About your role

As a Manager in Controls Assurance & Operational Resilience, you will serve as a domain expert and execution lead, driving the design, delivery, and scale-up of control assurance and resilience testing across business and technology domains.

The role covers end-to-end testing across key areas including business continuity, third-party resilience, and scenario-based testing of critical business and technology controls. You will be accountable for ensuring testing is risk-led, consistently executed, and aligned to evolving regulatory expectations.

You will play a central role in embedding audit-ready, regulator-defensible practices by standardizing testing methodologies, strengthening evidence quality, and improving the consistency and transparency of reporting. In parallel, you will support the evolution of resilience testing capabilities to meet requirements under frameworks such as DORA and FCA operational resilience.

This role combines hands-on execution with governance leadership, including ownership of the testing lifecycle, uplift of data quality, and driving automation to improve efficiency and scalability of the assurance model.

Working across first, second-, and third-line functions, you will challenge control design, resolve evidence and data gaps, and actively support audit and regulatory engagement.

· Define and enforce standards for control descriptions, mappings, and evidence sufficiency to ensure audit- and regulator-defensible outcomes

· Maintain data quality, integrity, and consistency of compliance content within Enterprise GRC tooling, ensuring traceability and reporting accuracy

· Support risk-based prioritisation of control coverage, identifying gaps and driving remediation actions

Testing Lifecycle & Assurance Execution

· Support oversight and assurance over control attestations, evidence validation, and issue tracking

· Establish consistent approaches to testing, including definition of testing standards, evidence expectations, and documentation quality

· Coordinate with control owners and stakeholders to ensure timely completion of assessments and resolution of identified deficiencies

· Maintain oversight of continuous assessment activities and compliance monitoring

 

Audit & Regulatory Engagement

· Support audit and regulatory interactions, including preparation of responses, evidence collation, and issue clarification

· Apply judgement in addressing challenges raised by auditors on control design, coverage, and testing outcomes

· Track and support remediation of audit findings, ensuring closure is timely and evidentially robust

 

Reporting, Analytics & Automation

· Support development and maintenance of compliance and assurance reporting (e.g., Power BI dashboards, alerts, management reporting)

· Identify opportunities for automation and process optimisation to reduce manual effort and improve scalability of assurance processes

· Ensure alignment between data sources, reporting outputs, and control records within GRC systems

Stakeholder Engagement & Enablement

· Engage with Technology policy leads, control owners, and business stakeholders to resolve interpretation issues and drive consistent application of standards

· Provide guidance and training to stakeholders on control expectations, testing requirements, and system usage

· Drive adherence to governance processes and support escalation of risks, issues, and non-compliance

 

Skills and experience:

· Over 8–10 years’ experience in risk management, controls assurance, or compliance within enterprise or regulated environments

· Experience managing Business Continuity and Scenario Testing executions is add on.

· Strong hands-on experience with ServiceNow IRM or equivalent GRC tooling, including control frameworks, data management, and reporting
