Senior Manager in PwC's Financial Services Technology Risk & Resilience team leading large, complex engagements to help FS clients manage technology risk, regulatory expectations and resilience. You will design technology risk operating models, control frameworks and assurance approaches, and support clients with regulatory drivers such as DORA and CP17/24. The role involves business development, thought leadership and people development while advising across the three lines of defence and integrating with TPRM, Operational Resilience and data teams.
About the role
We’re one of the world’s leading professional services organisations. Across 158 countries, we help our clients — from global enterprises to fast‑growing private businesses — create, protect and enhance the value that matters most to them.
Risk is constantly evolving, and today’s environment makes it harder than ever to predict new challenges. But with disruption comes opportunity. We help organisations transform, innovate and strengthen every part of their business — from people to performance, systems to strategy — through our insight and independent assurance.
Disruption driven by technology, regulation and wider market forces is creating significant change across organisations. Our Risk Line of Service helps clients identify and manage these risks, bringing together specialists in regulation, cyber security, controls, actuarial, listings, accounting and internal audit.
Our Financial Services Technology Risk & Resilience team supports FS firms in navigating a fast‑moving regulatory landscape while building robust, future‑proof technology estates. We help shape digital resilience frameworks under UK and EU regulation, enhance technology‑risk maturity, and prepare firms for licence applications or listings.
We work across all three lines of defence to uplift standards and control frameworks, transform technology‑risk operating models and deliver control assurance.
What your days will look like:
As a Senior Manager in our Financial Services Technology Risk & Resilience team, you’ll help FS clients tackle both legacy and emerging technology risks in a fast‑growing part of our practice. You’ll lead large, complex engagements, contribute to thought leadership, build strong client relationships and play a key role in developing our people.
You’ll support clients to modernise and future‑proof their technology risk and resilience capabilities, including designing strategic operating models and deploying fit‑for‑purpose tools and platforms.
You’ll bring deep understanding of FS technology‑risk and resilience challenges shaped by regulatory scrutiny, customer expectations and legacy environments. Knowledge of regulatory drivers such as DORA and CP17/24, and frameworks like COBIT, ITIL and NIST, will enable you to help clients enhance their risk management and overall resilience.
Strong consulting or advisory experience in financial services is essential, ideally combining client delivery and business development, or equivalent in‑house experience within an FS organisation.
