Assistant Vice President, IT Risk Assessment Manager
We are seeking an experienced Assistant Vice President, IT Risk Assessment Manager to lead the assessment of technology and information security risks across a complex, highly regulated environment. This role will provide independent challenge, expert advice and clear insight into the effectiveness of technology controls, helping to strengthen the organisation’s risk management framework and support informed decision-making at senior level.
Key responsibilities will include planning and delivering risk assessments across infrastructure, applications, cloud services, cyber security, data protection, third-party providers and emerging technologies. You will evaluate control design and operating effectiveness, identify gaps and emerging threats, and produce concise reports outlining risk exposure, root causes and recommended actions. The role will involve working closely with technology, information security, compliance, legal, internal audit and business stakeholders to agree remediation plans, monitor progress and escalate material issues where appropriate. You will also contribute to the development of risk assessment methodologies, policies, standards, management information and risk appetite measures, while supporting regulatory reviews and wider governance activities.
Applicants should have substantial experience in IT risk management, technology assurance, internal audit, cyber risk or a closely related discipline, ideally within financial services or another complex regulated sector. You will need a strong understanding of recognised risk and control frameworks, such as COBIT, NIST, ISO 27001 or equivalent, together with knowledge of cloud security, identity and access management, resilience, vulnerability management, data governance and third-party risk. Professional qualifications such as CISA, CRISC, CISSP, CISM or equivalent are desirable. The successful candidate will be analytical, commercially aware and confident engaging with stakeholders at all levels. Excellent written and verbal communication skills are essential, as is the ability to manage multiple priorities, exercise sound judgement and present complex technical risks in a clear, practical and proportionate manner.
