We use git for source control and the Atlassian suite (Bitbucket, Confluence, Jira) for code reviews, documentation, and project tracking. No finance knowledge is required, but excellent communication and collaboration skills are essential. We believe our unique diversity is a key aspect of our success and strive to maintain an open and inclusive culture to everyone.

Ensure adherence to all internal and external regulations
Support Operational Risk monitoring via reports and data provided to Compliance and BORM
Assist in ensuring that there are appropriate and documented internal controls and procedures in place
Responsible for assessing the effectiveness of the Group’s arrangements to deliver effective governance, oversight and controls in the business and, if necessary, oversee changes in these areas
