Responsibilities

• Conduct ongoing, enterprise-wide IT risk assessments in partnership with compliance, security, and business stakeholders.
• Maintain oversight of the IT and AI risk register, including facilitating monthly risk rating discussions and providing quarterly risk updates to leadership.
• Identify strengths and weaknesses in the risk management program related to privacy, security, business resiliency, and compliance frameworks.
• Analyze risk assessment findings, document and report program gaps, and recommend risk mitigation strategies to compliance and security leadership.

• Partner with compliance and security leadership to perform ongoing compliance and security assessments and recommend annual strategic technology and risk directives.

• Develop and leverage automation and reporting tools (e.g., Power Automate, Power BI) to streamline risk reporting, automate routine tasks, and deliver executive-level dashboards.
