Working with Technology and Cyber specialists, the role will challenge gaps, unclear ownership and weak control language so that the framework is usable, traceable and decision-ready .

• Monitor emerging Technology, Cyber, operational resilience and artificial intelligence requirements .
• Use analysis, reporting and approved automation or artificial intelligence capabilities to improve control mapping, duplicate detection data quality, workflow efficiency and management insight, ensuring material outputs remain subject to appropriate human review.
• Build positive relationships across Technology, Cyber Security, Risk , Audit and the three lines of defence , presenting sophisticated framework and regulatory requirements clearly and constructively challenging where content or evidence is not sufficiently robust.
