Full Time | Permanent | 37 hours per week
Your Diligence. Our Assurance. Confidence for Customers.
At Curo, being well run and well governed is what gives our colleagues, our Board and our customers confidence in everything we do. Behind that confidence sits careful, reliable work: registers kept current, actions tracked to completion and clear reporting that surfaces the issues that matter.
That is where you come in. Joining our Governance and Assurance team, you'll help keep Curo's risk management, internal audit, fraud prevention and reportable events arrangements running smoothly, giving the Executive and Board the assurance they rely on.
This is a role for someone who takes pride in getting the detail right, enjoys bringing order to a varied workload and likes knowing their work helps keep the whole organisation on solid footing.
What You'll Be Doing
- Keeping our Strategic and Operational Risk Registers accurate and up to date, and supporting risk owners to review their risks, controls and actions
- Coordinating risk reporting and governance processes, including reporting to the Executive and Board Committees
- Coordinating the annual Internal Audit programme, scheduling audits and following up with action owners to evidence completion
- Tracking progress against audit recommendations and management actions, escalating overdue items promptly
- Supporting our fraud prevention and reportable events arrangements, and helping progress and report on actions
- Spotting trends and emerging risks across audits, incidents, complaints, fraud cases and reportable events
- Producing clear, timely reports for the business, the Executive and the Board
- Helping coordinate statutory and regulatory returns, and supporting wider governance and compliance reviews
