The role
A rare opportunity to step into a high-impact leadership role within a major banking environment, supporting a critical controls uplift alongside broader transformation initiatives.
This role sits at the centre of a quick-moving, high-visibility program, with immediate responsibility for stabilising and leading a team through a period of change.
The opportunity involves taking ownership of a controls testing team, working closely with senior leadership to deliver across a range of uplift and transformation activities.
This is not a pure technical testing role — it's a people leadership position where your ability to lead, stabilise, and drive outcomes will be key.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead a team delivering controls testing across transformation and uplift initiatives.
- Act as the primary escalation point for team and stakeholder issues.
- Drive delivery against critical program timelines.
- Provide structure, direction and stability to a transitioning team.
- Partner with senior stakeholders across risk, compliance and the business.
- Ensure consistent execution across testing and BAU activities.
What We're Looking For
- Proven people leadership experience within risk, controls, or operational risk.
- Ability to lead through change and rebuild team engagement.
- Strong track record of delivering outcomes under pressure.
- Experience in financial services (banking preferred, but not essential).
- Background in controls, risk or governance environments.
- Confident stakeholder manager with a pragmatic, delivery-focused approach.
Why This Role?
- Step into a visible leadership role within a high-priority transformation program.
- Opportunity to shape and rebuild a team during a critical period.
- Work alongside senior leaders on enterprise-wide initiatives.
- Make an immediate impact as a hands‐on leader who can bring structure, energy and direction to a team in transition.
