- Ensure all material risks are identified, captured, and appropriately assessed, with robust controls in place.
- Maintain accurate and up‑to‑date records in the Risk Open Pages system, including rationale for ratings and evidence of reassessment.
- Ensure Issues and Action Plans are in place for open material events or risks outside appetite.
- Oversee closure of Change related action plans, ensuring issues are fully addressed and documented.
- Contribute to the development of control testing strategies and implementation of risk management processes.
- Identify systemic Change Execution issues and propose enhancements to strengthen the control environment.
The successful candidate will drive Continuous Improvement in Change Execution control design, automation, and operational resilience, leveraging data analytics and emerging technologies.

- Experience in operational risk management, preferably within financial services or a regulated environment.
- Strong understanding of risk frameworks (e.g. RCSA), control environments, and regulatory requirements.
- Knowledge of non-financial risk types relevant to CIB (e.g. conduct, economic crime, data, resilience).
- Familiarity with Control by Design (CbD) methodology.
- Proven ability to analyse complex data, identify trends, and drive action, draw data-driven insights and root cause analysis.
- Experience with risk reporting tools (e.g. Power BI) and risk management systems.
- Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills for reporting, influencing and engagement.
