My client is seeking an experienced Senior Risk & Controls Specialist to support the design and implementation of a new Enterprise Risk Management Framework. This is an initial 3–4 month contract within financial services and requires someone who has previously built an Enterprise Risk Management Framework from scratch within a banking environment. This role will suit a highly experienced, hands‑on GRC professional who combines robust Enterprise Risk expertise with the ability to work across complex stakeholder groups and deliver within a high‑pressure environment. A Big 4 or management consulting background is highly preferred, with the successful contractor expected to personally drive the framework design, documentation and implementation rather than simply provide oversight or advisory support.
