What you’ll do...

• Highlight any control deficiencies for assigned Audits and draft issues and actions for inclusion in Draft Reports.
• Deliver assigned areas of Audits within agreed timescales, through collaboration with other colleagues keeping the Engagement Lead (EL) updated on progress and escalating issues and concerns promptly.
• Apply the Group Audit methodology and standards to identify and deliver high quality findings and robust supporting files.
• Ensure management actions address the root cause of findings, all findings are reported, followed up and management proposals to close are credible and fully supported by evidence ahead of recommending closure to the EL/Head of.
• Embrace continuous improvement through supporting change initiatives.
• Motivate, develop and collaborate within own team and across the wider function to drive higher performance and sustained results.
• Establish and build relationships with stakeholders to educate the business in the control framework and influence business processes and required actions to deliver control improvements.

You must have a knowledge of all or some of the following...

• Knowledge of the generic elements of a model life cycle, and their associated risks;
• Effective model risk management and governance;
• Regulatory capital requirements in Insurance or Banking;

As well as these technical requirements, it is key that you also possess excellent analytical, presentational, report writing, and communication skills.

Candidates will have an interest in and a wider appreciation of the business context of models and stress testing, and be able to demonstrate commercial awareness. They will possess an ability to quickly understand the practical business requirements of models and be able to pick up new or varied techniques beyond their experience to date.
