Method Recruitment is partnering with a leading financial services organisation to appoint an Operational Risk & Compliance Specialist into a well-established second line risk function.

This is an opportunity to join a high-performing risk team supporting the oversight of non-financial and operational risk across a complex and highly regulated environment. The role provides exposure to a broad range of risk activities, including risk assessment reviews, control effectiveness assessments, governance reporting, assurance activities and emerging risk identification.
 
Working closely with experienced risk leaders, you will play an important role in helping the organisation identify control weaknesses, assess risk outcomes and support effective decision-making through quality risk analysis and reporting. The position offers excellent visibility across the business and would suit someone looking to build a long-term career in operational risk, compliance, governance or assurance.
 
The Opportunity
 
As part of an established second line function, you will:
 
  • Support reviews of risk assessments and identify gaps, themes and areas requiring escalation
  • Assist with control reviews and assessments of control design and operating effectiveness
  • Contribute to second line assurance activities through evidence gathering, analysis and documentation
  • Prepare reporting, governance packs and materials for management and risk forums
  • Maintain risk and control information, registers and supporting documentation
  • Analyse emerging risks, trends and recurring control issues
  • Support audit, assurance and regulatory engagement activities
  • Contribute to the consistent application of risk frameworks, policies and standards across the business
  • Assist senior risk leaders in delivering portfolio insights and risk reporting outcomes
 
About you
 
We're interested in speaking with professionals who have experience in:
 
  • Operational Risk
  • Compliance
  • Internal Audit
  • Governance
  • Risk & Controls
  • Assurance
 
You'll ideally bring:
 
  • Experience working within a regulated environment
  • A sound understanding of risk and control frameworks
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving capability
  • Excellent written communication and documentation skills
  • The ability to engage effectively with a broad range of stakeholders
  • Strong attention to detail and a commitment to delivering high-quality outcomes
  • Experience supporting assurance, audit or risk review activities

Exposure to procurement, supplier risk, outsourcing or third-party governance environments will be viewed favourably.
 
Why consider this role?
 
This opportunity offers genuine exposure to a mature second line risk function where you'll work closely with experienced risk leaders and gain broad visibility across enterprise operational risk activities.
 
Whether you're currently working in risk, compliance, internal audit or controls assurance, this role provides a platform to develop your advisory capability, deepen your understanding of operational risk frameworks and broaden your exposure to enterprise-wide risk management practices.
 
Interested?
 
If you're looking to take the next step in your risk career and would value exposure to a sophisticated risk environment, we'd welcome a confidential discussion.
 
To express your interest, apply directly or contact George Symonds at Method Recruitment for a confidential conversation about the role, team and career opportunities available.
