Our client, a leading financial institution with a significant technology footprint across Singapore and the wider APAC region, is looking for an IT Risk & Incident Manager to sit at the intersection of technology risk governance and major incident response.
This is a hands-on role for someone equally comfortable leading a live incident bridge and holding a technology risk conversation with senior stakeholders and regulators.
What you'll do
Provide first-line technology risk governance across the technology function, covering policy review, gap assessment and alignment to internal and regulatory standards
Lead the response to major and critical technology incidents, owning command, priorities, decision rights and stakeholder communication
Balance recovery urgency against risk, cyber security, change-control and data-integrity considerations
Translate technical incidents into clear business-impact updates for senior management and governance forums
Support regulator-facing colleagues with accurate incident reporting for MAS and other APAC regulators
Facilitate post-incident reviews, challenge root-cause quality and timeliness, and track corrective actions to closure
Identify recurring incidents and control weaknesses, escalating through problem management and governance channels
Monitor third-party performance during incidents against contractual service levels and operational-resilience obligations
Lead technology risk, resilience and remediation projects end to end, including scope, budget and delivery planning
What you'll bring
Banking experience is essential; this role requires a solid understanding of a bank's technology, risk and control environment
Proven experience in technology risk management and major incident management within a regulated financial services environment
Working knowledge of incident, problem and change management frameworks
Strong root-cause analysis and remediation-tracking discipline
Comfortable operating under pressure during live incidents while keeping an eye on governance and control
Why apply
Broad, senior-facing remit spanning risk governance, incident leadership and project delivery. A strong next step for someone who wants ownership across the full technology risk and resilience lifecycle, not just one slice of it.
