The position is pivotal in embedding effective risk management practices within daily operations and promoting a culture of risk awareness throughout the organization.

3. Engagement with Key Stakeholders: Partner with senior leaders, such as the Chief Information Officer (CIO), to provide regular updates on IT risk status and mitigation efforts. Coordinate with various departments, including IT, compliance, and business units, to ensure a unified approach to managing IT risks throughout the organization.

4. Risk Reporting and Governance: Prepare comprehensive reports on IT risk exposure and present them to executive leadership and relevant governance committees. Ensure that critical risk metrics and key performance indicators (KPIs) are integrated into regular reporting frameworks to support informed decision-making. Maintain strong governance processes to enhance accountability and transparency in managing IT risks.

5. Ensuring Regulatory and Compliance Adherence: Oversee the organization’s adherence to applicable regulatory requirements and industry standards related to IT risk management. Act as the primary point of contact for regulatory bodies and auditors, addressing inquiries and ensuring compliance with guidelines on data protection, IT governance, and other relevant regulations.

What You Will Bring;

-Minimum 7-10 years of experience in cybersecurity, risk management, or related fields, with a demonstrated ability to lead the development and execution of risk management strategies.
-Deep understanding of cybersecurity principles, risk management frameworks (e.g., NIST, ISO 27001), and regulatory requirements.
-Experience with risk assessment methodologies and tools.
-Strong leadership skills with the ability to influence and collaborate across all levels of the organization.
-Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to articulate complex risks and mitigation strategies to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
