ICT Risk Leadership

In this high impact role, you will provide dedicated ICT Risk leadership with the Western Union International Bank's independent Second Line of Defence (2LoD). You will oversee and challenge how First Line teams identify, assess, manage and remediate ICT risk.

This is an opportunity to shape a dedicated ICT risk oversight capability for an Austrian bank operating within a global leader in cross-border money movement.

Your impact will include strengthening the Bank's independent ICT risk oversight model, establishing a clear annual oversight and assurance plan, enhancing risk appetite and Management Board reporting, challenging priority ICT and third-party risk exposures, and embedding a sustainable review cycle for the ICT Risk Management Framework. You will be supported by established Risk Management and Internal Control capabilities, specialist external expertise during transition and access to global Western Union stakeholders.

Provide oversight of ICT incident management, regulatory reporting, post-incident reviews, and remediation activities.
Ensure effective integration of ICT risk management with Business Continuity Management and Disaster Recovery frameworks.
Oversee ICT third-party and outsourcing risk governance, including criticality assessments, concentration risk, contractual requirements, and exit planning.
Coordinate regulatory engagements, audits, and supervisory reviews, serving as the primary contact for ICT risk and operational resilience matters.
Monitor control effectiveness, oversee assurance activities, and ensure timely remediation of audit findings and regulatory actions.
Prepare and deliver reporting on ICT risk posture, resilience, and emerging risks to senior management, committees, and the Management Board.

Proven experience implementing or managing DORA, EBA ICT Guidelines, or comparable ICT risk and regulatory frameworks, with the ability to translate regulatory requirements into proportionate governance, oversight and reporting.
Experience managing regulatory inspections, supervisory engagements, audits, or regulatory reviews.
Experience overseeing third-party risk and outsourced ICT services.
Experience preparing and presenting risk assessments, regulatory updates, and recommendations to senior leadership, committees, or board-level stakeholders.
Strong knowledge of ICT risk and governance frameworks, including DORA, PSD2, ISO 27001, NIST, and COBIT.
