Your Core Responsibilities:
- Own and continuously enhance the Key Control Framework, ensuring effective testing, monitoring, and assurance of critical firm-wide controls
- Conduct annual Risk Survey, Culture assesment and Risk Control Self-Assessment process to ensure proactive and consistent identification, evaluation, and mitigation of key risks

Your Skills and Experience:
- At least 5+ years of relevant operational & prudential risk management experience in financial services or trading environments
- Proven experience interpreting prudential risk regulations, translating them into practical implementation, and understanding how they impact the business (IFR/IFD experience preferred)
- Plus when direct experience with ICARA processes, Pillar 3 disclosures, and prudential reporting
- Demonstrated experience developing and implementing Operational Risk frameworks, including RCSA and Key Control frameworks
- Understanding of financial markets, trading operations, and associated risk exposures
