Job description

Solihull – Hybrid (3 days in the office)

We’re looking for an IT Operational Permanent Control professional to join a growing IT Governance team within a leading Financial Services organisation.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone with experience in IT Risk, Controls, Governance, Operational Risk or Incident Management who enjoys working with people and coordinating activity across a business.

What will you be doing?

You’ll play a key role in ensuring IT risks, incidents and controls are properly managed and followed through.

This is not a hands-on technical IT role. You won’t be expected to fix technical issues yourself. Instead, you’ll work closely with IT teams and Subject Matter Experts to:

• Coordinate and track IT incidents through to closure
• Arrange stakeholder meetings and follow up on root causes and remediation actions
• Review evidence and commentary provided by SMEs and challenge where information is unclear
• Track and chase action plans, ensuring deadlines are met
• Escalate overdue actions and control issues where required
• Prepare reporting for IT Governance Committees
• Support IT audit activity and evidence gathering
• Help ensure IT procedures are maintained and regularly reviewed

What are we looking for?

You’ll ideally have experience in one or more of the following areas:

• IT Risk
• IT Controls
• IT Governance
• Operational Risk
• Business Risk & Controls

Financial Services experience would be highly desirable.

Most importantly, we’re looking for someone who is organised, proactive and confident working with stakeholders. You’ll need to be comfortable asking questions, following up on actions and challenging people professionally when something hasn’t been completed or explained clearly.

You don't need to be a highly technical IT specialist, but you should be comfortable working alongside technical teams and understanding IT issues at a governance and risk level.

If you're currently working in IT Risk, Controls, Governance, Operational Risk or Incident Management and are looking for your next opportunity, we'd love to hear from you.
