You will bring an independent enterprise risk lens to technology and cyber issues, translate technical information into practical business advice and help establish clear ownership of risks, controls and actions.

Translate technical issues into clear service, organisational and community impacts.

Develop an enterprise view of strategic and critical technology risks.
Deliver targeted assurance over key technology and cybersecurity controls.
Strengthen technology disaster recovery and its alignment with business continuity.
Identify emerging risks, systemic issues and opportunities for improvement.
Provide independent, practical advice and constructive challenge.
Deliver clear, decision-focused reporting to senior leaders and governance forums.
What you’ll bring
Experience in technology risk, cybersecurity risk, IT governance, control assurance, disaster recovery or a related discipline.
The ability to bridge technical and business perspectives and turn complex information into practical advice.
Experience facilitating risk assessments, control reviews or assurance activities with technical and business stakeholders.
A sound understanding of technology controls, system dependencies and operational resilience.
Strong analytical, stakeholder engagement, influencing and communication skills.
The confidence to provide independent advice and constructive challenge.
The ability to work with a high degree of independence and professional judgement.
Highly regarded
Experience with recognised risk, technology or cybersecurity frameworks, such as ISO 31000, ISO 27001, NIST or COBIT.
Experience in disaster recovery, business continuity or technology resilience.
Knowledge of cloud, third-party or technology supply-chain risk.
Experience in a complex, regulated, public-sector or essential-services environment.
Relevant qualifications or certifications in risk, cybersecurity, IT governance, audit or business continuity.
Why join us?
You will join an Enterprise Risk team with an organisation-wide remit and a genuine opportunity to influence how technology risks are understood, governed and managed. You will work across Enterprise Risk, CTO, Cyber Security and the broader business—connecting different perspectives and helping the City make better-informed decisions about its technology risks and resilience.
If you enjoy working at the intersection of technology, risk and business and want the opportunity to build, influence and make a visible impact we would like to hear from you.
We pride ourselves on our shared mission of being a high-performing, customer-focused organisation which delivers value-for-money services to the community.
