• Support maintenance of the control library, including relevant control descriptions and control attributes.
• Facilitate required technology risk assessments (e.g., risk and control self-assessments) and control testing activities.
• Coordinate regulatory, external audit, and internal audit activities such as walkthroughs, evidence collection, and risk treatment discussions.

Risk Treatment

• Promote a culture of risk management by partnering with technology teams to self-identify technology issues.

• Evaluate potential control gaps and coordinate root causes analysis, escalation, risk treatment, and remediation activities.
• Support the selection and documentation of appropriate risk-treatment methods and remediation timelines, while considering the risk severity and existing commitments.
• Govern issue remediation commitments and ensure on-time delivery of action plan commitments.
• Ensure issue remediation is approximately evidenced and documented, uplifting control procedures when applicable.

Metrics and Risk Reporting

• Monitor key risk and performance indicators against established thresholds and tolerances.
• Coordinate the establishment or enhancement of measures needed to monitor technology risks.
• Provide risk commentary, context, and escalation for material trends or persistent threshold breaches.

The expected base salary ranges from $150k-$200k.
