Key Responsibilities:

  • Support the development of the annual review plan in compliance with regulatory requirements, developing the risk-based second-line annual risk assurance plan and maintaining monthly oversight of risk assurance activity against the plan.
  • Support the UK Risk Committee by gathering documentation and information from risk registers and the business to support the preparation of the Committee risk pack. Attend and minute the UK Risk Committee, recording actions, decisions, and steers, and follow up on actions ahead of the next quarterly Committee to ensure updates are available from the business.

Ensure ongoing monitoring of all KRI's and KPI's and support the Risk Assurance Manager in ensuring all UK regulatory and contractual requirements are met.

Other Responsibilities:

  • Test the operational effectiveness and key controls, including but not limited to sampling of 1st-line checks.
  • Provide proactive support and guidance to the business to enhance the design of key business controls in order to efficiently manage risk exposures identified.
  • Act as the local communications champion for risk, ensuring regular and effective two-way communications between risk assurance and key stakeholders, including Operations, Contact Centre, Finance, HR, and IT.
