Senior Manager, TPRM, Cyber Security, Financial Services

Want to be part of an already market leading Cyber Practice? 

EY are looking for an TPRM Senior Manager to help drive and shape the next 
wave in our development. Are you up for the challenge?

Cyber security and its related challenges are a rapidly growing field. As such, 
the opportunities for careers in cyber security are also growing. Securing an 
organisation against cyber threats is a business priority to enable growth and 
successful digital transformation and we are at the heart of many of these 
conversations and projects.

EY is rapidly expanding its cyber security consulting practice to further support these exiting opportunities. 

The financial services industry is currently undergoing a period of unparalleled 
change. Since the financial crisis, banks and financial institutions have been 
subjected to more stringent regulations, increased supervision and overall 
global economic instability. These changes have not come without a cost and 
has made these institutions re-evaluate the way they have been doing business 
traditionally. Moreover, the proliferation of technological advances including 
disruptive technologies and digital are compounding the pressures of 
maintaining competitiveness, being adaptable and increasing profit margins.

working world for all.
