The Role
You will play a crucial role in leading the management of operational risk and compliance within the Constantinople Banking Cloud Platform and corporate environment.

You'll collaborate with various teams to provide advice, drive important initiatives and execute on a range of control assurance and governance activities.

- Drive action plans and uplift activities across the platform or guide other teams in their uplift activities
- Manage regulatory change - monitor the regulatory horizon, assess the impact of new and changing obligations, and coordinate implementation across affected services
- Coordinate internal testing and independent assurance reviews, (e.g. the Constantinople SOC 2 program)
- Execute governance activities such as third party due diligence, organisational risk forums, change management / impact assessments, issue and incident management
- Use AI tools to automate and scale risk and compliance workflows across the full risk management framework / lifecycle
Who You Are
- Sound knowledge of operational risk and compliance management concepts, frameworks, and standards

- Experience in banking and or financial services
