Job Description

We’re seeking an experienced and proactive UK Financial Risk and Controls Manager to lead our efforts in fostering a strong risk culture within the Finance function. This key leadership role is vital in ensuring the integrity and robustness of our financial controls, supporting effective risk management, and safeguarding the quality and compliance of our financial reporting.

In this role, you'll work closely with Finance leadership, 2nd-line risk functions, external auditors, and regulators to embed best practices, develop controls, and promote a risk-aware environment across the organisation. You’ll be instrumental in supporting the implementation of risk mitigation strategies, managing controls, and ensuring audit readiness.

We work smart, empowering our people to balance their time between home and the office in a way that works best for them, their team and our customers. You'll work at least two days a week (40%) away from home, moving to three days a week (60%) in the future. Away from home means either attendance at one of our office locations, visiting clients or attending industry events.

Essential Selection Criteria

Proven experience in risk management, controls, or audit within a financial services or insurance environment.
Strong leadership skills with a proactive approach to embedding a risk culture and driving continuous improvement.
Deep understanding of financial controls, risk assessment, and regulatory requirements.
Excellent stakeholder management skills, with the ability to influence and collaborate across multiple teams and external bodies.
Experience in developing and maintaining control frameworks, including control attestations and documentation.
Strong analytical skills, with the ability to identify, evaluate, and mitigate risks effectively.
Excellent communication skills, able to convey complex risk issues clearly to senior management and regulators.
A highly organised and disciplined approach, capable of managing multiple priorities and deadlines
