Position Summary

The Technology Governance Associate supports the development, implementation, and ongoing operation of technology governance, risk, and compliance activities across HUB Technology & Operations. This is a hands‑on, cross‑functional role that works closely with Technology Governance leadership and team members to execute activities related to control framework development, control implementation, process documentation, compliance operations, and governance technology enablement. The role supports the full governance and control lifecycle, including blueprint development, discovery, gap identification, remediation tracking, evidence management, continuous monitoring, and reporting. Responsibilities will evolve based on team priorities, requiring flexibility, strong execution skills, and the ability to contribute across multiple workstreams. The primary focus of the role is supporting HUB TechOps’ IT General Controls and related technology governance activities. Familiarity with broader areas such as cybersecurity, privacy, resilience, third‑party technology risk, data governance, and emerging technology governance is helpful but not required. These areas may become part of the role as business needs and team priorities evolve. The successful candidate is organized, analytical, detail‑oriented, and comfortable working with multiple stakeholders to translate governance requirements into practical deliverables.

The Work Control Framework and Documentation Support

Assist with developing and maintaining technology control blueprints, implementation guides, discovery workbooks, evidence schedules, standard operating procedures, and other governance deliverables. Support the documentation and maintenance of control objectives, control activities, execution requirements, evidence expectations, and ownership responsibilities. Assist with mapping relationships between risks, regulatory requirements, policies, standards, procedures, applications, and technology controls. Support governance activities primarily related to IT General Controls and other applicable technology risk domains. Identify documentation gaps, inconsistencies, and opportunities to standardize governance artifacts across technology domains. Support documentation quality reviews, updates, and publication activities in accordance with established framework standards. Apply knowledge of broader governance areas, such as cybersecurity, privacy, resilience, third‑party risk, data governance, or emerging technology, when relevant to assigned work.

Control Discovery and Implementation Support

Participate in discovery sessions with application owners, system administrators, process owners, and other technology representatives. Document current‑state processes, control activities, roles and responsibilities, system dependencies, and supporting evidence. Assist with identifying gaps between existing processes and established control requirements. Translate discovery findings into documented implementation actions, remediation items, and follow‑up activities. Support the development of process narratives, workflows, RACI matrices, risk assessments, and operating procedures. Coordinate with control owners to obtain required documentation, clarify outstanding questions, and support implementation readiness. Assist with assessing how changes in technology, processes, or regulatory expectations may affect existing governance, risk, control, and compliance requirements.

Compliance Operations and Continuous Monitoring

Support ongoing control monitoring, evidence readiness, remediation tracking, and compliance reporting activities. Assist with maintaining evidence schedules, control inventories, ownership records, and recurring compliance calendars. Collect, organize, and review control documentation and evidence for completeness against established requirements. Support the development and maintenance of control performance metrics, KPIs, exception reporting, and monitoring dashboards. Assist with documenting control deficiencies, tracking corrective actions, and preparing status updates. Support future control self‑assessment activities as the Technology Governance operating model maturing. Support the identification of changes in regulatory expectations, industry practices, and technology risks that may require updates to governance documentation or controls.

Governance Technology and Workflow Enablement

Support the use of approved governance, risk, and compliance platforms to manage control records, implementation workflows, gaps, remediation, evidence, and reporting. Assist with workflow documentation, configuration support, user acceptance testing, and process improvements under the direction of functional leads and authorized platform administrators. Maintain accurate control and compliance information within approved systems. Identify opportunities to reduce manual activities through automation, standardized workflows, and improved reporting. Support coordination and data consistency across approved governance platforms, SharePoint, AuditBoard (Optro), and other relevant systems. Assist with developing reports, dashboards, and workflow enhancements that improve visibility into control performance, remediation, and compliance obligations.
