We are currently seeking an experienced professional to join our team in the role of Treasury Risk Manager – 10-Month Secondment.
This Treasury Risk Manager maternity cover offers a high-impact second line of defence opportunity within a strong, globally connected Global Risk and Compliance function, working across a broad and fast-moving risk landscape. The role gives you real breadth and visibility—designing and testing the effectiveness of controls across both Non‑Traded Market and Traded Risk activities for HBUK—while partnering closely with stakeholders on key financial and non-financial risk processes. A major selling point is the chance to contribute directly to the delivery of a new risk measurement and reporting infrastructure, with exposure to both internal and external audiences, making it ideal for someone who wants to apply deep risk expertise, influence outcomes at pace, and help protect and enable sustainable growth.
A move across the business allows you to continue to access tailored professional development opportunities, and our fantastic benefits packages.
In this role you will:
- Report on the risk and control profile, including supporting the review and testing of the operating effectiveness of the control framework; support scoping of analysis and checks where control gaps are identified
- Work with the business to understand the impact of emerging risks that require changes to controls, resources, and business operations to ensure activities remain within appetite; partner with Internal Audit to understand review outcomes and impacts to the control environment
- Challenge Risk and Control Owners on risk and control management, including inherent risk, residual risk, control effectiveness ratings, issues, actions, and events
- Support the senior Risk Steward in recommending Risk and Control Assessment (RCA) scoping, and challenge where scoping is not appropriately applied
- Ensure monitoring of control expectations and escalate issues as appropriate.
- Monitor market risk exposures and limit utilisation, and escalate material risks, limit breaches, and critical issues to Senior Management in a timely manner, in line with established escalation protocols
- Apply IRRBB (Interest Rate Risk in the Banking Book) and market risk knowledge to ensure relevant internal and external reporting requirements are delivered successfully
- Support the respective senior managers with IRRBB and market risk oversight, including analytical work.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
