At Metro Bank, we believe the best banking experience starts with people who genuinely care. We're not just delivering banking services - we're building trust through authentic connections.

Requirements

• Risk Management: A level of understanding of Risk Management Frameworks, Policies and Standards.
• Delivery: Experience in supporting the delivery of change, including tracking actions, maintaining project plans, and ensuring timely completion of milestones.

• Risk Awareness: Build expertise in non‑financial risks (Operational, Conduct, Compliance, Financial Crime) within change programmes.
• Adapt to Change: Adapt quickly to evolving priorities and regulatory requirements in a dynamic environment.

Benefits

• Competitive salary and discretionary annual bonus.
• Wide range of benefits including generous holiday allowance, attractive pension scheme, healthcare, life assurance, and a number of colleague discounts.
• Training to ensure you succeed in your role and plenty of internal opportunities to progress your career (around 40% of our recruitment comes from internal promotions).

Important Footnote: Diverse teams really are the best teams. We know that candidates (especially women, research tells us) may be put off applying for a job unless they can tick every box. We also know that 'normal' office hours aren't always doable, and while we can't accommodate every flexible working request we are happy to be asked. So if you are excited about working with us and think you can do much of what we are looking for but aren't sure if you are 100% there yet... why not give it a whirl? Please note that sometimes we may close a job earlier for applications if we are inundated with amazing candidates.

Good luck! #LI-Loveyourjobatlast #LI-Hybrid #LI-REMOTE
