You will identify risks and opportunities for improvement, providing actionable recommendations that strengthen resilience and operational effectiveness.

Technology Risk Assessment & Business Partnership. You will collaborate with IT and business stakeholders to evaluate technology risks across systems, applications, infrastructure, and digital initiatives. Acting as a trusted advisor, you will support management in understanding risk exposure, addressing audit findings, and implementing sustainable improvements that align with business priorities.

Cross-Functional Collaboration & Continuous Improvement. You will work closely with Technology, Finance, Legal, Compliance, and other business functions to drive remediation activities, monitor progress, and promote a culture of accountability and risk awareness.
