Role OverviewThe IT Governance Senior Specialist sets and governs the processes that control how SiFi runs and changes its technology. As a SAMA-licensed institution operating live payment systems, every production change and every service process has to be controlled, traceable and audit-ready.
This role designs SiFi's IT governance, IT service management (ITSM) and change management processes together with the Infrastructure, Engineering and Cybersecurity teams, and makes sure they are implemented and followed. The processes must align with ITIL best practice and the SAMA IT Governance Framework, and hold up under audit and regulatory review.
1. IT Governance & Regulatory Alignment- Develop and maintain IT governance policies, standards and procedures aligned with ITIL 4 and the SAMA IT Governance Framework
- Run gap and maturity assessments against SAMA requirements, and own the resulting remediation plans through to closure
- Prepare evidence and coordinate internal audits, external audits and regulatory reviews of IT governance controls
- Work with Cybersecurity GRC, Risk and Compliance on shared controls (SAMA Cyber Security and Business Continuity frameworks)
- Co-design, roll out and continuously improve ITSM processes with Infrastructure, Engineering and Cybersecurity: incident, problem, service request, service level, configuration and asset, and knowledge management
- Define and maintain the IT service catalogue, SLAs and OLAs with Engineering, Operations and Customer Support
- Monitor third-party and vendor service levels and elevate breaches
- Configure process workflows in the ITSM platform and drive adoption across teams
- Design and govern the change management framework: change request standards, risk and impact classification, Change Advisory Board (CAB), standard and emergency changes, and post-implementation reviews
- Identify and track IT risks and control gaps arising from technology changes, ensure appropriate mitigating controls and ownership are defined, and follow remediation actions through to closure.
- Co-develop the process with Infrastructure, Engineering and Cybersecurity so it fits how each team delivers, and embed it in their tooling and workflows
- Act as process owner, not technical approver: approval of individual changes stays with the relevant engineering, infrastructure and security leads
- Monitor adherence: verify that production changes are approved, tested, segregated, traceable and have a rollback plan, and elevate non-compliance
- Track change success rate, failed changes and unauthorized changes, and drive improvements with the owning teams
- Govern user access lifecycle processes, including joiner, mover and leaver activities.
- Define and coordinate periodic user access reviews across systems and applications.
- Govern role-based access, least privilege, privileged access and segregation of duties requirements.
- Monitor access exceptions, dormant accounts, excessive privileges and unresolved access issues.
- Ensure access approvals, ownership and review responsibilities are clearly defined and followed.
- Coordinate with IT, Engineering, Cybersecurity, HR and system owners on IAM governance and remediation activities.
