The biggest challenge
The biggest challenge for this role is balancing rapid tech innovation with strict regulatory compliance while managing senior stakeholder expectations. Because bol operates a massive retail platform at high speed, you must successfully translate heavy frameworks like NIS2, DORA, and the AI Act into actionable controls without slowing down product teams or creating operational bottlenecks. The real difficulty lies in having the professional weight and diplomacy to act as a trusted advisor who can independently push back on senior leadership, challenge their risk assessments, and drive formal risk acceptance processes rather than letting them take the easy way out.
What you’ll do as Senior Tech & Data Risk Manager
As an expert within the organization, you provide data-driven insights into tech, cyber, and data risks, strengthening risk-based decision-making across all tech, data, and product domains. You drive a structured risk management cycle to enhance the maturity of the Tech & Data Risk Management frameworks, while enabling teams to identify, assess, and mitigate risks proactively. Furthermore, you continuously improve and embed risk processes, taxonomies, and reporting into the organization's daily operations.
In this role, you act as a trusted advisor to senior stakeholders and leadership teams on Tech & Data Risk Management frameworks. You engage closely with senior management to ensure clear visibility of key risks and drive formal risk acceptance processes. In doing so, you provide independent challenge and oversight on both risk assessment outcomes and risk acceptance decisions. To support senior leadership and governance oversight, you develop and deliver high-quality risk insights and reports.
On the regulatory front, you translate complex regulations such as NIS2, GDPR, DORA, and the AI Act into actionable controls and policies, ensuring the organization maintains constant readiness for regulatory inspections and supervisory expectations. Ultimately, you help shape the future of risk management within a fast-moving tech organization. You don’t just assess risks; you raise the bar for how they are managed.
Why you can make a difference
You make a difference by moving away from traditional, checkbox risk management and instead raising the bar for how tech, cyber, and data risks are managed across complex tech and product domains. Leveraging your deep expertise in cloud environments, microservices, and modern DevOps ways of working, you will translate complex regulations like DORA, NIS2, and the EU AI Act into practical, actionable policies that teams can easily embed into their daily operations. By acting as a highly trusted advisor, you provide the necessary independent challenge to senior management, guiding them through formal risk acceptance processes and driving data-driven, risk-based decision-making that ensures the platform remains both cutting-edge and fully secure.
