Position: Senior Manager, Control Testing Reporting and Operations (Global Security)

Job Description What is the opportunity?

The Senior Manager, Control Testing Reporting and Operations is a strategic role that bridges testing execution with data‑driven insights and process. You'll play a key part in the control testing function, responsible for orchestrating the team's testing activities while transforming raw testing data into actionable intelligence.

What will you do?
  • Maintain and update the team's testing schedule, tracking completion status, due dates, and resource assignments across all active engagements
  • Build and maintain Excel‑based dashboards and reporting tools to track testing completion, deficiency counts, aging issues, and remediation progress
  • Perform data analysis on control testing results to identify trends, recurring failures, and areas requiring deeper investigation
  • Identify repetitive manual tasks within the testing cycle that are candidates for automation or AI‑assisted processing
  • Support the build‑out of automated reporting templates and testing workflows using available tools (Excel macros, Power Query, Python, or RPA)
  • Prepare and maintain testing trackers, issue logs, and status reports to support team‑wide visibility and accountability
  • Ensure all work papers, evidence files, and supporting documentation are stored and organized per quality standards
  • Develop team capability in translating data into compelling narratives; coach team members on how to articulate findings in both technical and business terms for different audiences
  • Model cross‑functional collaboration, represent and scale issues and opportunities to senior leadership
What do you need to succeed? Must‑have
  • 7+ years of experience in IT Risk, IT Audit, or technology controls within the financial services industry, with at least 2 years in a team lead or supervisory capacity
  • Bachelor’s degree in information systems, Computer Science, Finance, or a related field
  • Strong understanding of data analytics and governance frameworks; ability to investigate and articulate the "story" behind control testing data—not just what the numbers show, but why patterns emerge; demonstrated capability to translate technical data insights into business‑relevant narratives.

    Note:

    Control testing execution is not required for this role; expertise in understanding and analysing the data generated by control testing activities is essential.
  • Advanced Excel proficiency including pivot tables, Power Query, VLOOKUP/XLOOKUP, conditional formatting, and dashboard construction; expertise in designing advanced reporting models (dashboards, KRI trackers, issue aging reports, testing coverage summaries); ability to build and automate recurring management reports (weekly, monthly, quarterly); data analytical mindset to identify patterns, systemic weaknesses, and recurring failures
  • Experience with scheduling, resource planning, and team capacity management in a structured program environment
  • Familiarity with GRC platforms (Service Now GRC, RSA Archer, or equivalent) and document management systems
  • Exceptional reporting and communication skills
  • Professional certifications strongly preferred (CISA, CRISC, CISSP, CIA, or CPA)
  • Familiarity with one or more industry frameworks (COBIT, NIST CSF, ISO 27001, ITIL)
Nice‑to‑have
  • Advanced knowledge of process automation tools and emerging AI‑assisted analytics capabilities
  • Experience leading or supporting digital transformation initiatives within risk and compliance functions
