• Drive compliance with the ING Risk Management Framework, including maintenance of risk registers, profiles, and dashboards.
• Assess IT control design and operating effectiveness; recommend, track, and validate improvements.
• Support incident investigations, contributing to root‑cause analysis and remediation steps.
• Prepare and deliver risk‑awareness content (work instructions, demos, training materials).
• Assist with audits and evidence collection.
• Contribute to wider squad objectives (e.g., release management, incident process enhancements).

• 6+ years of analytical or investigative experience.
• Solid understanding of SDLC, deployment pipelines, and automation‑focused delivery.
• Practical understanding of BIA, detailed risk assessments, and control applicability.
• Expertise in key control areas: Change Management, Platform Security, Operational & Cyber Resilience, Security Monitoring, and IAM.
• Ability to coach engineers and communicate clearly with diverse stakeholders in an agile environment.

Nice to have
