IT Risk & Incident Manager

Our client, a leading financial institution with a significant technology footprint across Singapore and the wider APAC region, is looking for an IT Risk & Incident Manager to sit at the intersection of technology risk governance and major incident response.

This is a hands-on role for someone equally comfortable leading a live incident bridge and holding a technology risk conversation with senior stakeholders and regulators.

What you'll do

• Provide first-line technology risk governance across the technology function, covering policy review, gap assessment and alignment to internal and regulatory standards
• Lead the response to major and critical technology incidents, owning command, priorities, decision rights and stakeholder communication
• Balance recovery urgency against risk, cyber security, change-control and data-integrity considerations
• Translate technical incidents into clear business-impact updates for senior management and governance forums
• Support regulator-facing colleagues with accurate incident reporting for MAS and other APAC regulators
• Facilitate post-incident reviews, challenge root-cause quality and timeliness, and track corrective actions to closure
• Identify recurring incidents and control weaknesses, escalating through problem management and governance channels
• Monitor third-party performance during incidents against contractual service levels and operational-resilience obligations
• Lead technology risk, resilience and remediation projects end to end, including scope, budget and delivery planning

What you'll bring

• Banking experience is essential; this role requires a solid understanding of a bank's technology, risk and control environment
• Proven experience in technology risk management and major incident management within a regulated financial services environment
• Working knowledge of incident, problem and change management frameworks
• Experience engaging senior stakeholders and, ideally, regulatory bodies (MAS or equivalent APAC regulators)
• Strong root-cause analysis and remediation-tracking discipline
• Comfortable operating under pressure during live incidents while keeping an eye on governance and control

Why apply

Broad, senior-facing remit spanning risk governance, incident leadership and project delivery. A strong next step for someone who wants ownership across the full technology risk and resilience lifecycle, not just one slice of it.
