• Consolidate testing results and develop clear, risk‑based reporting and key control indicators
• Advise IT delivery teams and control owners on control design, documentation and remediation activities
• Coordinate and respond to second‑ and third‑line requests, including audits and reviews
• Contribute to the continuous improvement of control testing and monitoring practices
