What Will You Be Doing?

You will also maintain a central repository of technology risks and controls, delivering reports to support informed decision-making.

In this role, you will collaborate with stakeholders to ensure effective operation of technology controls, identify areas for improvement, and ensure compliance with internal policies, industry standards, and regulatory requirements.
