany, the Netherlands, and Denmark.

This is a process-focused, operationally rigorous role for someone who takes pride in making things work consistently and well, and who enjoys working at the intersection of commercial, legal, and operational disciplines.

What You will be doing

• Provider Management Processes
• Own and maintain Shine's provider management procedures: from provider selection (RFP) through contract management, SLA monitoring, invoice review, and offboarding.
• Ensure processes are documented, approved, and applied consistently across all providers managed by the team.
• Identify gaps or inconsistencies in current practices and drive improvements within the team.
• Contract Management
• Coordinate the end-to-end contract management process for providers, including commercial negotiation support, coordination with Legal, and tracking of contractual milestones.
• Maintain a register with key dates (renewal, SLA review, audit rights) and proactively flag upcoming events.
• Build automated invoice review tools (against contracted pricing and volumes).
• SLA Monitoring and Incident Management
• Monitor provider SLA performance across the assigned portfolio and maintain dashboards or trackers for visibility.
• Coordinate incident escalations when assigned providers fail to meet contractual obligations, ensuring remediation protocols and service credits are triggered appropriately.
• Liaise with Operations and Customer Support teams to assess customer impact of provider incidents.
• New Product Committee and Provider Onboarding
• Document the New Product Committee (NPC) process for provider-related initiatives, ensuring the process is clear for all involved stakeholders.
• Manage the onboarding workflow for assigned new providers, tracking dependencies across Legal, Compliance, Finance, and Tech.
• Managed Provider Relationships
• Own the ongoing management of an assigned portfolio of providers: regular performance reviews, relationship calls, and contractual follow-up.
• Maintain an up-to-date provider register with key contacts, performance metrics, and contract summaries.

What you Will Bring

• 2–4 years in a provider management, procurement, vendor governance, or operations role within a bank, payment institution, or fintech.
• Strong instinct for building clear, repeatable processes and ensuring they are followed. Comfortable writing procedures and governance documentation.
• Experience working with commercial contracts, SLA frameworks, and vendor governance.
• Comfortable with data: able to maintain trackers, produce performance summaries, and identify trends in SLA or invoice data.
• Professional fluency in English required, French would be a plus.
• Highly structured; manages multiple active providers and workstreams simultaneously without things falling through the gaps.
• Builds strong working relationships with Legal, Finance, Compliance, and external counterparts.
