Role Overview
We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Project Manager specializing in IT Risk Management to join our Technology SOX Governance (TSG) team. This role is specifically open to former Capital One contractors who possess a deep understanding of the organization’s internal processes and risk frameworks. As a Risk Specialist, you will be at the forefront of identifying, mitigating, and managing potential risks to the company’s technological infrastructure. This position offers a hybrid work arrangement, allowing for a balance between remote work and in-office collaboration at our locations in Plano, TX, Richmond, VA, or McLean, VA. The successful candidate will play a pivotal role in maintaining the integrity of our financial systems and ensuring compliance with stringent regulatory standards. This is a high-visibility role that requires a blend of technical expertise, project management prowess, and exceptional communication skills to navigate the complex landscape of modern financial technology risk.
Primary Responsibilities
- Control Governance: You will be responsible for ensuring that assigned technology controls are operating effectively and as designed. This involves owning the operational oversight and adhering to all relevant policies and standards. You will act as a subject matter expert for your portfolio, providing guidance to various business units.
- Control Maintenance: Provide expert consultation and oversight on control design. You will perform effective challenges on existing designs to ensure they meet both internal and external testing requirements. This includes updating documentation and ensuring that control owners are aware of their responsibilities.
- Testing Readiness: Conduct independent management pre-audit assessments of first-line technology controls. Your goal is to determine the sufficiency of processes and the effectiveness of execution before formal testing evaluations occur. This proactive approach helps identify gaps early and ensures a smooth audit process.
- Issues Management: In the event of a potential issue, you will provide consultation and effective challenge, taking accountability for the remediation plan and the eventual closure of the issue. You will work closely with technical teams to ensure that root causes are addressed and that similar issues do not recur.
- Strategic Delivery: Contribute to continuous process improvement initiatives. You will identify solutions that drive efficiency and optimization within the technology risk and control domain, implementing these via Agile or standard SDLC methodologies. This involves staying current with industry trends and adopting new tools and techniques to enhance our risk management capabilities.
Technical Requirements and Qualifications
- Minimum of a High School Diploma or GED; a Bachelor’s Degree in Information Systems, Computer Science, or a related field is strongly preferred.
- At least 3 years of dedicated Risk Management experience within a large-scale corporate environment.
- 4+ years of experience in Information Systems Risk Management, IT Audit, and Compliance, specifically focusing on technology-driven processes.
- 4+ years of Project Management experience leading cross-functional projects within a risk or audit environment.
- 3+ years of experience with industry risk frameworks and quantitative analysis techniques.
- 3+ years of hands-on experience with COSO methodology and Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) regulations, particularly Section 404.
- Proficiency in Python, SQL, or Databricks is highly desirable for data-driven risk analysis.
- Relevant certifications such as PMP, CRISC, CISA, CISM, or CISSP are a significant plus and will be given priority.
Work Environment and Culture
The TSG team is a high-exposure group that works across various lines of business. You will have the opportunity to collaborate with control stakeholders at all levels of the organization, from technical engineers to senior executives. We value professionals who are self-starters, possess excellent communication skills, and are capable of creating innovative solutions to complex risk problems. This role is critical to maintaining the stability and success of our enterprise technology operations. In addition to the core responsibilities, the successful candidate will be expected to stay abreast of the evolving regulatory landscape. The IT Risk Management field is constantly changing, and as a Project Manager, you will lead the charge in adapting our internal controls to meet new challenges. This includes participating in steering committee meetings, providing regular status updates to senior leadership, and mentoring junior risk specialists within the team. Your ability to translate complex technical risks into business-oriented language will be key to your success. We are looking for someone who not only understands the ‘how’ of risk management but also the ‘why,’ ensuring that our risk posture aligns with the broader strategic goals of the firm. The hybrid model requires a candidate who is disciplined and capable of maintaining high productivity while working remotely, yet values the face-to-face interaction necessary for complex problem-solving sessions in the office. If you are a former Capital One contractor with a passion for IT risk and a proven track record of project delivery, we encourage you to apply and help us build a more resilient future.
