In this role, you will act as the End-to-End owner of the RCM process, ensuring a consistent, standardised, and high-quality approach to regulatory change across the entire bank. You will provide expert advice on prudential regulation, coordinate with key stakeholders, and ensure that the bank’s regulatory gaps are closed effectively and on time.

The role requires close collaboration with other departments across Client Units, Risk, Finance, Legal, and Compliance, especially where expert input is required.

As a Regulatory Change Advisor in the Regulatory Change Management team, your role is structured around four key priorities:

1. End-to-End Regulatory Change Management Ownership

• Act as the owner of the bank-wide Regulatory Change Management process.
• Coordinate and oversee the full RCM lifecycle.
• Ensure clear accountability for closing regulatory gaps.
• Safeguard consistency and quality.

2. Regulatory Horizon Scanning & PInterpretation

Working environment

The Regulatory Risk & Transformation (RR&T) department is a new function established to execute the mandate of the Regulatory Committee, divided into the following four teams/topics:

• Regulatory Supervisory Relations
• Regulatory Change Management
• Regulatory Findings Management
• Regulatory Risk Oversight

The RCM team is directly contributing to the department’s mission to strengthen the bank’s regulatory compliance framework and foster a proactive approach to managing regulatory risks. The teams will need to collaborate closely on many topics and may need to form ad- hoc task forces to deal with certain priority issues.

Your profile

You are a proactive, analytical, and detail-oriented professional with a background in non-financial risk management. You thrive in environments that require strategic thinking and cross-functional collaboration. You are able to drive process improvements, ensure compliance, and manage complex stakeholder dynamics.
