Risk Analyst
As our new Risk Analyst you'll help shape how we manage risk in a fast-paced, ever-evolving telecoms business. You’ll turn complex challenges into clear insight, practical action and better decision-making, supporting the operations, customers, reputation and regulatory standards that matter most.
This is a high-impact opportunity to strengthen our risk and compliance approach, influence teams across the business and play a meaningful part in TalkTalk’s ambition to become the UK’s most recommended Wi-Fi provider.
Following the streamlining of the Risk and Compliance function ahead of the Head of Risk and Compliance’s departure in early November 2026, this role will take on the ongoing, business-as-usual risk and compliance activity in full, ensuring continuous coverage during and after the transition.
What you’ll get involved in
- Identify, assess and monitor operational, technology, compliance and business risks, maintaining an accurate and up-to-date risk register within the GRC system.
- Support the implementation, embedding and continuous improvement of the enterprise risk and compliance framework across the organisation.
- Prepare accurate and insightful risk analysis and reporting for senior stakeholders and risk committees using advanced Excel techniques.
- Work closely with internal stakeholders including IT, Finance, Legal, Technology and business teams to ensure risk management is integrated into day-to-day operations.
- Conduct risk assessments, control testing and compliance reviews to identify gaps and support remediation activities.
- Track and report on risk mitigation actions, escalating issues where necessary to ensure timely resolution.
- Contribute to the development and maintenance of risk policies, procedures and training materials that promote a strong risk-aware culture.
- During the handover period, work directly with the outgoing Head of Risk and Compliance to absorb the streamlined ongoing activity and ensure a seamless transition of coverage.
