As well as this, you will be responsible for embedding risk culture into the business by adopting an approachable and problem-solving approach to stakeholders, and being involved in strategic projects.

The position will offer wide exposure to C-Suite executives and the Trustee Board who are very active within the business and there is an expectation to regularly present at executive level. Therefore stakeholder influencing is essential to this position.

Background Requirements:

  • Significant Operational Risk Experience within a regulatory environment (This must include significant experience of setting up operational risk frameworks)
  • In depth understanding of risk management best practice
  • Dealing with Risk Events and Operational Risk Reporting
  • Significant Experience working within an operational risk role within the financial services industry
