IT Risk Manager

Your new company

A UK-based financial services organisation with a growing regulatory footprint and strong ties to its European parent company. Since securing a UK banking licence a few years ago, the business has expanded its operations and now requires enhanced oversight of ICT risk to meet both UK and ECB regulatory expectations.

Your new role

As the IT Risk Manager, you’ll operate in the second line of defence, providing independent oversight of IT risk across systems, processes, suppliers, and regulatory frameworks. You’ll scope out the current risk landscape, identify control gaps, and deliver evidence-based recommendations. This role is highly autonomous and will involve working closely with first-line teams, influencing board-level reporting, and aligning with both PRA/FCA and ECB standards.

What you'll need to succeed

  • Strong experience in second-line IT risk or operational risk roles
  • In-depth knowledge of PRA, FCA, and ECB regulatory frameworks
  • Ability to challenge and influence stakeholders across all levels
  • Experience with cyber risk, AI policy, and third-party risk oversight
  • A proactive, evidence-based approach and excellent communication skills

What you'll get in return

  • A high-impact contract role with strategic influence
  • Hybrid working with flexibility
  • The opportunity to shape ICT risk governance in a regulated banking environment
