What You Will Do
This is an overview and not an exhaustive list of responsibilities. Collaborating with your line manager, you will develop your own objectives but focus on all the following:
* Develop, update, and enforce comprehensive IT governance policies and align to our risk management frameworks that support organisational objectives, regulatory compliance, and best practices.
* Work closely with risk owners across Technology to review, validate, and refine risk mitigations and action plans before submitting them to the risk department.
* Ensure that all identified risks are clearly documented, prioritised, and aligned with established governance standards.
* Lead regular risk assessments and facilitate workshops to promote risk awareness and proactive management throughout the technology function.
* Provide inspirational leadership to a team of Governance and Risk Analysts by setting clear objectives, regularly tracking progress, and offering ongoing mentorship and professional growth opportunities.
* Serve as the central point of contact for all external audit engagements, proactively coordinating audit schedules, resource allocation, and communications between auditors and internal teams.
* Ensure that all audit requests are met with timely and accurate responses, compiling evidence and supporting documentation as required.
* Track all findings and recommendations from annual external audits, assign follow-up actions to appropriate stakeholders, and monitor progress towards completion. Facilitate post-audit reviews and lessons learned sessions to drive ongoing improvements in audit preparedness and response processes.
* Partner with the Technology Office to produce insightful and actionable Governance & Risk reports that inform decision-making at all levels of the organisation.
* Collaborate with both business and IT stakeholders to establish key performance indicators (KPIs), compliance metrics, and performance benchmarks.
* Utilise data-driven insights to highlight trends, identify areas for improvement, and celebrate successes.
