We are currently recruiting for an Head of Governance and Information Technology for RSA in our European entity on a hybrid basis.
Your role
As the Head of Governance and Information Technology RSA Luxembourg will oversee and guide several key areas. 95% of RSAL’s technology is supplied by RSA UK, governed through a Managed Service Agreement (MSA), which falls under the responsibility of the Head of Governance and IT RSAL. This role involves identifying and assessing risks across all aspects of RSAL’s IT, tracking and reporting key risks to senior management, and supporting groupwide control validation, including compliance with IT general controls such as Canadian NI 52-109.
Additionally, your role involves monitoring regulatory requirements across RSAL’s operating geographies to ensure compliance with relevant IT regulations. The Head of Governance and IT RSAL is responsible for managing locally owned systems, applications, and tools, as well as overseeing local IT infrastructure, including laptops, desk equipment, and printers. This position also ensures compliance with both Group and locally owned policies by managing their creation and enforcement.
Good communication skills are essential for achieving success, as your role requires collaboration with an executive team across multiple geographies and therefore some travel may be required. The ability to provide clear, pragmatic recommendations for risk treatment and remediation is essential to protecting RSA’s systems and reducing exposure to potential risks.
About you
You will have a good background in risk management and IT controls within large organizations. As a subject matter specialist within CIO, you will have extensive experience with control frameworks, IT regulatory compliance (e.g., SOX, Canadian NI 52-109), and a solid understanding of the regulatory environment across RSAL’s operating geographies, including Luxembourg, Spain, the Netherlands, and France. Your knowledge will also extend to EU-wide regulations such as DORA, which impact the governance and delivery of IT environments.
You will be skilled in coaching and overseeing control validation reviews conducted by external suppliers (RSA UK) to ensure compliance with validation plans, including 52-109 reviews. Additionally, you will play a key role in shaping and influencing risk management strategies, working closely with broader IT risk stakeholders at RSAL to implement effective risk management approaches at a larger scale.
