Risk Technology - ServiceNow IRM - Senior

The risk landscape is continuously changing due to market volatility, geopolitical crises, widespread economic changes, regulatory reforms, and cyber threats. Organizations are increasingly seeking to establish, mature, and optimize risk and compliance activities to manage risk more efficiently and effectively, including providing greater visibility to risks – enabling decision-making. In addition, organizations are focused on realizing greater value out of their risk and compliance functions and driving efficiencies/cost savings. However, clients continue to struggle with utilizing available technology capabilities, including risk technology, to automate and enable their programs, or to achieve integrated risk management (IRM) – connecting processes and data required to manage risk and compliance. As a member of Risk Technology, you will help our clients assess, design/architect, and implement technology solutions to optimize their risk and compliance programs across risk disciplines (e.g., integrated risk management, enterprise risk management, IT risk management, cyber risk management, third party risk management, internal controls, compliance, internal audit). You will have the opportunity to serve as a Risk Technology consultant, bringing both functional and technical knowledge well-sought after by our clients – both addressing their needs as well as bringing insights to help them achieve their business objectives.

You will work with multi-disciplinary team members, within Risk Technology and across other competencies, to help clients automate and mature their risk and compliance programs utilizing ServiceNow Integrated Risk Management (IRM) as well as other relevant parties of the platform. You will support and work with team members, both onshore and offshore, including developing both functional and technical skillsets required to address our client’s evolving needs. In addition, you will have the opportunity to support business development activities ranging from responding to proposals to fostering relationships and setting the stage for the next phases of work or opportunities. You will be expected to directly interact and work with our clients, including supporting the day-to-day execution and interactions between our EY and client teams. As EY is a global leading professional services organization, you will be working with talented individuals and within a culture built on teaming, integrity, and collaboration, and for however long you stay, the exceptional EY experience lasts a lifetime.
