You will engage with cross-functional stakeholders to ensure our core governance mechanisms for technology and security are running smoothly by identifying, reporting, and managing risks, controls, and reporting effectively. You will also support external reviews and requests from stakeholders such as clients, regulators, and auditors. Additionally, you will maintain and develop IT policies as part of the Enterprise Risk Management Framework, ensuring alignment with industry best practices, regulatory requirements, and the evolving risk landscape. Your role will include providing risk-based reviews of third-party assurance returns for Information Technology, driving the design and delivery of insightful Technology reporting for senior teams and boards, and collaborating with stakeholders to support governance initiatives aimed at continuous improvement and risk reduction.

Key Responsibilities:

Strong understanding of risk management practices and their application in financial services organisations.

Fully conversant with Technology Risk and relevant industry standards (i.e., COBIT, NIST, ISO 27001/2).

Good understanding of IT, Security, and associated practices in large organisations, including the impact of regulation on cyber and technology.
