This role supports the Technology Risk Management (TRM) organization by balancing hands‑on technology control monitoring and testing with ownership of the TRM execution plan. The Analyst is responsible for ensuring that control monitoring and testing activities are executed effectively while also driving disciplined planning, tracking, and delivery of TRM commitments.

The role works closely with Technology teams and Risk stakeholders to understand technology risks, evaluate control effectiveness, execute monitoring and testing activities, and ensure remediation actions progress in line with the TRM execution plan. This is a hands‑on, execution‑focused role that requires strong ownership, sound judgment, and the ability to manage multiple risk and control workstreams concurrently.

Key Responsibilities:

Technology Risk & Control Ownership:

• Evaluate whether technology controls appropriately mitigate identified risks, considering both design and operating effectiveness
• Identify control gaps, weaknesses, or inconsistencies, and support remediation discussions with Technology teams
• Support ongoing technology risk assessments (e.g., RCSA) and related control evaluations

Technology Control Monitoring & Testing:

• Perform and support technology control monitoring and testing activities, including design and operating effectiveness assessments
• Plan and execute testing activities, including scoping, evidence review, evaluation, and documentation of conclusions
• Exercise sound judgment when assessing evidence quality and control effectiveness
• Track control deficiencies, action items, and remediation efforts through to closure

Execution, Tracking & Delivery Discipline:

• Own day-to-day execution of assigned risk and control activities, ensuring work is structured, sequenced, and completed on time
• Maintain visibility of milestones, dependencies, and execution status across multiple workstreams
• Prepare clear summaries and execution updates highlighting risk exposures, testing progress, and issues requiring attention
• Proactively identify execution risks, delays, or dependencies and escalate appropriately

Governance, Communication & Documentation:

• Support preparation for and follow-ups from technology risk governance forums, reviews, and working sessions
• Communicate risk and control outcomes clearly to Risk and Technology stakeholders
• Maintain accurate, complete, and audit-ready documentation for risks, controls, testing results, and remediation evidence
• Contribute to continuous improvement of technology risk execution practices and documentation standards

This is a hybrid position. Expectation of days in office will be confirmed by your hiring manager.
