Senior IT Risk and Governance Analyst
An opportunity has arisen for a Senior IT Risk and Governance Analyst to support the development, implementation and continuous improvement of technology risk and governance practices. This role will help strengthen the organisation’s control environment, promote effective risk management and provide clear insight to senior stakeholders across technology and the wider business.
Working closely with technology, security, audit, compliance and business teams, you will identify, assess and monitor IT risks, ensuring that appropriate controls and mitigation plans are in place. You will maintain risk registers, track remediation activity and provide regular reporting on key risks, issues, control effectiveness and emerging threats. The role will also involve supporting governance forums and preparing concise, accurate information for senior management.
Your responsibilities will include developing and maintaining IT policies, standards, procedures and control frameworks; coordinating risk and control self-assessments; supporting internal and external audits; and monitoring compliance with relevant regulatory, legal and industry requirements. You will contribute to the review of third-party technology risks, assist with information security and operational resilience activities, and help embed a consistent risk-aware culture across technology teams.
The successful candidate will have substantial experience in IT risk, governance, controls, audit or information security, ideally within a complex or regulated environment. You will be confident interpreting technical and business information, assessing risk and translating complex issues into clear, practical recommendations. Experience with recognised frameworks such as COBIT, ITIL, ISO 27001, NIST or similar would be advantageous.
Strong analytical, organisational and stakeholder management skills are essential, together with excellent written and verbal communication. You will be comfortable challenging constructively, managing competing priorities and working independently while contributing effectively to a collaborative team. Relevant professional qualifications, such as CISA, CRISC, CISM, CISSP or equivalent experience, would be desirable.
