Work closely with the Global Head of RC Change & Digital Enablement to ensure that Surveillance Product management priorities and deliveries are aligned to Surveillance Strategic Objectives.
  • Provide leadership and support in engagements with regulators, Internal Audit, external auditors and consultants, Compliance Assurance and Independent Model Review (IMR) in order to ensure Surveillance's control framework is effectively maintained and continuously enhanced.
  • Lead and manage a team of three onshore SME and five offshore SMEs, with a particular focus on supporting team-members professional development.
