She / he is expected to collaborate with otherteam members across the Global Technology and Global Business Audit teams while establishing the framework by which the audit department will assess and review our technology architecture and engineering efforts. As the firm has more formally built out itstechnology architecture practice, there is a need to focus on how this architecture is being adopted and embedded within the technology solutions being constructed by core technology teams as well as by business units in their citizen developer activities.Directly following the architecture is the engineering which transforms design into functionality, resulting in technology capabilities that are leveraged by BlackRock and its clients. As such, this role will focus on the controls embedded within relevantlifecycles and frameworks in order to provide ongoing assurance related to secure build and sustainable architecture, both of which represent increasingly important foundational considerations as the complexity of our technology state continues to increase.A related area of oversight will be the second line technology risk management function, currently covered via a distinct auditable unit.
