Chief CITO Control Officer
Chief CITO Control Officer
Managing Tech and Data, and its risks, are crucial for our organization and our customers. As Chief CITO Control Officer, you are responsible for an effective and efficient first line risk management process to enable the CITO (Chief Innovation & Technology Office) organization to be compliant and demonstrably in control.
You and your job
Together with approximately 30 professionals in the CITO Control Office, you are responsible for the integral and consistent risk management approach (way of working) within CITO. To ensure success in this role, collaboration is key. For this, (senior) stakeholder management is required with your fellow members of MT CITO, their (operational) risk teams, and the various lines of defence.
You will work in a challenging and exciting environment with many technological and regulatory developments (e.g. GenAI, DORA). You make sure risk management keeps evolving and supports future developments. You will seek balance, while driving CITO to be demonstrably in control of its risks. This requires a thorough understanding how to optimise first line risk management, and finding that healthy balance between managing the risk profile and getting a return on investment. A key element of that is ensuring the integrated, uniform and standardized application of Rabobank’s risk framework to CITO. Furthermore, you will apply the CITO risk network (i.e. your team and CITO risk functions) to promote a culture of risk awareness and continuous improvement.
As Chief CITO Control Officer you are responsible for the four teams within the CITO Control Office; Change & In Control, Special Frameworks, Non-Tech and the Control Support Office. Next to that you will also participate in the MT CITO.
