Job Summary:
As a Tech Risk and Controls Senior Associate at International Consumer Banking within the Cybersecurity Technology and Controls, you will be responsible for the LOB risk assessment, governance, standardization, and measurement across all the Cyber domains. Your primary focus will be leading and managing the Security Configuration Management domain. This role ensures that foundational and advanced controls across platform, network, endpoint and application security configuration are governed by clearly defined standards and measurable control objectives. This position blends deep technical understanding of controls and tooling with architectural oversight and governance rigor ensuring that the firm’s operational controls are consistently engineered, validated, and improved especially across cloud‑native environments.
While we’re looking for professional skills, culture is just as important to us. We understand that everyone's unique – and that diversity of thought, experience and background is what makes a good team, great. By bringing people with different points of view together, we can represent everyone and truly reflect the communities we serve.
Job Responsibilities:
- LOB cyber risk leadership: Act as the primary cybersecurity and technology risk point-of-contact for the LOB Applications, shaping priorities, escalation paths, and governance routines across the application/platform portfolio.
- Control objectives & standards (AWS / configuration security): Lead the development, tailoring, and adoption of technical control objectives and standards for Security Configuration Management and other cyber domains (identity, logging/monitoring, vulnerability management, network security), ensuring applicability to LOB architectures and delivery models.
- Risk identification & decision support (with approved AI): Leverage enterprise-authorized AI capabilities to accelerate architecture risk analysis, threat/risk identification, and documentation; validate outputs and handle data per sensitivity and security requirements.

- Issue and action-plan leadership: Drive reuse-first, AI-assisted routines for recurring control testing, deficiency management, and action-plan execution; ensure closure evidence meets internal audit and regulatory expectations.
- Partnering and challenge function (within LOB): Partner with engineering and operations to evaluate control sufficiency against threat models, regulatory expectations, and internal policies; provide credible challenge and pragmatic remediation options.
- Hybrid control governance: Govern control implementation and sustainment across AWS cloud, data center, and endpoint ecosystems used by the LOB, ensuring consistent security posture and minimizing control drift.
- Tooling integration into GRC: Assess and guide integration of configuration drift and security tooling (e.g., Evolven, Puppet, Chef, Wiz or equivalents) with the firm’s GRC ecosystem to support standardized control objectives, testing, and evidence capture.
- Strategic insights for LOB leadership: Provide clear posture assessments, trend analysis, and forward-looking risk insights to LOB technology leadership and risk governance forums; drive continuous improvement in control efficiency and effectiveness.
