An outstanding opportunity has been announced to join a FTSE 100 organisation as Head of Technology, Risk & Delivery Assurance. This is a senior leadership role with strategic influence, offering the chance to shape and embed governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) practices across a dynamic technology function.

We are seeking a technology-driven leader who understands the full delivery lifecycle of software products and the challenges faced by engineering teams. You will serve as the primary voice for GRC-related matters, bringing a strong understanding of how to balance regulatory obligations with agile product and software development practices.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead the strategic direction for GRC within the technology function
• Design, develop, and implement frameworks that ensure compliance and drive continuous improvement
• Ensure GRC principles are effectively embedded into engineering and product workflows
• Provide expert guidance to senior stakeholders and act as a trusted advisor on all risk and assurance matters
• Translate high-level regulatory requirements into actionable, metric-driven strategies
• Promote a culture of operational excellence and accountability within delivery teams

Required Skills & Experience:

• Deep understanding of GRC within a technology context, with the ability to influence technical stakeholders
• A technical background or experience working closely with engineering teams
• Strong strategic thinking with the ability to develop and execute roadmaps aligned with business goals
• Proven ability to design and utilise performance metrics to enhance compliance and delivery assurance
• Expertise in process design and implementation to improve team effectiveness
• Strong leadership presence and the interpersonal skills needed to influence at all levels

This is a high-impact position requiring both technical credibility and strong leadership capabilities. You’ll play a pivotal role in ensuring that governance and regulatory frameworks support—rather than hinder—technology innovation.
