IRM Specialist (ServiceNow) – Lead the uplift of a major financial services IRM platform

Talent is partnering with one of our leading financial services clients to find an IRM Specialist who can take ownership of the ServiceNow Integrated Risk Management capability.

You’ll assess the current implementation, close the gaps, and drive the refresh needed for stronger adoption, clearer reporting, and tighter controls aligned to external standards.

What you’ll be doing:

• Owning the ServiceNow IRM capability end-to-end, from current-state assessment through to roadmap and delivery
• Identifying gaps in the existing implementation and leading the uplift required to drive adoption
• Improving reporting and control effectiveness in line with external standards
• Directing how risk challenges should be solved within ServiceNow IRM, not just configuring to spec
• Partnering with stakeholders across the business to shape the IRM roadmap
• Mobilising AI capabilities to improve risk processes and controls
• Managing work intake and coordinating delivery across onshore and offshore partners
• Ensuring the platform matures in a sustainable, fit-for-purpose way

What you’ll bring:

• Deep, specialist knowledge of ServiceNow IRM modules (A Must)
• A track record of refreshing or uplifting existing IRM implementations and driving adoption where platforms have been under-used
• Experience leading an IRM stream end-to-end: roadmap, work intake, offshore coordination, delivery
• Strong understanding of external standards, controls, and reporting expectations (financial services experience helpful but not essential)
• Credibility at all levels of the organisation, with the confidence to challenge constructively
• Comfort moving between strategic direction-setting and hands-on configuration

Why join:

• Help reshape risk management at a long-established, transforming financial services institution
• Work at the intersection of strategy and hands-on delivery, with real influence over platform direction
• Partner directly with senior stakeholders and sit close to executive decision-making
• Join a business putting AI at the forefront of how risk and controls work gets done
• A lean, flexible environment where good ideas get airtime and you won’t have to fit a mould
