The Chief Risk Office function has Group-wide responsibility for the management and control of all credit, market, operational, reputational, enterprise and liquidity risks and has the responsibility of continual development of methods for risk measurement, frameworks and creating a bank wide strong risk culture.

Non-Financial Risk Management (‘NFRM’) is a department within the Risk Division. As a Second Line of Defence function, NFRM is responsible for oversight across all aspects of non-financial risk (‘NFR’), including risk identification and assessment, control framework, risk appetite and scenario analysis.

In addition, the team is responsible for the Reputational Risk Framework policy documentation, framework adherence, reporting and minimum control/governance standards.

This is an exciting opportunity for a high calibre individual to perform a proactive risk management role to support setting the bank's non-financial risk management approach to ESG.

• Awareness of the regulatory guidance and key topics across different markets relating to ESG and sustainability.
• Keen eye for detail and ability to work to deadlines, naturally proactive and willing to take responsibility for the successful delivery of initiatives.
