The Platform Governance & Risk Lead connects Platform Engineering with enterprise risk and control functions, helping ensure that platform technology assets are governed appropriately throughout their lifecycle. The role focuses on governance and controls associated with technology assets represented in Service Now and works across the platform organization to create visibility, establish accountability, coordinate remediation, and make risk requirements actionable. While this position sits within an engineering job family, it is not a traditional software-development role.

It combines technology governance, operational risk, analytics, stakeholder management, and program execution in a regulated enterprise environment.

• You’ll own the operating framework that enables Platform Engineering to understand, manage, and communicate governance and control obligations associated with its technology assets.
• Serve as the Platform Engineering liaison into relevant enterprise risk, governance, and control processes.
• Coordinate governance and control activities for Platform Engineering assets represented in Service Now.
• Work across platform pillars to establish accountable asset owners and drive required governance actions to completion.
• Create clear, decision-ready views of risks, control obligations, exceptions, evidence requests, and remediation activity.
• Establish metrics and reporting that give Platform Engineering leadership visibility into governance posture and emerging areas of concern.
• Translate enterprise risk and control requirements into practical actions for engineering and product teams.
• Coordinate documentation, evidence, and follow-up across technical owners, control partners, and enterprise risk stakeholders.
• Identify recurring or systemic governance issues and drive durable improvements rather than treating each finding as an isolated event.
• Escalate material risks and blockers with clear context, ownership, impact, options, and required decisions.
• Help embed governance into the Platform Engineering operating model so that controls are addressed through normal planning and delivery practices.

• Experience in technology risk, IT governance, technology controls, technology asset management, operational risk, compliance, or a closely related discipline.
• Demonstrated experience partnering with engineering, infrastructure, cloud, platform, or enterprise technology organizations.
• Working knowledge of Service Now and technology asset, configuration, or service-management environments.
• Ability to interpret governance requirements and convert them into clear, executable actions for technical teams.
• Strong analytical, reporting, data-management, and problem-solving skills.
• Excellent written and verbal communication across technical and nontechnical stakeholders.
• Ability to influence outcomes and drive accountability in a complex matrixed organization.

• Experience in financial services or another highly regulated industry.
• Experience building risk dashboards, control reporting, or executive governance materials.
• Familiarity with technology asset lifecycle controls, CMDB concepts, audit evidence, issue management, and remediation governance.

Platform leaders have a reliable view of governance and risk posture; technology assets have clear ownership; obligations and remediation actions are visible; and enterprise requirements become part of normal platform operations rather than emergency exercises.
