Senior Technology Risk Manager

Milton Keynes (2 days onsite) | £95,000 + benefits

We’re supporting a large, regulated organisation as they strengthen their second-line technology risk function. This is a high-impact role with significant exposure to senior leadership, offering the opportunity to operate as a number two to the Head of Risk and play a key part in shaping risk strategy during a period of transformation.

The role:

You’ll take ownership of technology risk across a broad landscape, including cyber, operational resilience, data, third-party risk, and change/transformation initiatives. This is a strategic and outward-facing position, requiring strong stakeholder engagement and the ability to translate complex technical risks into clear, concise insights for executive audiences.

Key responsibilities:

• Lead second-line oversight across technology risk domains (cyber, data, operational resilience, third-party, transformation)
• Partner with senior stakeholders across the business, including executive leadership
• Provide independent risk challenge and deliver clear, board-level risk opinions
• Support the development and evolution of risk frameworks and practices
• Conduct scenario analysis and contribute to operational resilience planning
• Act as a deputy to the Head of Risk, with potential for future succession

What they’re looking for:

• Proven experience in a technology risk / operational risk role within a regulated environment (PRA preferred)
• Strong understanding of frameworks such as NIST and PRA supervisory standards (e.g. operational resilience, third-party risk, incident reporting)
• Broad exposure across multiple risk domains – not siloed in a single area
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to produce concise, board-level reporting
• Experience engaging with senior stakeholders and influencing decision-making
• Strategic mindset with the ability to connect technical detail to business impact

The opportunity:

• Join a growing risk function during a period of major transformation
• High visibility role with direct exposure to executive leadership
• Clear pathway to step into a more senior leadership position over time

If you’re looking to be apart of a fast pasted company with an excellent culture and great progression opportunities, this is the role for you!
