About the job

You will work in a dynamic and motivated team of risk and control professionals with the overall objective to strengthen the bank’s control framework.

You will have the chance to lead and manage the Regional Controls & Monitoring (‘C&M’) teams comprising Automation & Technology, as well as Core Frameworks & Strategies; both of which are instrumental in providing the support for the implementation of business risk management activities, such as monitoring and control testing for APAC, as well as the smooth delivery of strategic changes and new frameworks for controls & monitoring.

As a member of the C&M Management Team, you will liaise with the Execution Heads and Team Leaders within C&M to ensure smooth delivery and alignment of monitoring and controls testing activities in order to provide assurance to the Business.

You will understand the various C&M risk reviews in order to design process and framework improvements, and where the gaps/ issues are identified, ensure that these are being resolved and documented adequately.

You will supervise control and review results that are being reported and ensure these are validated and tracked on an ongoing basis via the respective child committee forums. This requires liaison with Competency Centers who handle the child committee forums for the various risk topics.
