About the Role
As Tech Risk & Controls Lead, you will help embed risk, controls and regulatory compliance into Snappi's technology environment, ensuring evidence is generated through automation, live data and AI-enabled workflows rather than manual reporting. Partnering with Engineering, Security, Data and Risk teams, you will drive a scalable, technology-first control framework that enables effective governance, regulatory compliance and audit readiness in a cloud-native banking environment.
What you’ll do
- Own the Technology risk and control register, including risks, controls, owners, testing results and remediation actions across ICT, Data, ML Ops, Predictive AI, PMO and third-party delivered technology services.
- Translate approved ICT risk and security policies into concrete controls in Azure, Azure DevOps/GitHub, Jira and Microsoft 365, ensuring each control has clear ownership and an identifiable evidence source.
- Lead ICT third-party risk oversight activities, including provider classification, due diligence coordination, SLA and KRI monitoring, exit planning and maintenance of DORA Register of Information requirements.
- Produce and coordinate Technology's contribution to recurring risk, governance and regulatory reporting, including third-party risk reporting, RCSAs, ICT risk indicators, incident reporting and committee materials.
- Track Technology's actions in the ECB AI-enabled cyber threats plan, audit findings, regulatory actions and supervisory requests through to closure, ensuring appropriate evidence is captured and maintained.
- Manage the control aspects of Technology's AI risk framework, including AI use case inventory, data classification and monitoring of model or agent changes.
- Serve as the primary point of contact for Audit, Operational Risk, Compliance and CISO requests into Technology, ensuring they are routed to the appropriate owners and tracked to completion.
- Partner with Technology leaders to strengthen risk ownership and control accountability, providing coordination, visibility and evidence while keeping ownership with the business and engineering teams.
AI-Driven & Automation-Focused Approach
This role will leverage automation, data and AI-enabled workflows to strengthen control monitoring, regulatory reporting and technology governance.
You will contribute to:
- Automating control evidence collection from platforms such as Azure Policy, Microsoft Defender, Entra ID, Purview, Azure DevOps, GitHub and Jira.
- Generating risk, third-party and governance reporting from live data sources rather than manual quarterly exercises.
- Leveraging AI-enabled assessments to support vendor due diligence, control gap analysis and regulatory reviews.
- Mapping new regulatory and policy requirements to existing controls to identify gaps and overlaps more efficiently.
- Working with Engineering teams to embed controls within CI/CD pipelines and technology delivery processes, ensuring governance, segregation-of-duties and security requirements are evidenced by design.
