We have a great opportunity for a Risk Assurance Manager to join our second line of defence Operational Risk team. The Society is embarking on an exciting period of significant transformational change, and your role will be to provide risk oversight for the portfolio.

About the role

Role responsibilities include:

  • Working with the programmes to ensure risks are identified, assessed, managed.
  • Undertaking regular and frequent ‘continuous monitoring’ reviews of programme risks, providing prompt and timely feedback to the programme teams
  • Planning and delivering ‘deep dive’ reviews to provide assurance to the Executive Risk Committee and Board Risk Committee that the programmes will complete on time, to the required quality, within budget and deliver their benefits.
  • Working with colleagues in the Risk division to ensure risks arising from programmes are properly escalated.
  • Liaising with colleagues in the first and third lines of defence to share findings.
