• Ensure risk events are recorded accurately and responded to in a timely manner, maintaining the completeness and integrity of risk reporting.

• Implement and maintain governance and training mechanisms that keep the business's risk profile well-managed and transparently reported.

• Partner with stakeholders across the business to embed control points and processes that enhance both client experience and operational effectiveness.

• Analyse risks in line with policy requirements and support the rollout of standards and procedures that align with organisational risk management objectives.

Required Qualifications & Skills

• Demonstrated ability to assess risk and control frameworks, identify root causes of control failures, and formulate practical corrective measures.

• Working knowledge of regulatory requirements, laws, and rules relevant to business decision-making within a financial institution would be beneficial.

• Proficiency in advanced Excel for data sorting, filtering, and risk-related analysis, alongside experience managing and querying databases for risk reporting purposes.

• Ability to produce clear, well-structured documents, reports, and procedural manuals that communicate risk findings to a range of audiences.

• Experience implementing governance frameworks and compliance standards, with the ability to track and manage regulatory obligations using relevant software tools.

• Familiarity with data visualisation tools such as Tableau or Power BI to support risk analysis and management reporting.

Beneficial Skills & Qualifications

• Experience in Custody or Asset Servicing environments, with an understanding of the operational and risk landscape specific to these businesses.

• Comfort working with artificial intelligence tools and an ability to apply emerging technologies to enhance risk monitoring and reporting processes.
