Location Holborn Office

County Central London

Ref # 16563

Closing Date 11-Dec-2022

Are you experienced in financial risk & controls? Can you use your banking and regulatory knowledge to collaborate on complex processes? Do you constantly look for ways to drive change and improve frameworks and controls? If yes, then we may have the role for you!

As the Finance Risk and Control Manager, you will lead the team and work closely with various colleagues across the Bank to establish the best finance risk and control environment. Metro Bank’s wonderful Finance team provide integral financial information and advice, meaning that we can continue to grow in a secure way and create even more fans. 

Depending on the team, most of our roles offer flexible working.

So what would you be doing?...

•Supporting the finance risk and control function
•Driving forward the finance agenda and making sure risks and issues are well understood by your colleagues
•Testing and enhancing Finance controls 
•Supporting the ongoing development and continuous improvement of the risk and control framework
•Organising and managing monthly finance risk committees
•Ensuring appropriate measures are in place to assess performance of core processes and key controls
•Embedding appropriate governance, within the Finance function, with appropriate adherence to control standards, with issues escalated to the senior management
•Building relationships with both internal and external stakeholders, and ensuring risks and issues are well understood for senior buy-in to support change
•Driving ongoing risk assessment of finance policies, processes and SOPs; identifying control gaps and developing appropriate remediating controls

You need to be this kind of person…

•Passionate about providing unparalleled levels of service and convenience for customers
•Able to work and learn quickly in a fast paced, fun and dynamic environment
•Prepared to stick at something – we wonder what might be the issue if someone has jumped from job to job as we want people who are prepared to learn and grow 
•Care about doing a great job and exceeding expectations with the quality of what you do

And... we are a bank so risk is a part of everything we do. We love people who take responsibility, do the right thing for customers, colleagues and Metro Bank and have the courage to call out any concerns.

We always support colleagues to develop their skills. But to be successful in this job you really do need to already be able to do most of these wonderful things…

•Understand the risks associated with your job and what that means for you, Metro Bank and all our stakeholders
•Naturally, you will have a proven track record of analysing finance issues and testing results to identify required actions and systemic problems
•To be successful in this role, you will have prepared monthly and quarterly reporting, delivered accurate and timely MI and have experience of the process of "review and challenge"
•We need you to be comfortable and have experience of managing senior stakeholders
•You will have first class understanding of working in a risk or controls role within Finance
•In order to hit the ground running, you will need a strong working knowledge of the UK regulatory regime and regulatory capital requirements 
•It would be amazing if you have a professional qualification or equivalent (ACCA, ACA, CIMA etc.) 

Important Footnote Diverse teams really are the best teams. We know that candidates (especially women, research tells us) may be put off applying for a job unless they can tick every box.  We also know that ‘normal’ office hours aren’t always doable, and while we can’t accommodate every flexible working request we are happy to be asked.  So if you are excited about working with us and think you can do much of what we are looking for but aren’t sure if you are 100% there yet… why not give it a whirl? Please note that sometimes we may close a job earlier for applications if we are inundated with amazing candidates.. Good luck!
