Technology Operational Risk Management (Technology Development) - Executive Director

Bring your expertise to JPMorgan Chase.

As part of Risk Management and Compliance, you are at the center of keeping JPMorgan Chase strong and resilient.

You help the firm grow its business in a responsible way by anticipating new and emerging risks, and using your expert judgement to solve real-world challenges that impact our company, customers and communities.

As an Executive Director Technology Development Risk Lead in Technology and Cybersecurity Operational Risk Management, you form an independent view of whether the controls over software delivery still hold now that a large share of code is written by artificial intelligence agents.

You will use data-first approaches to show what is actually happening across the engineering estate, challenge the first line on what that data reveals, and report a position that senior management and regulators can rely on.

You will do this as an individual contributor, close enough to the technology to stay credible with the engineers you challenge.

Your role offers the opportunity to join the Tech and Cyber Operational Risk Management team, responsible for the successful implementation and execution of the Compliance, Conduct, and Operational Risk framework within JPMorgan.

* Evaluate the entitlements and credentials granted to development tooling and autonomous agents, and whether access controls still hold when a machine rather than a person initiates a change.


* Assess whether observability and telemetry across the engineering estate is sufficient to detect data loss, misuse, and unexpected agent behaviour.


* Utilize Python and SQL to analyze large engineering data sets, and build dashboards and reports that make development risk visible to senior management.


* Define and test statistical hypotheses to identify thematic risks in software delivery from key risk indicator and key performance indicator performance.


* Develop and maintain the annual oversight plan for this domain, and report an independent view to senior management, control committees, internal audit, and regulators.
