Job Descriptions
Your
Role:
Our purpose in Permanent TSB is to work hard every day to build
trust with our customers. A cornerstone to maintaining that trust is being able
to provide them with access to our services with minimal disruption. The
reality is that our services cannot be delivered without a suite of Technology
assets making that possible. As such, the resiliency of our IT estate against
potential disruptions is fundamental to our business and to delivering on our
purpose.
To build on the momentum of our existing resilience agenda, and to
enable us to deliver on our requirements under the EU’s Digital Operational
Resilience Act (DORA), we are expanding our Technology Assurance Team.
Joining us as the Controls Testing Specialist, you will have the
opportunity to:
- Plan, schedule and execute testing of Group Technology controls to
assess their design adequacy and operating effectiveness, to include
testing of key Digital Resilience controls.
- Facilitate the review of Group Technology processes,
risks and mitigating controls.
- Agree remediation actions relating to Control Action Plans (CAPs),
track actions to completion and update CAPs as changes occur.
- Test adherence to relevant
policies and standards.
Permanent TSB is built on many different cultures established
through mergers and demergers over our 200 years in business. We value a
diverse mix of experience and perspectives and would encourage you to apply
even if you feel you don’t meet all the requirements outlined below. In joining
us, you would join a financial institution large enough to make a difference
but small enough for your work to be noticed and to have a tangible impact on
the success of our business. We offer:
- hybrid working;
- excellent career progression;
- training and development
opportunities; and a
- full package of benefits.
