• Provide status updates and manage delivery risks effectively.
• Identify, assess, and manage risks and issues to minimize impact, escalating when necessary.

To succeed, you should have:
• An understanding of Non-Financial Risk, with experience in 1st and 2nd Line of Defence roles preferred.
• Knowledge of MSS products, analytical skills, and problem-solving ability.
• Project management skills, including managing workgroups and change initiatives.
