What is the role?
A key objective of the Financial Risk and Controls Team is to oversee the implementation of a group-wide controls framework and drive improvements in finance processes. This role primarily focuses on financial controls but also on supporting improvements in non-financial and operational controls.
This will be achieved by working with each division and business to (i) evaluate their existing control environment (ii) identify gaps / improvements that may require remediation and (iii) ensuring the businesses regularly attest the controls that are in operation and reviewing the quality of these attestations.
The successful candidate should have experience of developing control environments in a complex group structure. Strong written and verbal communication and an ability to clearly articulate requirements to senior stakeholders is essential to this role.
Please note that this role is initially structured as a 12-month FTC. Following a hybrid work pattern, you are expected to be onsite 2-3 days per week on average in our Central London office.

Communicate, develop and report on the controls assurance process and reconciliation processes across the Group
Drive improvements in the quality, consistency and robustness of the existing reconciliations process
