* Design and execute severe but plausible scenario stress testing and document after-action reports.
* Identify, track, and remediate control vulnerabilities and operational risks.
* Manage project milestones, deliverables, and stakeholder reporting.

* Strong understanding of Markets Operations and control frameworks.
* Knowledge of payments, funds movements, and associated controls is a plus.
* Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills – confident leading discussions across senior business, risk, and technology teams.
* Proven ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced, high-stakes environment.
* Advanced Excel, PowerPoint, and process mapping skills.
* Highly organised, detail-oriented, and proactive with a self-starter mindset.
