TDRM is responsible for setting high standards in cybersecurity, reliability, tech risk, and data management, influencing strategy, challenging activities, and conducting independent tests. In regulated financial services, a dual CISO structure is employed: a first-line CISO with operational responsibilities reporting to the CIO, and a second-line Chief Tech Risk Officer (CTRO) overseeing broader responsibilities including cybersecurity, reliability, software quality, resilience, and data risk. The CTRO is independent, oversees the CISO and CIO/CTO, and reports to the Chief Risk Officer, who reports to the CEO. TDRM provides business leaders with essential tech and data risk information for informed decision-making. Associates in TDRM are skilled professionals in information security, cybersecurity, site reliability engineering, technology, data analysis, data science, and risk management, known for their experience and ability to deliver high-impact results. As a Manager on the International and Regulatory Risk team, the role involves managing TDRM’s involvement in international risk workstreams, coordinating subject matter experts to evaluate and advise on first-line proposals for international risk management, and assisting with audit and regulatory preparations and responses. Success requires a strong understanding of technology, information security, and data requirements, with the ability to translate complex technical practices and business objectives into clear, persuasive, and compliant risk documentation. The ideal candidate is a critical thinker, intellectually curious, and possesses strong stakeholder management skills.
