Job Description

YOUR IMPACT

As a Vice President in the Risk Practices and Control Management Team within the Digital Risk Office (DRO), you will play a pivotal role in shaping and maturing the technology control landscape across Goldman Sachs' Engineering division. You will act as a trusted advisor and strategic partner to engineering leaders, bridging the gap between complex technical architectures and risk governance.

By designing, implementing, and enhancing our control management framework, you will directly influence how the firm mitigates technology risks, ensures continuous audit and assessment readiness, and maintains compliance with evolving global regulations. This high-visibility role offers a unique opportunity to drive operational resilience, foster a strong risk-aware culture, and deliver sustainable, risk-aligned control solutions that protect the firm's global systems and infrastructure.

HOW YOU WILL FULFILL YOUR POTENTIAL

Your responsibilities will focus on developing and maturing risk practices and control management across the engineering division. In this role, you and your team will collaborate closely with all control programs within engineering to understand control objectives, control designs, identified risks, and the operational processes in which these controls reside. You will act as a trusted advisor to engineering teams, guiding them on industry best practices for control identification, design, and measurement. Additionally, you will partner on strategic, firm-wide programs aimed at mitigating technology risks and enhancing operational resilience. By monitoring and analyzing new or evolving regulations impacting the technology control environment, you will translate complex compliance mandates into actionable requirements for control, risk, and process owners. This position offers a unique vantage point to build a broad, deep understanding of the business and technologies across the entire organization while collaborating with engineers and leaders at all levels.

To be successful in this role, you must possess exceptional communication skills and the ability to articulate complex risk and control concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders at all levels of the firm. You should have a proven track record of managing multiple complex programs simultaneously in a high-pressure, dynamic environment where change is commonplace. Strong stakeholder management and collaborative leadership skills are essential, as you will be responsible for influencing and driving consensus across diverse engineering and business teams.

Responsibilities include:
  • Oversee Risks and controls as part of first line of defense identifying weakness, recommending improvements, and educating the control program owners on risk posture across engineering products- including initiatives leveraging traditional AI, generative AI and agentic AI.
  • Develop, implement, and enhance the control management framework, processes, standards, and guidelines to ensure robust, ongoing technology control management across all systems and infrastructures.
  • Foster a culture of partnership, collaboration and transparency with control, process and risk owning teams, serving as a subject matter expert.
  • Assess and review technology policies, standards, and control changes to ensure comprehensive risk management and regulatory and industry standard alignment.
  • Review and evaluate technology control designs across engineering systems, applications, and infrastructure to ensure robust risk mitigation, and compliance with industry standards (e.g., NIST SP 800-53, ISO 27001, COBIT).
  • Execute and maintain an integrated, risk-aligned technology control environment, ensuring all engineering systems, applications, and infrastructure controls are mapped directly to the firm's risk taxonomy and business objectives.
  • Enforce regulatory responsiveness by continuously monitoring global regulatory developments (e.g., DORA, NIST, ISO) and translating complex compliance mandates into concrete, actionable engineering control requirements.
  • Drive continuous assessment readiness across the Engineering division, ensuring that all technology controls are documented, evidenced, and prepared for (1) evaluation by internal and external auditors (2) controls assessments such as RCSA and M&T.
  • Establish and manage sustainable operational oversight mechanisms, including key risk indicators (KRIs), control metrics, and continuous monitoring, to proactively manage and mitigate technology risks.
  • Translate complex control implementation and risk mitigation strategies into clear, non-technical business terms for senior leadership and key stakeholders.


BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
  • Experience with developing policies and procedures according to internationally recognized methodologies for IT management in the domains related to Software Engineering and IT Technology.
  • Strong understanding of enterprise technology concepts, including cloud computing (AWS, Azure, GCP), microservices, APIs, containerization, CI/CD pipelines, databases, and modern software engineering practices.
  • Framework Knowledge: Deep knowledge of industry-standard technology risk and control frameworks (e.g., NIST SP 800-53, NIST CSF, ISO 27001, COBIT, CSA CCM, ITIL).
  • 7+ years of relevant experience in technology risk management, cybersecurity, software engineering, cloud security, IT auditing, or a first/1.5-line risk and control function within financial services or a major technology company.
  • Strong verbal and written communication skills with the ability to present complex technical risks clearly to senior stakeholders, combined with a strong delivery focus in a fast-paced environment.
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, Information Technology, or a related quantitative discipline.
