What's The Role?

As part of our Global Compliance Practices team, you will work with Compliance colleagues, as well as key Legal, Risk, Business and Technology partners, in delivering a Compliance Risk Management Program (Program) and contributing to key regulatory initiatives. The role focuses on Regulatory Obligation Mapping, a key pillar of our Program, and includes leading and supporting its strategic implementation across multiple businesses, regions, and regulatory topics - which is a unique opportunity for broad exposure across the Company's businesses, operational risk programs (across technology, information security, enterprise risk management, business continuity, third-party) and regulatory-related controls. As part of risk management practices, you will identify and escalate top and emerging risks to senior management and to Compliance management.

We'll Trust You To:

• Facilitate cross-functional collaboration with Legal, Compliance, Risk, and Business Line Control Management to produce accurate, high-quality regulatory maps.
• Lead and contribute to governance routines, ensuring consistent stakeholder engagement and timely issue escalation.
• Produce and present meaningful management information (MI) to Compliance leadership, risk committees, auditors, and regulators.
• Provide subject matter expertise on regulatory obligations, emerging compliance risks, and control adequacy-especially in investment banking and prudential regulations, and anti-money laundering domains.
• Support the enterprise risk management framework in partnership with the Chief Risk Office and Risk & Compliance Shared Services (RCSS).
• Challenge and guide first line of defense teams on control design and risk mitigation in a way that promotes accountability and proactive risk management.

You'll Need To Have:

• Minimum of 8 years of experience in Compliance, Legal, Risk, Internal Audit, or related functions, with demonstrated experience in regulatory or control frameworks.
• Hands-on experience in regulatory mapping, preferably in a global financial services or at a Big Four consulting firm (Deloitte, PwC, EY, KPMG).
• Strong understanding of global operational resilience regulations (e.g., DORA, FCA Operational Resilience, Reg. SST, Reg. SCI, BCM Guidelines, TRM Guidelines) and/or related industry standards (e.g., NIST, COBIT, FFIEC, COSO).
• Experience with compliance or risk frameworks.
• Exceptional verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to distilldistil complex regulatory content into clear, actionable insights.
• Proven ability to lead cross-functional initiatives, influence stakeholders, and manage competing priorities.
• Demonstrated ownership mindset, accountability, and ability to deliver high-quality work under time pressure.
• Strong analytical skills and structured problem-solving capabilities.
• Strong team player skills in order to guide organizational change and collaborate with key partners across various levels.

*Please note we use years of experience as a guide but we certainly will consider applications from all candidates who are able to demonstrate the skills necessary for the role.
