AEON Bank WP. Kuala Lumpur, Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

The Senior Manager, Information & Technology Risk (“SM”) is a managerial role responsible for leading the development, implementation, and oversight of the Bank’s cybersecurity and technology risk management framework. This role ensures compliance with regulatory requirements (e.g., BNM RMiT), drives cyber resilience initiatives, and manages risk assessments across technology domains. The incumbent will work closely with internal stakeholders, regulators, and third parties to safeguard critical systems and data, ensuring operational integrity and regulatory alignment. The role requires strong leadership, deep technical risk expertise, and the ability to balance security, innovation, and business needs.

In addition, the SM also plays a key role in identifying, assessing, and mitigating cyber and operational risks within their scope. This includes active engagement in risk governance processes related to technology operations oversight and reporting.

  • BAU transition and governance : Once systems are implemented, manage transition to business‑as‑usual (BAU) operations with clear ownership, monitoring, and reporting mechanisms.
  • Project Oversight & Regulatory Engagement

  • Project governance : Ensure timely delivery of cybersecurity and risk‑related initiatives, escalating any issues that may delay compliance or increase risk exposure.
  • Regulatory interaction : Liaise with regulators on all matters concerning tech risk, cybersecurity, data governance, and incident response, ensuring the Bank’s positions and capabilities are clearly articulated and defensible.
