This role ensures the division meets all GRC objectives set by the Group CRO and Divisional CEO, supports business operations in meeting legal and regulatory obligations, and provides robust GRC reporting to divisional and group boards.

Critically, the role holder will work closely with business units to reduce the cost and frequency of complaints and operational errors, embedding a culture of accountability and continuous improvement. The role requires a strategic mindset combined with a strong delivery focus — balancing long-term planning with hands-on execution to drive measurable outcomes

Continuous Improvement

  • Promote innovation and agility in risk and compliance service delivery.
  • Support M&A activity, including due diligence and post-acquisition integration.
  • Support maintenance of relevant accreditations (e.g., ISO9001, ISO27001, CE+).

Operational Risk and Cost Reduction

  • Partner with sub-divisions to identify root causes of complaints and operational mistakes and implement corrective actions that reduce associated costs.
  • Monitor and report on trends in complaints and errors, ensuring insights are translated into tangible improvements.
  • Champion a proactive, data-driven approach to operational risk management that supports commercial performance.

Skills, Knowledge & Expertise

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
