Monitoring and assurance

• Execute risk based second line monitoring and assurance across priority risks, controls and locations.
• Support Material Risk Reviews, bowtie or health checks, Business Integrity risk assessments and other control effectiveness reviews.
• Document evidence based findings, agree actions with accountable leaders and follow remediation through to sustainable closure.

Response, remediation and insight

• Support triage, investigations and incident response where local knowledge or subject matter input is required, preserving confidentiality and appropriate legal privilege.
• Analyse incidents, assurance findings and recurring issues to identify root causes, emerging risks and opportunities to improve controls, processes and learning.
• Prepare concise risk insights and recommendations for Commercial and Group Services governance forums.

Collaboration and improvement

• Work across central Areas of Expertise, Legal, Risk & Insurance, Group Internal Audit, People, Commercial and operational teams to coordinate advice and assurance.
• Contribute to global simplification, technology enablement, data quality and continuous-improvement initiatives.
• Share practice and support consistent application of the E&C framework across the team.

• Strong experience in Ethics & Compliance, regulatory risk, assurance, investigations, legal risk or a related field within a complex organisation.
• Five years practical experience and working knowledge of business integrity risks and controls, including anti-bribery and corruption, third-party risk, conflicts, benefits, fraud, sanctions and speak-up processes.
• Experience assessing control design and operating effectiveness and preparing clear findings and remediation actions.
• Sound judgement, personal integrity and the confidence to provide constructive challenge on sensitive issues.
• Strong stakeholder management, facilitation, analytical and written communication skills.
• The ability to work independently across multiple priorities, locations and time zones.
