IT Risk Administrator

Role Overview:

Our Technology Operations team is looking for someone to provide essential support across risk administration and team coordination.

In this role, you’ll help keep things running smoothly from organising meetings and maintaining organisational charts, to managing processes around new starters, leavers, and everything in between. You’ll also play a key part in ensuring our risk-related activities are well-documented, well-managed, and always audit-ready.

Responsibilities:

• Lead the planning and coordination of monthly Governance meetings, quarterly Risk Reviews, and bi-annual Strategy Sessions to support robust risk oversight and strategic alignment.
• Maintain full ownership of the Group Technology Risk & Governance calendar, ensuring deadlines, reviews, and escalations are proactively managed and communicated.
• Support the preparation of monthly Executive-level (CEO) reporting, contributing risk and control updates as part of the overall business operations narrative.
• Act as secretariat for risk and governance meetings, including agenda setting, documentation, action tracking, and timely dissemination of decisions and follow-ups.
• Uphold and enhance risk governance documentation, including meeting templates, escalation flows, RACI matrices, and other compliance-related materials.
• Oversee accurate and up-to-date Org Chart management, supporting risk visibility of team structure, resourcing changes, and control environment impact.
• Administer activities related to personnel changes (e.g., new starters/leavers), capturing relevant risk-related metadata, e.g. access control lists, communications alignment, and onboarding compliance.
• Manage and regularly audit the Group Technology mailing lists, ensuring appropriate distribution governance and data access principles are applied.
• Compile and present monthly people movement reports (e.g. resignations and leavers) to the Technology Leadership Team, including analysis of potential risk impact to key functions.
• Coordinate and facilitate internal capability-building sessions, such as “Lunch & Learn” series and induction workshops, with a lens on governance awareness and risk culture.

Skills & Experience:

• Minimum 1–2 years’ experience in a risk, operations or HR administrative support role
• Excellent written and verbal communication, able to translate complex information into clear, concise formats for technical and non-technical audiences.
• Strong analytical mindset with a high level of accuracy and attention to detail, particularly in preparing risk documentation and governance materials.
• Highly organised and deadline-driven, able to manage priorities across multiple risk and operational workstreams.
• Comfortable working both independently and as part of a team, with a proactive and collaborative approach to escalating risks and identifying improvement opportunities.
• Demonstrated judgment and discretion when dealing with sensitive or confidential information.
• Proficient in Microsoft Office suite (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook); knowledge of SharePoint or Viva Engage a plus.
