• Design and develop end-to-end control frameworks for products, services, processes and customer journeys.
• Identify operational, conduct, financial and regulatory risks and translate them into effective controls, monitoring and assurance activities.
• Partner with programme, platform and delivery teams to embed control-by-design principles throughout the change lifecycle.
• Use data, analytics and management information to identify trends, strengthen decision-making and improve control effectiveness.
• Prepare high-quality governance materials and communicate complex risk and control matters clearly to senior leaders.
