- Drive continuous improvement in risk reporting and analytics, including building out new capabilities to strengthen monitoring and oversight.
- Build strong working relationships across Dealing, Finance, Treasury, Compliance, and senior management providing the risk insights that support real decisions.
- Support and manage project initiatives within the Financial Risk team, delivering against agreed objectives.
