IT Risk Management Manager-Internal/External-Re-advertised
Shabelle Bank SCAbout This Role
This role places you at the center of Shabelle Bank’s digital defense, blending oversight of cybersecurity threats with the practical management of banking systems. It suits a professional who thrives on both strategic framework-building and hands-on risk assessment, particularly within a regional bank undergoing digital expansion. Based in Jijiga, the position offers a unique opportunity to shape IT risk culture in a growing financial institution serving the Somali region.
What the Requirements Say About This Role
The employer is seeking a candidate who can bridge technical auditing with operational risk management, not just a pure security specialist. The emphasis on experience across internal and external risk contexts suggests they value someone who has seen both sides of the compliance table. Likely they expect familiarity with banking regulations, data protection standards, and the ability to translate technical vulnerabilities into business impact for non-technical leadership.
How to Approach This Application
When applying, demonstrate how you’ve previously built or refined a risk management framework in a financial or regulated environment. Highlight any experience with business continuity planning and cross-departmental collaboration, as the role involves coordinating with audit, compliance, and IT teams. Prepare to discuss a specific example where you identified a significant IT risk and successfully drove mitigation across multiple stakeholders.
Who This Role Suits
This role is best suited for an IT risk or cybersecurity professional with 5-8 years of experience who wants to lead a function rather than be a solo contributor. Competition will be moderate given the specialized nature and location, making it a strong opportunity for candidates with regional ties or willingness to relocate.
