  • Assess and mitigate risks in support of the control and governance agenda.
  • Exhibit leadership and accountability in managing risks and enhancing controls related to your team's responsibilities.
  • Demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of organizational functions to contribute to the achievement of business objectives.
  • Engage with other business areas to stay informed about business activities and strategies.
  • Develop solutions based on advanced analytical thinking, comparing and selecting complex alternatives. In-depth analysis and interpretative thinking will be essential to define challenges and create innovative solutions.
  • Incorporate the results of extensive research into problem-solving processes.
  • Establish and maintain trusting relationships and partnerships with internal and external stakeholders to achieve key business objectives, utilizing influencing and negotiation skills to secure desired outcomes.
All employees are expected to embody the Barclays Values of Respect, Integrity, Service, Excellence, and Stewardship, which guide our ethical conduct. They are also expected to demonstrate the Barclays Mindset - to Empower, Challenge, and Drive - which serves as our operational framework.
