IT Risk Manager

IT Risk Management – Hamburg

An established international business is looking to add a Manager of IT Risk to its team in Hamburg. This is a hands-on role for someone who can translate risk theory into practical, day-to-day discipline across a large IT organisation - building the frameworks, but also doing the follow-through work of making sure risks actually get addressed.

The role:

• Maintain a practical framework for identifying, tracking, and closing out IT-related risk.
• Keep risk categorisation and control standards consistent and well understood across teams.
• Turn scattered risk information into reporting leadership can act on.
• Follow up on open issues to make sure they have owners and get resolved, not just logged.
• Work with recovery planning colleagues so IT can bounce back quickly when things go wrong, in step with broader continuity plans.
• Sit alongside security, infrastructure, and delivery teams to flag risk early in projects rather than after the fact.
• Act as a go-to contact for stakeholders with risk-related questions.
• Support audits and regulatory reviews, making sure documentation holds up to scrutiny.

What you'll need:

• Around 3+ years focused specifically on IT risk, operational risk, or continuity work, within a longer overall IT career (5+ years total).
• A degree in a relevant field, or equivalent experience built on the job.
• Practical knowledge of recognised risk/control frameworks and continuity or disaster recovery standards.
• Exposure to ITIL-based ways of working.
• Comfortable operating in international, cross-functional settings.
• Strong written and verbal communication, including with senior stakeholders.
• A methodical, detail-focused working style.
• Fluent English.
