What we’ll offer
This is an exciting opportunity to join a growing team and help shape the Bank’s compliance with an important piece of upcoming regulation, “UK Sox”. The role will provide a wide level of exposure to a variety of processes, products and Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) across the Bank, meaning you will be able to gain exposure to the wider Bank in a way few roles can provide.
This is your chance to show us how well you work collaboratively in improving the controls we need, as well as gaining access to multiple internal processes and products that play to your strengths - building your career within the Tesco Bank family.
The UK Sox regulation is new to the UK, and being involved in these early stages will provide successful candidates with early insight and experience, being at the forefront of an area that will be in focus for several years.
Otherwise, this is generally an exciting time to join Tesco Bank, as we adopt Agile practices across the Bank which are likely to provide key skills required for the future.
The Role
You will be working on:
- Capturing and documenting processes, highlighting the key risk points.
- Identifying the relevant controls that are, or need to be, in place, helping develop and document these controls to the required standards.
- Testing the controls to verify that they are taking place and working as intended.
- A variety of processes, products, with varied stakeholders, that will provide excellent exposure, and demand good prioritisation and time management.
What you’ll bring
We don’t expect you to tick every box, and if you feel you hit most of the brief, it’s worth exploring to further develop your career here with us at Tesco Bank.
Ideally you will have,
- A background in risk and control, gained from any of the three lines of defence.
- Good interpersonal skills, able to engage with SMEs at various levels across different business lines.
- The ability to pro-actively manage your priorities and time.
- Experience of either US Sox or Financial Services will be an advantage but not essential. #LI-NT1
