Job Title: Risk and Controls Tester
Team: Technology Risk & Controls
London
Albany Beck are seeking an experienced, hands-on Risk and Controls Tester to work with a leading financial services client Technology Risk & Controls team as a consultant. This role is designed for a controls professional who works in practical RCSA testing and wants to remain close to execution rather than moving into oversight or management.
This is a dedicated controls assurance role, focused on delivering high-quality Risk & Control Self-Assessment (RCSA) testing across technology risks. The successful candidate will be responsible for performing end-to-end control design and operating effectiveness testing, with a strong emphasis on evidence-based assessment and clear documentation.
This is not a project or delivery testing role. It does not involve SDLC, SIT, UAT, requirements gathering, or change delivery activity. The remit is squarely within controls assurance and RCSA execution.
What you'll be doing
Executing full-cycle RCSA testing across technology controls
Assessing control design and operating effectiveness
Independently planning, executing, and documenting testing outcomes
Working closely with stakeholders while remaining focused on delivery and evidence-based assurance
What we're looking for
A full-time, experienced RCSA tester with deep, practical exposure (not occasional RCSA involvement)
Strong background in audit or controls assurance testing
Comfortable getting into the detail and working through high-volume, hands-on testing
Able to independently execute testing end-to-end with minimal oversight
This role is ideal for a mid-level controls professional who enjoys rolling up their sleeves and delivering high-quality RCSA testing in a focused, execution-driven environment.
