Senior IT Risk Manager & Ops Risk Manager
We are supporting an established Financial Services company looking to hire a Senior Operational Risk Manager into its Risk Management function. This is a senior 2nd Line of Defence position focused on Operational Risk, with a significant emphasis on IT Security, ICT Risk and integrating technology-related risks into the wider Enterprise Risk framework and risk plan.
You will take responsibility for the Operational Risk framework, providing independent 2nd Line Review & Challenge across operational and technology-driven risks. A key part of the role will be working closely with IT Security, Information Security, BCM and Technology teams, ensuring risks such as cyber incidents, system outages, failed IT changes, data availability, third-party technology risks and control weaknesses are appropriately assessed and translated into the organisation’s overall Enterprise Risk profile. You will ensure these risks are incorporated into RCSA, risk appetite, enterprise risk planning, loss events, scenario analysis, remediation activities and senior management reporting.
The successful candidate will have strong Operational Risk experience within Financial Services, combined with a good understanding of IT Security, ICT Risk and technology controls. You should understand how security and technology risks translate into operational and enterprise-level business risks and be comfortable challenging IT and Security stakeholders from a 2nd Line perspective. Knowledge of MaRisk, CRR, KWG, DORA and BAIT, alongside experience with RCSA, scenario analysis and Pillar 1 / Pillar 2 capital requirements, is highly desirable. Fluent German and English are essential.
