  • You'll work closely with Risk and business stakeholders to project manage change activity required as a result of the EWRMF
  • You'll oversee scenarios and Top & Emerging Threats activities across C&I, driving a data-led approach to scenario and threat risk management

What you'll do

You'll demonstrate risk leadership and advocacy, supporting a culture of systematic and pre-emptive risk management and continuous improvement, and the attainment of risk objectives. You'll also ensure multiple programmes of work provide consistent delivery across several diverse business areas.

On top of this, you'll demonstrate:

  • Excellent working knowledge of the EWRMF and how it supports the management of risk
  • Experience working to deliver complex projects, and experience applying risk and control management in an operational and strategic context
  • Knowledge of project management methodologies
  • The ability to leverage data and AI to understand and assess risk exposure
