We are looking to hire a Director, Technology Risk & Digital Enablement to join the Global Risk and Audit Management (GRAM) team based at our Global Headquarters in Hunt Valley, Maryland. The position is hybrid eligible (50% onsite per month).

This individual serves as the strategic leader in advancing global technology and cyber risk coverage while simultaneously acting as the function’s digital transformation champion — driving the adoption of analytics, automation, and emerging technologies to make audit activities smarter, faster, and more impactful.

This is a dual-mandate role: one foot firmly in risk and assurance, the other driving innovation. The successful candidate will be as comfortable presenting technology risk insights to the Audit Committee as they are building a data analytics roadmap with audit teams.

• Stay current with the evolving technology risk landscape (e.g., cloud, AI/ML risk, ransomware, third‑party digital risk) and ensure risk mitigation and audit plans remain relevant and forward‑looking.
• Oversee quality assurance on technology audit engagements, ensuring findings are well‑evidenced, rated consistently, and linked to business impact.
• Champion the adoption of digital tools and capabilities within Internal Audit, including data analytics, automation/AI‑assisted audit techniques, and continuous monitoring.
• Define and execute a multi‑year Digital Enablement Roadmap for the GRAM function, with measurable milestones and efficiency outcomes.
• Partner with Data & Analytics, IT, and external vendors to build and sustain function‑specific data pipelines, dashboards, and automated testing capabilities.
• Identify and pilot emerging technologies (e.g., natural language processing for document review, anomaly detection, GRC platform enhancements).
• Embed data‑driven risk management techniques into engagements, helping teams move from sample‑based testing to population‑level analysis.
• Track and report on digital enablement ROI — efficiency gains, risk coverage expansion, and quality improvements.

• Recruit and retain top technology risk talent, building a team that blends deep technical expertise with strong business acumen.
• Lead, mentor, and develop a team of technology risk professionals (in‑house and co‑source provider), fostering a culture of continuous learning and innovation.
• Build digital literacy and data analytics skills across the broader audit function through training, coaching, and hands‑on engagement.
