RISK AND CONTROLS MANAGER – UK LISTED BUSINESS

CENTRAL LONDON

A well-known international listed business based in Central London is looking for a proactive Risk and Controls Manager to join their team. Reporting to the Head of Group Finance, you will be responsible for implementing a robust risk structure and ensuring compliance across the risk and controls landscape. This will include taking ownership of corporate governance, playing a crucial role in delivering effective risk management, and executing the internal control strategy.

In this role, you will ensure that adequate controls are in place to address operational, compliance, and financial risks, while embedding a culture of strong controls throughout the business. You will work closely with business heads to identify and assess risk exposure, making sure appropriate measures are in place to mitigate potential issues. You will also contribute significantly to the risk section of the Annual Report and draft and prepare board materials as required.

A key part of your role will be contributing to the roadmap for compliance with UK corporate governance reform in relation to internal controls. You will collaborate with third parties to implement strategies that ensure IT controls are thoroughly documented and effective. Additionally, you will work with regional finance teams to identify control gaps and develop plans for remediation and implementation, enhancing controls documentation and policies along the way.

You will also drive a strong controls culture by leading workshops and engaging with the business to foster awareness and understanding. Due to the broad nature of the role, you can expect to be involved in various ad hoc and special projects, such as identifying climate-related risks to ensure compliance with relevant regulations and implementing a new enterprise GRC platform.

The ideal candidate will be a qualified accountant with a strong background in risk and controls, ideally combining experience gained both in practice and in industry (such as internal audit). You will have the ability to develop a comprehensive risk strategy and produce and maintain accurate risk registers. Solid understanding of SOX is helpful ideally including documentation, evidence gathering, and testing.

You should be a confident communicator with excellent written and verbal skills, meticulous attention to detail, and a natural ability to drive continuous improvement. You will thrive in a small, focused team and be comfortable interacting with senior stakeholders at the highest level.

This is a fantastic opportunity to take on a broad and varied role within an international and growing business, gaining a deep understanding of the risk and controls landscape and knowledge of the business.
