Facilitating the completion of the annual risk and controls self-assessments and year-end attestation process, which will include some validation and/or testing of controls to provide assurance of accuracy. Involvement in operational risk capital scenarios assessments and documentation relating to Technology and Business Change. Supporting third party related risk activities. Who we’re looking for:
An excellent understanding of risk management processes and controls, and previous experience in a risk, audit or compliance-based role. Experience from within financial services/banking preferred. Ability to communicate technical subjects in a concise and clear manner to a wide audience. Experience of overseeing or working in a Technology and Business Change function where the role had a focus on risk and controls would be preferable. Strong interpersonal skills, ability to build relationships with senior stakeholders and influence effectively. What's in it for you? Non-Contributory Pension – 10% (increasing with length of service up to 15%) with further pension matching. Parental leave – 6 months full pay. 28 days holiday entitlement plus bank holidays (based on full-time equivalent) with the option to buy up to an additional 5 days holiday. Flexible Working We know that everyone works best in different ways, at different times and in different environments. We have introduced a hybrid working policy to provide greater flexibility for part-time work, job-sharing, remote working, and flexibility on hours. Our people are encouraged to work in a flexible way that suits their lifestyle, so please ask the question and start a conversation! Research tells us that applicants (especially those from underrepresented groups) can be put off from applying for a role if they do not meet all the criteria or have been on an extended career break. If you think you would be a good match for this role and can demonstrate some transferable experience, please apply, regardless of whether you tick every box. Reasonable Adjustments We're an equal opportunities employer and want to ensure our recruitment process is accessible and inclusive for all. If you require reasonable adjustment(s) at any stage please let us know by emailing us at careers@sjp.co.uk. What's next? Our team will be in touch. As a business regulated by the FCA, we would advise you to familiarise yourself with the conduct regulations and in particular consumer duty obligations prior to an interview with SJP.
