Assess control design and effectiveness across CIB processes, gathering and validating evidence, and clearly reporting issues.

Identify weaknesses and root causes and ensure remediation actions are completed and sustainable.

Provide control testing of change initiatives, ensuring that client-impacting changes are risk assessed and appropriately governed.

Analyse data to identify trends, themes, and root causes for risk mitigation and operational improvement.

Support the development of dashboards or MI that track testing progress, common findings, and overall control environment health.

Communication & Stakeholder engagement

Act as a trusted partner to CIB business areas, Risk, Compliance, and Audit.

Support control forums and contribute to regulatory and audit responses.

Control Optimisation

Ability to analyse complex processes and products including corporate lending, trade finance, transaction banking products, payments and operations.

Proven success in delivering Control by Design and managing risk holistically across end-to-end accountabilities.

Experience in 1st, 2nd or 3rd line but not essential.
