We have around 6,000 people on six continents. And we’ve been around for over 200 years, but keep adapting as society and technology changes. What doesn’t change is our commitment to helping our clients, and society, prosper.

- Facilitate the investigation of risk events, including the escalation of significant events to senior management as required
- Develop operational risk scenarios and support the estimation of the Group’s operational risk capital requirement, including contributions to the ICAAP/ICARA processes
- Analyse and report operational risk management information (MI)—including RCAs, risk events and issues—for senior governance forums such as the Group Risk Committee, Board Audit & Risk Committee and entity Boards
- Enhance and streamline reporting processes, improving efficiency, accuracy and control
- Collate and co-ordinate responses to RFPs and client queries, including producing presentation materials for client meetings
- Present to clients on the Group’s operational risk framework, as required
- Conduct thematic or targeted reviews to address emerging risks, issues or areas of focus
- Oversee and manage the operational risk system and train/support business users to ensure effective adoption and data quality
