Responsibilities

Position Summary

The IT Risk Officer will serve as a key member of the IT First Line Risk team, reporting to the IT Risk Program Lead. In this position, you will support three key business technology segments - Commercial, Community & Wealth, and Corporate Solutions - working closely with each segment's Chief Information Officer (CIO) to ensure that IT operations are secure, compliant, and resilient. You will advise on the design and management of technical controls, support leaders in planning risk mitigation and remediation activities, and act as a liaison among IT teams, internal audit, risk management, and regulators.

The IT Risk Officer will work in a highly collaborative, fast-paced environment that spans multiple business units. This role requires leadership through influence - you must be comfortable taking initiative, coordinating efforts across different teams, and guiding stakeholders at all levels toward effective risk management outcomes. Expect a mix of independent analysis / documentation work and group meetings or workshops (for example, facilitating RCSA sessions or discussing remediation plans with project teams). The ability to juggle multiple priorities and communicate proactively will be key to succeeding in this role.

Overall, this position offers the opportunity to have a significant strategic impact on the organization's risk posture. You will help shape how the bank manages technology risk across several major lines of business, working alongside senior leaders to ensure that risk is well-understood and properly controlled in support of the bank's objectives. Your contributions will directly support a culture of strong risk governance and continuous improvement in our IT practices.

• Risk Governance & Reporting : Drive risk governance processes and reporting for the supported segments.
