As a Senior Risk & Controls Analyst – IRR Programme, you will be working for our client within a programme that supports controls identification, review, and policy interpretation tasks under the STDF IRR Programme Workstream. You will collaborate closely with Programme and Project Managers, business teams, and compliance stakeholders to review and document controls processes, policy rules, and their mappings across multiple regulatory submissions and exercises—ensuring reporting templates reach full compliance and remain aligned with current standards.

Your main responsibilities:

• Develop a deep understanding of the Risk Management Framework (Risk Taxonomy and Control Library) to ensure control assessments follow the correct policies and procedures.

• Review end-to-end reporting processes to identify risks and determine the correct controls required across key risk points.

• Assess control gaps and completeness across the stress testing population for each exercise, working jointly with operating process analysts.

• Evaluate control design and operational effectiveness; when issues arise (including reporting resubmission concerns), perform root-cause analysis and assess wider impact across processes, businesses, and entities.

• Partner with report owners in the business to enhance controls to required standards and propose changes to bring reporting templates to full compliance.

• Document control processes in relevant systems of record (training provided), formalising Business Process Controls, Business Automated Control, End User Computing (EUC), Models, and Calculations.

• Facilitate workshops and walkthroughs to complete process and control reviews, ensuring business stakeholders can understand risk and control concepts and demonstrate adherence to standards.

• Deliver clear progress reporting to measure, monitor, and communicate work status, negotiate pragmatic review approaches across competing priorities, and track controls/compliance items to resolution.

You're ideal for this role if you have:

• Strong controls process knowledge and a solid foundation in policy interpretation related to regulatory requirements and reporting.

• Experience working with controls concepts such as reconciliation controls, adjustment controls, analytical review controls, and senior management review.

• Ability to translate rules into reports, including understanding of governance, calculations, and interpretation of requirements for EUCs, models, and data.

• Capability to assess both control design and operational effectiveness, including performing root-cause analysis and proposing remediation.

• Comfort working with multiple stakeholders, including senior business managers, to drive alignment and secure agreement on remediation actions.

• Strong documentation and reporting skills to record control processes and track progress through to resolution.
