Description: Group Operations and Technology (O&T) provides IT and backroom support across the Bank's business such as Group Consumer Financial Services, Group Corporate Banking, Global Treasury, and corporate functions, e.g., Group Risk Management, Group Finance, and Group Human Resources. It supports regional operations and drives resilience, service quality, productivity, and responsible technology adoption across Singapore, Malaysia, and other markets.

Group O&T Risk & Prevention (R&P) provides independent risk governance, oversight, and advisory support to Group Operations & Technology. The team promotes a strong risk and compliance culture, supports effective implementation of operational risk and regulatory requirements, and oversees the identification, escalation, and timely resolution of key risks and control issues.

Role Description: An opportunity to take on a high-impact regional role at the centre of Risk & Prevention governance. The Regional GO&T Risk Manager will help shape a consistent, practical operating model across entities, bringing together Group requirements, local priorities and emerging operations, technology and third-party risk themes into one clear regional view. This role will directly influence how risk governance is strengthened across the rion.

Working closely with the Head, Governance and Third-Party Risks, and local R&P teams, the role will turn complex risk information into decision-ready insights, drive timely escalation and closure, and support stronger, more consistent execution across the region. This role is suitable for a collaborative risk professional who enjoys influencing across countries, improving governance discipline and helping senior stakeholders make confident, well-informed decisions.

Duties and Responsibilities: Lead the regional R&P governance framework, including governance forums, meeting cadence, reporting standards and action tracking across entities. Partner with the Head, Governance and Third-Party Risk to convert risk priorities, technical assessments, control challenges and regulatory themes into coordinated regional actions with clear owners, milestones and closure criteria.

Maintain a consolidated regional view of material risks, control gaps, audit and regulatory issues, incidents, risk acceptances, overdue actions and emerging themes across R&P. Drive consistent application of Group policies, standards, methodologies and minimum control expectations across entities, while ensuring justified local regulatory variations are documented, approved and visible. Coordinate regional implementation across local R&P teams, identify dependencies or execution gaps, and facilitate resolution without displacing local accountability.

Provide governance challenge on the quality of risk ratings, remediation plans, target dates, management information and closure evidence; refer specialist risk questions to the respective Head for Operations, Technology or Third-Party Risk. Prepare
