## Job description

Trust unlocks our greatest potential. For decades, the clearing of payments remained unchanged and unchallenged. We asked, what if there was a better way? What if we could make banking infrastructure faster, safer, more reliable, and easier to access for all? Here is where you can think radically and responsibly to find the best solution. What happens when you know you’re inherently trusted? Trust creates safety. Safety encourages you to be brave, to challenge, to fail, to try new things and to execute. At ClearBank everything revolves around trust. We’re not expected to earn it, but we are expected not to break it. We’re trusted to own it. To solve issues in the moment. To know a good risk when we see one, and the judgement to know that ‘can’ doesn’t always mean you ‘should’.

What you can expect: ClearBank is a place where you can do things differently and challenge the status quo. We will give you a high level of autonomy and transparency, and we trust you to make the right decisions for the bank. If that excites you, how about joining our IT & Operations team as a Senior Technology Governance Associate? Reporting to the Head of Technology, you will play a key role in monitoring technology services and maintaining governance, ensuring compliance with outsourcing and regulatory obligations while providing accurate reporting for audits, regulators and senior management.

Your role includes:

Technology Oversight Support:

- Monitor the delivery of technology services to ensure compliance with outsourcing obligations, promptly escalating deviations, and maintain accurate documentation and oversight evidence to meet regulatory requirements.

Data and Information Security Governance:

- Support development and oversight of Data and Information Security Governance to meet regulatory and internal standards.

Overall Governance & Coordination:

- Coordinate with internal teams on technology incidents and remediation, providing timely updates to stakeholders.
- Maintain and report evidence of compliance with technology-related regulations such as DORA, MiCAR, and cybersecurity obligations.
- Support technology risk assessments and contribute inputs for risk reporting.
- Support oversight of ICT third-party supply management activities to ensure compliance with contractual and regulatory requirements.
- Analyse data from oversight activities to identify trends and provide. actionable insights for governance and strategic decision-making.
- Prepare governance reports and maintain oversight logs to meet audit and regulatory requirements.
- Assist in closing management actions from second and third line reviews.
- Liaise with internal stakeholders to ensure ClearBank Europe requirements are captured and integrated into new initiatives.

## What you’ll bring

To excel in this role, you’ll also need:

- Strong knowledge of technology in financial services and fintech.
- Strong knowledge of Information Security and Data Governance and Management.
- Good knowledge of technology related regulations such as DORA, MiCAR and Cybersecurity obligations; practical experience would be a plus.
- Understanding of crypto asset technologies and their regulatory implications would be a plus.
- Understanding of Payment Rails (such as SEPA and Target 2) would be a plus
- Strong analytical and communication skills, with the ability to interpret data, present actionable insights, and collaborate effectively across teams and geographies.
- Proactive and detail-oriented, capable of managing multiple priorities with excellent organizational and stakeholder management skills.

What makes a great ClearBank team member? Does this sound like you?

- You focus on solutions and positive outcomes, thinking radically and responsibly to find the best result for our customers, your colleagues and the bank;
- You actively seek feedback from others to drive your growth and development, always assuming positive intent from others and develop strong, trusting relationships you’re your colleagues and customers: you really, genuinely care;
- You always strive for the highest quality, but you know that done is better than perfect; you welcome a challenge knowing that they learn as you go and iterate;
- ‘I’ before ’we’, isn’t in your vocabulary
