The role will help build andoperate the unified control library and standards capability that defines what good looks like forstandard andcontrol owners across Technology and Cyber Security. 

This is not simply astandards-mapping or library-administration role. The Senior Analyst will own defined components of the control and standards lifecycle, translating regulatory obligations,recognised frameworks, audit lessons and technical requirements into clearstandards requirements,controlobjectives, practical implementationguidance and evidence expectations. Working with Technology and Cyber specialists, the role will challenge gaps, unclearownership and weak control language so that the framework is usable, traceable anddecision-ready. 

The role will also helpmodernise how thestandards andcontrol library is run, using data, automation and approved artificial intelligence capabilities to improve mapping, quality checks,traceability and reporting whileretaining human review and accountability. It offers broad exposure tostandard owners,control owners, engineers, Cyber Security specialists, auditors, regulators and risk professionals, and a strong development path into control architecture, standards leadership, technicalmonitoring or GRC product ownership.

• Support Risk and ControlSelfAssessments (RCSA), audits, regulatory examinations,certifications and other external assessments by providing reliable control mappings, impact analysis, evidenceexpectations and remediation traceability; the role does not provide an independent assurance opinion. 

• Monitor emerging Technology, Cyber, operational resilience and artificial intelligence requirements.  

• Use analysis, reporting and approved automation or artificial intelligence capabilities to improve control mapping, duplicate detection, data quality, workflowefficiency and management insight, ensuring material outputsremain subject toappropriate human review. 

• Build positive relationships across Technology, Cyber Security, Risk, Audit and the three lines ofdefence, presenting sophisticated framework and regulatory requirements clearly and constructively challenging where content or evidence is not sufficiently robust.
