Job Description Summary
We’re strengthening the way Finance handles Non-Financial Risk, builds control excellence and delivers trusted outcomes for the Group. Within the Finance Chief Operating Office, the Finance Chief Control Office (FCCO) ensures robust oversight of potential risks and maintains firm first-line accountability.
We’re looking for a Senior Manager to lead the Finance Governance, Control Testing and Supplier Management teams within FCCO. This role involves collaborating with senior leaders across Finance, other Chief Control offices and 2LOD colleagues to embed the Resetting Risk framework. The goal is to strengthen the Group Finance control environment and improve executive risk insight quality.
About this opportunity
As a member of the FCCO leadership team, the person in this position will work closely with the Head of Finance, Group Finance colleagues, Group Risk Specialists and Chief Control Offices across the Group. The FCCO remit covers Non-Financial Risk, excluding Financial Reporting and Tax risk.
What you'll be doing
- Lead on Control Improvement, Risk Reporting, and Supplier Coordination, setting clear priorities and delivering high quality, consistent outcomes across Group Finance.
- Drive the implementation and embedding of the Resetting Risk framework, translating Group requirements into effective Finance practices across risk assessment, governance, monitoring and reporting.
- Shape Finance executive risk reporting, providing clear, concise and data led insight into risk exposure, emerging risks and control effectiveness to support senior decision making.
- Lead control optimisation initiatives across Finance, simplifying and rationalising control environments, improving control effectiveness, and embedding critical control testing.
- Provide review and challenge to Finance Risk and Control Owners, helping them understand their risk exposure, meet framework requirements and address weaknesses.
- Strengthen supplier governance and oversight, ensuring Finance-owned suppliers and non-traditional arrangements meet Group policy, segmentation, monitoring and governance requirements, with emerging risks and performance concerns appropriately called out.
- Build positive relationships across Finance, Risk and the Chief Control Office community, sharing standard methodology, resolving cross-functional challenges and improving consistency across the Group.
- Lead and develop a high-performing team, encouraging accountability, inclusion, innovation, collaboration and continuous improvement.
