• Process optimization: Simplify end-to-end risk and control processes, remove inefficiencies, and improve turnaround times and quality of outputs.
• Digital & analytics enablement: Partner with data/technology teams to improve workflow, automation and analytics; explore responsible use of emerging technology (including GenAI) to strengthen control monitoring and reporting.
• Regulatory and emerging risk awareness: Contribute to regulatory change and emerging risk discussions (e.g., cyber, third-party, operational resilience, climate, AI risk) and ensure implications are reflected in the framework.
• Escalation & issue resolution: Escalate material risks, control weaknesses or delivery blockers through appropriate channels and drive timely closure.

To be successful, you will:

• Minimum 10 years of experience in risk management (Operational Risk, Regulatory Compliance, Audit) in Banking or Financial Services.

• Delivery-focused and pragmatic; able to simplify complex requirements into workable solutions.
• Strong analytical skills to spot trends, identify root causes and convert data into actionable insight
• Hands-on experience using AI tools, automation, and analytics to improve risk/control work (e.g., control documentation, MI automation, issue triage, control monitoring), with strong discipline around evidence and audit trails.
• A “responsible AI” mindset—you understand model risk, data privacy, information security, and conduct expectations, and you know how to put sensible guardrails in place (human checks, validation, access controls).
