What is the role?
Are you passionate about safeguarding IT systems, mitigating risks and developing controls? We are seeking a detail-oriented Risk & Controls Analyst to play a vital role in identifying, assessing, and managing IT operational risk & controls. Working within the Group Technology Services (GTS) Risk & Compliance team, you will assess potential vulnerabilities, develop robust mitigation strategies, and ensure accurate reporting to senior stakeholders. Additionally, you'll champion a strong risk-aware culture by educating colleagues on best practices, all while leveraging the Group Enterprise Risk Management Framework to protect our systems and data from evolving threats.
Key Responsibilities include:
1. Risk Analysis: Assisting GTS stakeholders with IT operational risk assessments to identify potential vulnerabilities and threats to our IT systems and infrastructure. This involves analysing the impact and likelihood of risks and evaluating the effectiveness of existing controls using the Group Enterprise Risk Management Framework.
2. Risk Mitigation: Working with the GTS Risk & Compliance Lead, Risk Manager, Compliance & Controls Manager and Risk Raisers and Owners to develop and suggest mitigation plans and strategies based on the analysed risk, to minimise their likelihood and impact.
3. Risk & Controls Reporting: Providing the GTS Risk & Compliance Lead, Risk Manager and Controls & Compliance Manager with up-to-date, accurate and reliable information on risk and their profile to feed into monthly and quarterly reporting to senior management and stakeholders.
4. Training and Awareness: Promote a Risk Culture to educate colleagues and stakeholders on IT risks and best practices.
What do I need?
Some important behaviours for a Risk & Controls Analyst include being detail-oriented, proactive, ethical, and having a strong sense of integrity. You should be able to prioritise tasks and work well under pressure. While pre-requisite knowledge of risk & controls management would be desirable, it is not essential. Having the following would help you succeed in this role:
1. A solid background in information technology and an understanding of various IT systems, infrastructure, and technologies.
2. Analytical and Problem-Solving Skills: You need to be an analytical thinker who can assess complex situations, identify root causes, and propose effective solutions.
3. Communication and Collaboration: Effective communication skills are vital; you will be interacting with stakeholders at all levels of the organisation.
4. Adaptability and Continuous Learning: The IT landscape is constantly evolving, and new risks and technologies emerge regularly.
