This role plays a critical part in ensuring effective oversight of regulatory reporting processes in a complex, multi-market environment.

• Strong understanding of control and testing frameworks (e.g. PRSA, PPCR, RCSA or similar).
• High attention to detail with a strong focus on control quality, documentation, and audit readiness.
• Strong analytical skills with the ability to identify risks, control gaps, and execution issues.
• Ability to interpret operational data and support clear, accurate, and insight-driven governance reporting.
• Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities in a structured environment.
• Excellent English communication skills (verbal and written), with the ability to clearly articulate risks and issues.
• Sound judgement and confidence to challenge constructively and escalate risks early where required.
• Strong stakeholders management skills, with the ability to build relationships, drive cross-functional collaboration, and coordinate across multiple stakeholders while maintaining clear accountability.
  
  

Responsibilities

• Execute governance and oversight activities across regulatory and reporting processes, ensuring alignment with defined standards, internal policies, control frameworks and regulatory requirements.
• Support end-to-end process oversight by monitoring execution, identifying control gaps, and ensuring activities are completed accurately and on time.
• Perform control validations, documentation reviews, and evidence checks to ensure completeness, consistency, accuracy and timely reporting, while maintaining high-quality governance records for audit readiness.
• Support control and testing activities (e.g. PRSA, PPCR or similar), including evidence review, issue tracking, and remediation follow-up.
• Identify risks, control weaknesses, and process gaps, and escalate issues proactively with clear context and recommended actions.
• Track actions, dependencies, risks, and issues, ensuring clear ownership, timely resolution, and proper documentation of outcomes. Support preparation of materials for governance forums, and leadership updates.
• Partner with stakeholders across Governance, Compliance, and Operations to ensure clarity of roles, effective collaboration, and adherence to reporting expectations.
• Document current and future-state processes, identifying opportunities for standardization, optimization, and continuous improvement to support scalable delivery and operating model evolution.
