Join EY and contribute to building a better working world. We are seeking a skilled Manager – Platform Governance to oversee governance processes, controls, and compliance for enterprise platforms vital to data products and corporate finance transformation. This role integrates platform governance, risk coordination, and team leadership to ensure secure, reliable, and well-controlled platform services.

The ideal candidate will collaborate with platform engineering, operations, security, architecture, and business teams to implement practical governance across services supporting key finance functions like P2P, O2C, R2R, and FP&A. You will be responsible for coordinating governance reviews, maintaining control and exception records, and monitoring adherence to standards, all while supporting audit readiness within your designated platform scope. Your efforts will empower delivery teams to meet governance requirements and ensure the escalation of unresolved risks to the appropriate decision-makers.

Key responsibilities include maintaining the platform governance framework, control inventory, and review calendar in line with enterprise policies. You will translate approved policies into practical control requirements and evidence expectations for platform lifecycles. Coordinating governance reviews for new services and changes, tracking approvals, and managing control gaps will be crucial. Maintaining platform inventories with accountable owners and coordinating periodic access reviews are also essential tasks. Additionally, you will administer policy exceptions and risk registers, ensuring proper documentation and approvals. This role involves planning risk-based review activities, coordinating self-assessments, tracking and reporting control coverage, and managing remediation plans. Partnering with security, privacy, legal, and data governance teams to map obligations to controls is also a core function. Furthermore, you will lead a team of governance analysts, foster a culture of accountability, manage capacity, and coach team members on various governance aspects. Collaboration with finance, architecture, engineering, and operations teams to clarify ownership and resolve gaps is expected. You will also facilitate governance forums, prepare decision papers, and communicate governance status and risks clearly to stakeholders. Finally, standardizing reusable control checklists and exploring automation for control monitoring are key to continuous improvement.

Technical expertise in at least one major cloud platform (Azure, AWS, or GCP) and its governance capabilities is essential, along with an understanding of enterprise platform services, cloud infrastructure, and data platforms. Experience with control inventories, risk and exception registers, and GRC or IT service management tools is expected.
