London/UK Remote | 💰Competitive + Benefits | Hear from the team ✨

Due to positive growth and expansion within the bank, we’re adding 3 additional Risk & Control Partners to our busy, and vital Risk & Control Discipline.

The RCD also makes sure that key risk indicators are well-defined and understood, risk incidents are managed, MI & reporting packs are created, and risk & control assessments are completed.
