Do you have an amazing eye for detail? Love analysing risks? Are you driven by helping colleagues build risk awareness? If so, then being a Risk Manager at Metro Bank could be the role for you!

As a Risk Manager you are accountable for identifying, managing and monitoring operational risks and controls across the Commercial businesses areas – specifically Invoice Finance and Asset Finance. This will involve working with these business areas, reviewing and implementing the Bank’s Risk Management Framework and supporting policies and minimum standards and in doing so, providing a compliant environment for the Bank to operate in from a Customer and regulatory perspective. You will be responsible for providing support, education and training to Colleagues to build risk awareness within the department.

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

So what would you be doing?...

•Managing risks within Invoice Finance and Asset Finance with a view to driving continuous improvement and mitigate risks.
•Facilitate delivery of core risk and control processes including Risk and Control Self-Assessment, Management of Issues and Incidents, Operational Loss Event reporting, Risk Management Action Plan and Risk Governance and Reporting activity.
•Support in the development and execution of a Control Assurance Testing Approach, challenging outputs and supporting the business areas in identifying and testing the effectiveness of key controls to mitigate risks.
•Developing and producing quality risk MI (KPI & KRI’s) to provide senior management with insight on the adequacy and effectiveness of the management of our most material non-financial risks and underlying control environment
•Understanding regulation and policy by keeping updated with changes and ensuring these are implemented and understood by the business area 

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 get nervous 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..

•We believe in “one in, one up” at Metro Bank, growing our own and promoting from within. That is why we are looking for YOU! An AMAZEING colleague to move into this FANtastic new role!
•Understand the risks associated with your job and what that means for you, Metro Bank and all our stakeholders
•Experience of working as a Risk Manager with knowledge of core risk tools and processes e.g. risk & control assessments, controls assurance, risk event reporting and risk reporting (KRIs)
•Experience of working in a 1st or 2nd Line Risk & Control team of a financial services firm or similar.
•Prior experience of process improvement in an operational environment
•Experience within Invoice Finance and/or Asset Finance
•Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal as you will need to be confident to present and report on key risks and issues to Risk Forums and senior audiences.





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!
