Director, ICT Risk and Security Reporting Most technology risk reporting roles exist to document what's already happened. This one exists to shape what happens next. The Opportunity This is a newly created Director-level position within the Risk function of one of Europe's leading international banks. You'll be joining at the point where the function is being built, not inherited, which means you'll have genuine influence over how ICT risk and security reporting is structured, governed, and matured from the ground up. The regulatory environment is as complex as it gets right now: DORA is live, EBA ICT guidelines are evolving, and banks are under real scrutiny on operational resilience. You'll be working at the centre of all of it, translating technical and cyber risk into intelligence that drives decisions at board and executive level. Critically, this isn't a back-seat reporting role. You'll be expected to challenge the first line, push back where data quality or risk transparency falls short, and bring an architectural view of technology risk that goes beyond compliance checklists. The business wants someone with enough credibility and backbone to be genuinely heard. There is a clear path upward for the right person. This is a role you can grow into a broader leadership position, in a bank that operates at international scale. The Role Own and evolve the ICT Risk and Security reporting framework across the bank Deliver board-level, executive, and risk committee reporting on technology and cyber risk Translate complex technical and security risk data into clear, actionable business narratives Develop risk metrics, KRIs, dashboards, and management information across ICT and cyber domains Identify emerging risks and systemic themes across technology, cyber, resilience, and third-party environments Challenge the first line on data quality, risk transparency, and governance consistency Support regulatory and governance obligations including DORA and EBA ICT guidelines Drive continuous improvement in reporting automation, data visualisation, and risk analytics Partner with senior stakeholders across Technology, Cyber Security, Risk, Compliance, and Internal Audit What You'll Need Significant experience in ICT Risk, Technology Risk, Cyber Risk, or Information Security Governance, ideally within banking or regulated financial services An architectural view of technology risk, with the ability to identify systemic issues, not just point-in-time findings Proven experience producing board-facing or executive-level risk reporting Strong working knowledge of DORA, EBA ICT guidelines, and operational resilience frameworks The credibility and confidence to challenge senior stakeholders and first-line teams Exceptional ability to communicate complex risk information clearly to non-technical audiences Relevant certifications such as CISA, CRISC, CISSP, or CGEIT are advantageous Fluent English required What's on Offer Competitive compensation package commensurate with Director-level seniority Company pension scheme and comprehensive risk coverage including accident insurance Car leasing and bike leasing schemes with tax advantages IT device leasing for personal use Hybrid working model based in Prague Clear scope for progression within an international banking group How to Apply Apply via the link below.
