2. Knowledge of supplier risks and controls, especially focused on operational resiliency of third party services.
3. Experience working with colleagues at all levels and getting colleagues excited about supplier risk and/or operational resiliency.
4. Strong people skills, with the gravitas to support and influence colleagues at all levels.
5. Confidence managing changing priorities, tight deadlines, and stakeholder relationships.

7. Be a team player whilst being an independent and self-starter.
8. You don’t need to have worked in a Bank previously – we would still love to hear from you, however financial services experience would be considered advantageous.
Our promise to you…
1. We will make sure that you are well-rewarded by providing you with a competitive salary, discretionary annual bonus, and a wide range of benefits, including generous holiday allowance, attractive pension scheme, healthcare, life assurance, and a number of colleague discounts!
2. We will give you the training to ensure you succeed in your role and plenty of internal opportunities to progress your career (around 40% of our recruitment comes from internal promotions!).
3. We are also all about balance so most of our jobs offer the opportunity for hybrid working built around your role and home life, wherever possible.
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!
