Risk and Control Manager

Undertaking a range of risk and controls based assignments across Finance supporting Governance, Risk and Control Senior Managers with risk identification and assessment, assurance activities (including independent testing) and other monitoring and compliance requirements.

The role provides an opportunity to gain exposure to senior finance colleagues across the Group and development opportunities by working in a range of different finance business areas.

Central Finance is a recently created finance team which operates at the heart of the finance community providing, analysis, insight and financial strategic direction and solutions to a vast range of stakeholders, across the finance community, internal business teams and external investors and markets. The opportunities within the team also require interaction with this wide range of stakeholders, building and developing networks across finance and business communities as appropriate. These key relationships will ensure the right information, insight, analysis and controls are collated, produced, summarised and presented to enable the most senior leaders of the organisation to make the right decisions at the right time.

The roles within Central Finance are an excellent opportunity for those colleagues who want to challenge and stretch themselves, personally driving and shaping the recently created function, and to ensure that the organisation continues to progress towards our strategic aims.
