About Us
The Financial Ombudsman Service is an independent, not-for-profit organisation that plays a vital role in UK financial services. Every day we help resolve disputes between consumers, or small businesses, and their financial service providers. At the Financial Ombudsman Service, we make decisions on a range of complex and difficult issues. Every year we resolve hundreds of thousands of disputes between consumers or small businesses and their financial service providers – and if we believe a customer hasn't been treated fairly, we can step in to put things right.
The purpose of the role
As a Governance and Oversight Specialist, you will play a pivotal role in supporting the Head of Governance and Oversight to drive strategic governance, performance and target setting assurance, and operational insight across the Operational Planning and Performance function.
You will contribute to the design, implementation, and continuous improvement and adherence of governance frameworks, performance reporting, target setting, casework tools and decision-making structures that underpin service excellence and operational resilience. Your work will directly inform senior leadership, enabling data-driven decisions and fostering a culture of accountability and continuous improvement.
