  • Collaborate closely with stakeholders to identify control gaps and potential risks, and develop strategies to address them effectively.
  • Lead initiatives to close out outstanding actions from audits, particularly related to PAM and application controls.
  • Take ownership of testing controls across a diverse range of applications, ensuring adherence to established standards and best practices.
  • Proactively challenge existing control mechanisms and processes, driving continuous improvement and innovation within the technology control framework.
    Skills and Qualifications:
    • Proven experience in assurance testing within a technology-focused environment, preferably within the financial sector.
    • Strong technical background, with expertise in information security and/or application controls.
    • Ability to ask probing questions and challenge assumptions, ensuring a thorough evaluation of control effectiveness.
    • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to liaise effectively with stakeholders at all levels of the organization.
    • Relevant certifications (e.g., CISA, CISSP) are desirable but not essential.
