We’re working with a well-established international banking group that’s looking to add a Risk Assurance Manager to its 2nd Line Risk Assurance team.

If you enjoy getting stuck into different areas of a business rather than reviewing the same thing every day, this could be a great fit. Every few months you’ll move onto a new assurance review, giving you exposure to a wide range of non-financial risks and the opportunity to work with stakeholders from across the bank and wider group.

It’s a role for someone who enjoys asking questions, analysing information and getting to the root of how well risk and controls are operating. You’ll be trusted to lead reviews from start to finish, while working alongside an experienced and collaborative team that offers plenty of support and genuine opportunities to progress.

We’re particularly keen to speak with people who have:

• Experience leading end-to-end Internal Audit or 2nd Line Assurance reviews within a banking environment.
• A strong understanding of risk management frameworks and assurance methodologies.
• The ability to independently scope reviews, build testing plans and produce high-quality reports.
• Strong analytical skills and the confidence to quickly get up to speed across different risk areas.
• Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills, with the ability to influence senior audiences.
• Around 8-10 years’ experience in Internal Audit, Risk Assurance or a similar controls-focused role.

Why join?

This is a fantastic opportunity to build broad exposure across an international banking group. Rather than specialising in one risk discipline, you’ll have the chance to work across a wide variety of non-financial risk reviews, giving you real insight into how different parts of the business operate.

You’ll join a close-knit, collaborative team where everyone owns their own reviews but works together to share ideas and support one another. It’s an environment where you’ll quickly build relationships across the organisation, continually learn new areas of the business and develop the experience needed to progress into more senior leadership roles over time.
