Description
Leading corporate bank is currently on a journey to rebuild a bank that is safe and sustainable. By undergoing programme work within the regulatory risk function my client is proactively de-risking the business. This is an exciting time to join the risk management function because the function has 100% backing from the CEO and to date the group has made significant progress and delivered on all commitments to reduce risk.

-Prepare the businesses for new financial services regulation, to help to ensure that they comply by the time of its implementation.
