  • Leading projects to remediate areas of technology risk across the business
  • Building and maintaining robust documentation, policies and standards aligned with industry frameworks (ITIL, NIST, ISO 27001, etc.)
  • Preparing concise Management Information packs for leadership, highlighting key risks and trends
  • Helping coordinate governance committee meetings and ensuring timely follow-up on action items

About You

    • Helping align with regulation/industry standards (e.g., ITIL, NIST, CSF)
    • Drafting policies and standards
    • Facilitating BC/DR assessments and testing
    • Responding to due diligence questionnaires and regulatory inquiries

  • Technically literate; have a high-level understanding of tech stacks and can have informed discussions with engineers
  • Motivated self-starter who can handle competing priorities and work effectively in a challenging, fast-paced environment
  • Organised with a strong attention to detail
  • Excellent written and verbal communicator with the ability to translate complex technical concepts into clear language, maintain good documentation and tailor messaging to suit the needs of different audiences (e.g., preparing Management Information packs for leadership vs disclosures for regulators vs internal blogs for colleagues)
  • Eager to meet and work with people across different disciplines
  • Fluency in English is required
