Job Summary

We are looking for an experienced Information Technology Risk Officer with a strong background in operational risk management within the BPO or Shared Services industry. The ideal candidate will focus on first-line operational risks, risk assessments, root cause analysis (RCA), operational risk events, and control effectiveness across multiple lines of business.

Note: This role focuses on operational risk management, not IT risk operations or cybersecurity risk. Candidates should have hands-on experience managing operational risks, implementing controls, and driving corrective and preventive actions.

Key Responsibilities

  • Establish, assess, monitor, and report operational risks, including systemic operational risks, across business operations.

  • Conduct root cause analysis (RCA), investigate operational risk events, and perform risk assessments to identify control gaps and process weaknesses.

  • Develop, implement, and monitor remedial action plans to mitigate identified risks and prevent recurrence.

  • Provide oversight to ensure consistent implementation of risk controls across multiple lines of business.

  • Monitor compliance with contractual risk requirements, internal policies, operational standards, and regulatory expectations.

  • Investigate security incidents and support Ombuds-related investigations, as required.

  • Build and maintain strong relationships with internal stakeholders, clients, and business leaders to support effective risk management.

  • Act as a key point of contact for the risk management framework and business risk profile, providing guidance and recommendations.

  • Support compliance with ISO 27001 and applicable standards, including PCI-DSS, SSAE, and HIPAA requirements.

  • Maintain awareness of data privacy regulations and ensure appropriate controls are implemented across operations.

  • Participate in location-level crisis management forums, communicate emerging risks, and provide relevant updates to delivery leaders.

  • Identify opportunities for continuous improvement, operational efficiency, and stronger risk governance.

  • Partner with leadership to align risk management activities with business priorities and operational objectives.

Qualifications and Requirements

  • College graduate in any relevant discipline.

  • At least 5–6 years of relevant experience as a Risk Officer within the BPO or Shared Services industry.

  • Strong understanding of operational risk management, risk controls, risk assessments, and mitigation strategies.

  • Hands-on experience in root cause analysis (RCA), operational risk events, and corrective action planning.

  • Good understanding of business operations, quality processes, and control effectiveness.

  • Excellent analytical, problem-solving, decision-making, and influencing skills.

  • Strong interpersonal and stakeholder management abilities.

  • Proficiency in Microsoft Excel and PowerPoint.

  • Strong cross-cultural awareness and sensitivity.

  • Prior exposure to compliance and security-related activities is preferred.

  • Exposure to Voice or Collections lines of business is an advantage.

  • Ability to work independently, exercise sound judgment, and identify solutions when established procedures are unavailable.

  • Willingness to work 100% onsite in Eton Centris, Quezon City, on a shifting schedule.

  • Available to start immediately.

Important Candidate Screening Note: Do not submit candidates whose experience is primarily in IT risk operations or cybersecurity risk. Prioritize operational risk professionals with hands-on experience in first-line risk management, RCA, operational risk events, risk assessments, and business process controls.
