Senior Risk and Assurance Analyst

We’re all about helping our members make the most of their money. And while they go after their goals, you can too. As a Senior Risk and Assurance Analyst, you’ll help strengthen the way risk is understood, managed and embedded across our Strategy, Commercial Performance and Governance and Procurement teams in the Finance and Strategy business area.

Day to day, you'll:

• Partner with the Procurement business unit to uplift risk maturity and strengthen its control environment.
• Support the ongoing embedding of CPS 230 requirements, with a particular focus on third-party and supplier risk.
• Lead first-line assurance activities, risk assessments, controls testing and targeted risk reviews.
• Assess and strengthen controls across the procurement lifecycle, including sourcing strategies and supplier engagements.
• Help develop and enhance assurance frameworks, governance and supporting documentation.
• Provide practical guidance to control owners to strengthen control effectiveness and support proactive risk management.
• Deliver clear, high-quality risk reporting and insights for senior stakeholders, committees and governance forums.
• Partner with Line 1 and Line 2 Risk teams to embed consistent risk practices and strengthen risk profiles.
• Support internal audits, regulatory reviews and third-party assurance activities.

It goes without saying you'll be a great communicator with top notch interpersonal skills. We'll also expect you to pick up problems and come up with quick, creative ways to solve them. It's quite likely you tick some of the following boxes too:
