Director - Technology Risk
We are seeking an experienced Director – Technology Risk to lead the development and delivery of a robust technology risk management framework across a complex organisation. This is a senior leadership role, responsible for providing independent challenge, strategic oversight and practical guidance on technology, cyber and information risks.
You will define the technology risk strategy, policies and appetite, ensuring these remain aligned with business objectives, regulatory expectations and recognised industry standards. You will oversee the identification, assessment and treatment of risks relating to infrastructure, applications, data, cloud services, cyber security, operational resilience and third-party technology providers.
The role will involve partnering closely with senior technology, security, operational risk, audit and business stakeholders. You will provide clear, constructive challenge on major change programmes, technology investments, control design and risk acceptance decisions. You will also establish effective reporting, using meaningful management information to communicate the organisation’s technology risk profile, material issues, emerging threats and remediation progress to senior governance forums.
As a leader, you will build and develop a high-performing team, promote a strong risk culture and ensure consistent standards across all areas of technology risk. You will lead responses to regulatory reviews, internal audits and significant incidents, ensuring lessons are captured and corrective actions are delivered effectively.
The successful candidate will have substantial experience in technology risk, information security, IT audit, operational resilience or a closely related discipline, gained within a large and highly regulated environment. You will have a strong understanding of technology control frameworks, risk assessment methodologies, cyber threats, cloud governance, third-party risk and regulatory requirements. Excellent communication and influencing skills are essential, together with the ability to translate complex technical issues into clear business implications for senior audiences.
A relevant professional qualification, such as CISM, CRISC, CISSP, CISA or an equivalent risk, audit or technology certification, would be advantageous. You should be comfortable operating strategically while retaining sufficient technical understanding to challenge effectively and support sound, risk-based decisions.
