The IT Risk Analyst, IT Risk Operations is a judgment-driven role responsible for reviewing, interpreting, and acting on risk signals produced by BMS's automated risk assessment infrastructure. As BMS transitions to a more automated operating model — where structured tiering, continuous monitoring, and integrated assessment frameworks handle intake and classification — the analyst's focus shifts decisively toward review, challenge, exception handling, and stakeholder engagement.

It is an analytical and advisory role where sound risk judgment, clear communication, and accountability for final risk determinations are the core expectations.

Risk Review & Judgment

Review and validate risk determinations produced through BMS's integrated risk assessment framework, including Cyber Tier assignments (Tiers 0–5), regulatory classifications (GDPR, EU AI Act, GxP, etc.), and control recommendations across 9 risk domains

Apply independent analytical judgment to accept, challenge, or override system-generated risk outputs; document rationale clearly in ServiceNow (SNOW) for all override decisions

Identify missing context, ambiguous scope, or inconsistencies between risk outputs and known project characteristics; engage project teams to resolve gaps before closing records

Interpret and communicate risk signals and outputs in clear, stakeholder-facing language — translating technical determinations into actionable guidance without relying on raw tier scores or regulatory jargon

Own exception handling for edge cases, novel technology types, cross-jurisdictional complexity, and cases where risk assessments indicate insufficient or ambiguous input

Escalate material discrepancies to Risk Leads, BISOs, or Privacy SMEs with documented rationale; serve as the first line of analytical accountability for the risk record





Support periodic review of auto-approved projects, identifying patterns or anomalies that warrant re-evaluation

Lead or participate in structured touchpoints with project teams, informing them of assessment status, applicable controls, and required documentation

Serve as a point of contact for project team questions about risk outputs; translate technical risk determinations into clear, actionable guidance

Collaborate with Legal/Privacy SMEs (DPIA, TIA, SCC workflows) at defined handoff points to ensure risk findings are correctly consumed downstream

Prepare concise, high-quality assessment summaries and control attestations for management and compliance audiences

Support internal and external audit activities by clearly articulating the basis for risk determinations and the human review actions that followed

Identify patterns in override rates, exception types, and assessment flags that may indicate framework gaps or emerging risk themes

Apply a continuous improvement mindset to enhance assessment quality, SLA performance, and the overall stakeholder experience

Qualifications & Experience

- 3–5 years of experience in IT risk management, cybersecurity risk, IT audit, privacy compliance, or a directly related field
- Demonstrated ability to interpret and act on risk outputs or signals — not just execute process steps — with a clear track record of sound analytical judgment
- Working knowledge of NIST Cyber Risk Management Framework and NIST 800-53 controls library
- Familiarity with major data privacy regulations (GDPR, CCPA, EU AI Act, GxP)
- Experience with GRC platforms (ServiceNow GRC or equivalent)
- ability to explain risk determinations clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences




- Experience with pre/post-implementation risk assessments, cybersecurity, data privacy, and/or digital transformation initiatives

Exposure to AI/ML risk assessment frameworks or emerging technology risk

Experience working in automated or tool-assisted workflow environments

Solid analytical and risk judgment instincts — comfortable forming a defensible view from incomplete information

Collaborative across IT, Legal, Privacy, and Business functions

Comfortable working with system-generated risk signals and outputs rather than manually gathering inputs
