Job Description

We're seeking a Controls Advisor to join our Risk & Compliance team and play a key role in strengthening our control environment, enhancing assurance practices, and driving continuous improvement across the business.

Working closely with stakeholders across the organisation, you'll deliver high-quality control design, testing, provide valuable insights through reporting and analytics, and support initiatives that improve risk maturity, automation, and regulatory compliance.

About the Role

Reporting to the Manager, Risk Business Partnering (Controls), you'll be responsible for ensuring controls are effectively designed and operating as intended while helping the business navigate risk in a practical and commercially focused way.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead and execute control design and operational effectiveness testing across key business areas, ensuring timely, high-quality outcomes.
  • Drive continuous improvement of the control environment, including identifying new controls, retiring redundant controls, and supporting regulatory change initiatives.
  • Partner with business leaders, Risk & Compliance teams, and Group stakeholders to embed best practice controls and assurance activities.
  • Support automation and future-state assurance initiatives, including the use of data analytics, AI, and innovative control monitoring solutions.
  • Contribute to risk assessments, incident management activities, and broader projects that enhance organisational risk maturity.

About You

You are a proactive and solutions-focused risk professional who enjoys working collaboratively, influencing stakeholders, and finding practical ways to strengthen controls and risk management practices.

We're looking for someone with:

  • At least 5 years' experience in risk, compliance, assurance, audit, or legal roles within the financial services sector.
  • Strong understanding of risk management frameworks, controls, assurance methodologies, and regulatory obligations.
  • Experience designing controls, conducting control testing, risk assessments, and providing trusted advice to stakeholders.
  • Excellent communication and relationship-building skills, with the ability to translate complex concepts into practical business outcomes.
  • Strong analytical capabilities, commercial acumen, and a continuous improvement mindset.
  • Insurance industry experience, data analytics capability, or experience with automation and technology-enabled assurance will be highly regarded.

Why Join Us?

This is an opportunity to join a collaborative and high-performing team that is committed to delivering commercially practical risk and compliance outcomes. You'll be empowered to contribute ideas, influence change, and help shape the future of controls and assurance practices.

If you're passionate about strengthening control environments, leveraging data and technology, and partnering with stakeholders to improve risk outcomes, we'd love to hear from you.

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.
