Senior Manager, Cybersecurity - TPRM, Financial Services

Want to be part of an already market leading Cyber Practice?

EY are looking for an TPRM Senior Manager to help drive and shape the next wave in our development. Are you up for the challenge?

Cyber security and its related challenges are a rapidly growing field. As such, the opportunities for careers in cyber security are also growing.

Moreover, the proliferation of technological advances including disruptive technologies and digital are compounding the pressures of maintaining competitiveness, being adaptable and increasing profit margins.
