Digital & Technology Risk & Controls Manager

Join us as a Digital & Technology Risk and Controls Manager

• If you have a technology risk management, audit or controls background and are looking for a new challenge, this could be the perfect role for you
• You’ll partner with our business to manage our risks and controls within agreed risk appetite, using our risk framework to make sure team objectives are achieved
• Risk plays a crucial role across our bank and you'll have the chance to use your professional IT risk skills and digital focus to pinpoint our weaknesses and help us to make improvements
• This is a hybrid role, so you'll work from home but spend one day a week in the office

What you'll do

You’ll have an opportunity to make a vital contribution to driving a generative culture of risk awareness by recommending solutions to our business operations risk issues. This includes strengthening the level of ownership and identifying and calling out areas of weakness and sharing best practices.

We’ll look to you to support our business in managing the risks which exist, making sure mechanisms are in place to identify and mitigate risk within a defined risk appetite. That way you can deliver relevant risk activity to build plans to sustain a control environment certification rating within risk appetite.

Day-to-day, you’ll be:

• Working with senior stakeholders to support them in managing their risk and control profiles
• Escalating emerging risks in a timely manner, making sure actions are quickly defined and owned
• Developing a risk awareness across our business, contributing to the prioritisation, design and implementation of the operational risk principles
• Implementing a robust governance framework that engages all relevant stakeholders to enable effective decision-making
• Managing the interface between the business, internal audit, second line of defence and other functions, as well as the wider risk and controls teams
• Making sure that all aspects of risk management are delivered within the policy framework and operational risk requirements

The skills you'll need

As well as a good understanding of our technology risk and controls, you’ll need management skills involving people, process and technology issues, along with a proven understanding and practical application of risk management principles.

You’ll also need knowledge of our businesses and associated products, processes and technologies, preferably including retail banking products, processes and technologies.

On top of this, you’ll bring:

• Excellent senior stakeholder management skills
• Experience of digital and technology risk and control assessments
• Experience of AWS and Cloud
• The ability to think creatively when resolving problems to identify alternatives where established procedures may not exist
• An understanding of how to design IT controls and automation
