You’ll be working alongside your colleagues in Retail to achieve the Society's strategic objectives whilst maintaining a safe risk environment. You’ll be working with business and change teams to ensure risks are identified, appropriately mitigated, and understood, maintaining the documented risk profile and supporting effective risk reporting.
You will be collaborating extensively with stakeholders across the Customer Resolutions and Retail Services sub‑functions within Retail to provide insightful conduct, operational, and regulatory risk expertise and insight that enables the Society to take opportunities and manage risks in pursuit of its objectives.
Additionally, you will be supporting business teams to design, operate, and evidence a robust, effective, and efficient control environment, completing risk assessments across the range of risk categories.
