Job Description

Join us as a Risk & Controls Manager. Join us as part of our exciting new Arago 2.0 Programme, established to support the bank in achieving our ambition to return to green on data Risk by end of 2026. We’ll look to you to proactively drive the assessment and implementation of the data risk framework and DMOP policy compliance and changes, converting these into appropriate strategies and action plans. You will work in the BCBS239 workstream as part of Arago 2.0, delivering an improved compliance approach and enhancing our scores reported to the regulator. In this highly collaborative role, you’ll have an ideal platform for building your network and advancing your career, while helping to create a safer environment for the bank.

What you'll do

Arago 2.0 is structured across a number of key capabilities and workstreams to mitigate data risk, such as:

1. Data Management Maturity, which will establish maturity across our data quality issue management strategy.
2. Integrated Data Management Platform, developing a single platform that enables improved and secure data access.
3. Data Control by Design, delivering an uplift in data architecture and data management standards integrated into a single view of our control environment.
4. BCBS239, delivering an uplifted BCBS239 framework with clear next steps to improve compliance.

You’ll have the responsibility of supporting management in their identification and assessment of material data risks, and in determining their position relative to agreed appetites. Working with senior stakeholders across the bank, you’ll look to drive forward the development and delivery of remedial action plans where risks are considered out of appetite.

Additionally, you’ll support a culture of proactive and pre-emptive risk management and continuous improvement, aiming to meet operational risk objectives. Your responsibilities will include:

• Analyzing risk reporting and metrics used to inform decision-making.
• Coaching and supporting colleagues across the bank to improve understanding and embed a proactive data risk culture.
• Educating teams on the data risk framework and wider enterprise risk management policies and regulatory obligations, supporting the business in operating and embedding them.
• Supporting and engaging with stakeholders, including second and third lines of defense and functional risk teams.
• Ensuring stakeholder satisfaction by delivering risk and control actions promptly.

The skills you'll need

We’re looking for a highly skilled leader with experience in applying risk and control management in both operational and strategic contexts. You should also bring:

• Strong knowledge of data risk management.
• Experience leading risk governance teams.
• Knowledge of BCBS239 is not essential but is a plus.
• A track record of active management and oversight of data risk.
