A bit about the job:

You will support the Group Operational Risk team in bedding in risk methodologies, seeking opportunities and making recommendations over how these can be made more effective and efficient in enabling the business more broadly to understand and manage (rather than simply administer) their Operational Risks and controls.

• Experience and understanding of Operational Risk management practices within financial services and the wider related regulatory environment would be an advantage, but we are also happy to see fresh graduates with some level of exposure to Operational Risk

• Strong analytical skills with a proven track record to quickly collate, analyse, and formulate independent views on key themes and issues. Comfortable with the manipulation of large data sets.

• Proactive and hands-on approach, with good organisational and problem-solving skills and ability to deliver high quality results in a timely manner. As well as a drive for streamlining existing processes.
