Senior Technology Risk Consultant

Were seeking a Senior Technology Risk Consultant to support initiatives across the Enterprise AI & Engineering Platforms organization and broader technology landscape with a focus on modern technology platforms cloud environments and emerging capabilities such as Generative AI.

This role is designed for a technology-first risk professional someone who is comfortable working across a wide range of platforms (infrastructure applications analytics and AI) quickly understanding how systems are built and evaluating risk in real-world implementations.

You will partner directly with engineers architects and product teams to assess risk challenge decisions and recommend practical control improvements. This is not a policy-heavy or governance-only role. Success in this position requires hands-on risk assessment experience and the ability to operate across diverse and evolving technology domains.

What Youll Do

• Assess risk across modern technology environments including cloud platforms applications analytics ecosystems and emerging AI/GenAI capabilities.

• Perform hands-on end-to-end risk assessments evaluating how systems are designed implemented and operatedidentifying control gaps and recommending pragmatic mitigations.

• Partner closely with engineering architecture and product teams to understand technical designs and influence outcomes with clear actionable risk insights.

• Evaluate a wide variety of platforms and use cases demonstrating the ability to quickly ramp into new technologies and apply consistent risk assessment rigor.

• Translate complex technical concepts into clear business-relevant risk perspectives for senior stakeholders.

• Challenge assumptions and design decisions where appropriate helping teams balance speed innovation and risk management.

• Contribute to cross-functional initiatives and emerging technology efforts bringing a technology-aware risk lens to new and evolving capabilities.

What Sets This Role Apart

• You will operate as a horizontal risk advisor not tied to a single domain (e.g. not just data governance or model risk)

• Exposure to a broad and evolving technology landscape including cloud platforms and AI

• Opportunity to work directly with technical teams shaping real implementations

Qualifications

• Typically 8 years of experience in technology risk cybersecurity engineering or a related technical field

• Demonstrated experience performing hands-on risk assessments across diverse technology environments (e.g. cloud infrastructure applications platforms or AI/ML systems)

• Strong ability to understand technical architectures and challenge design decisions

• Experience working directly with engineers architects or technical product teams

• Proven ability to operate across multiple domains and rapidly ramp up on new technologies

• Consulting or advisory experience with the ability to provide clear actionable recommendations not just identify issues

What Will Differentiate You

• Background that blends technical depth with risk assessment experience (e.g. prior engineering architecture or security experience)

• Exposure to cloud platforms (AWS Azure GCP) APIs or distributed systems

• Experience assessing emerging technologies (e.g. GenAI machine learning platforms) in real-world implementations

• Demonstrated ability to navigate ambiguity and flex across changing priorities
