This is a really good opportunity for someone who is already working in Operational Risk / ERM / TPRM and wants to step into a more hands-on, framework-building role with strong exposure to senior stakeholders. I’m currently working with an international bank in London that is looking to hire a Risk Control Officer to join their Risk Management team. This is not just a reporting role — you’ll be heavily involved in shaping and enhancing the bank’s risk framework.
