About The Role
We are seeking a motivated and experienced Risk specialist to join the Business Services Management Branch in supporting the department's Information Management and Technology Division (IMTD) risk functions. The role is suited to someone with a background within an IT environment who understands technology, processes and systems, and business risks. This is not a cyber security, audit or assurance role. Instead, the position focuses on embedding practical risk management practices across IMTD.
You'll work closely with the IMTD branches, senior leaders, executives, and the department's corporate risk area, to identify, manage and report on risks associated with IMTD service delivery initiatives.
To Succeed In The Role You'll Need To Have
* Demonstrated experience working in IT, technology, or digital environments
* The ability to engage with both technical and non-technical stakeholders
* Strong communication and problem solving skills
* Experience and strong understanding of risk and assurance management practices and processes
* Strong attention to detail and accuracy
* Previous experience in risk management and governance in a government environment is desirable but not essential.
