Description

The Asia Pacific Technology Management Office (APAC TMO) ensures Global Technology is appropriately represented, governed and accountable at regional and location level across APAC. The function supports Technology Operating Committees, Senior Technology Officers (STOs) and senior business stakeholders, and plays a critical role in technology governance, regulatory engagement and legal entity oversight.

Tech Risk and Controls Lead, Hong Kong Location Governance is a senior individual contributor role within APAC TMO, reporting to the APAC Regional and Location Technology Governance Lead. The role provides end‑to‑end ownership of technology governance activities for Hong Kong legal entities, with particular accountability for outsourcing oversight, technology inventories, executive reporting and regulatory engagement, and serves as a trusted adviser to the Hong Kong Senior Technology Officer and Technology Operating Committee.

This role requires a hands‑on, detail‑oriented leader who is equally comfortable leading at a strategic governance level and personally driving detailed delivery, including deep involvement in process analysis, workflow simplification, automation initiatives and data quality remediation. The successful candidate will not delegate complexity away, but will actively engage in designing, challenging and implementing practical solutions while maintaining senior‑level oversight and judgement.

In addition to Hong Kong location responsibilities, the role will actively support APAC Regional Production governance and oversight, a key priority for the APAC CIO across APAC Global Technology. The successful candidate will work closely with APAC GT Production Leadership to drive the region's three core focus areas, providing hands‑on support across project governance, targeted deep dives and execution discipline. This includes helping run a weekly APAC production management forum, maintaining a detailed understanding of the regional change management calendar, and supplying leadership with clear, timely insights to support decision‑making, prioritization and risk management.
