- Driving remediation activity — making sure gaps are addressed, tracked and closed within agreed timescales.
- Working closely with IT and business teams to ensure controls are practical, understood and embedded in day-to-day operations.
- Developing dashboards and reporting to give control owners clear visibility of performance and risk.
- Continuously improving the controls environment, identifying opportunities to streamline, automate and reduce audit effort.
- Advising senior leaders on IT risk, control effectiveness and emerging issues.

What’s in It for You:
- A senior, high-impact role with genuine ownership of the IT controls agenda.
