Risk & Controls Manager, VP

Join us as a Risk & Controls Manager 

• If you have a background in risk assessment, then join our team in helping to anticipate and assess the potential impacts of risk across the bank 

• We’ll look to you to proactively drive the assessment and implementation of risk framework and policy compliance and changes, converting these into appropriate strategies and action plans 

• 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 

• We're offering this role at vice president level 

What you'll do 

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

On top of this, you’ll be supporting a culture of proactive and pre-emptive risk management and continuous improvement, and the attainment of operational risk objectives. 

You’ll also be:  

• Achieving agreed service level standards and business unit satisfaction with service levels provided 

• Developing sector and specialist knowledge, as agreed with line management and leadership colleagues

It'll be ideal if you have experience in Oracle, SQL and Unix with the ability to identify risks and controls from a business process flow, as will be knowledge of COBIT, COSO, NIST and ISO 27000. Experience in CISA, CISSP, CRISC or ISO 27001 Lead Auditor certifications will be advantageous but isn’t essential. 

Additionally, you’ll need:  

• A good understanding of the relevant business and the risk and control environment 

• Financial and other risk analysis and problem-solving abilities
