Group Sourcing and Supplier Management (GS&SM) plays a vital role in delivering both cost efficiencies and revenue generation. We work closely with colleagues across the business to understand their needs and help them make informed decisions that balance pace, value and risk when acquiring goods and services. We're looking for a Framework Integration Assistant Manager to help deliver key regulatory, risk and audit activities across GS&SM.

This is an opportunity to work with policy owners, risk teams, Internal Audit and sourcing colleagues to turn findings into meaningful change, strengthen our framework and support critical business priorities.

• Translate external gap-analysis findings into clear, actionable plans and monitor delivery against regulatory deadlines.
• Partner with around 20 policy owners to embed agreed requirements into the Sourcing and Supplier Management Framework.
• Coordinate responses to second-line risk reviews and Internal Audit reports, validating findings and resolving factual inaccuracies.
• Establish and maintain robust action plans, including ownership, milestones, evidence tracking, risk management and escalation processes.
• Manage framework-related shared mailbox activity, coordinating input from subject matter experts and producing regular reporting.
• Build and maintain strong working relationships across policy, risk, audit and GS&SM teams to support effective delivery and governance.

Like the modern Britain we serve, we're evolving. Investing billions in our people, data and technology, we're building a purpose-led organisation focused on the future of banking and helping Britain prosper. Our colleagues bring the skills, passion and commitment needed to make a difference for our customers, businesses and communities.

• Experience delivering risk, audit, assurance, controls or policy activities within a regulated organisation.
• The ability to translate complex findings, recommendations or requirements into practical actions and structured delivery plans.
• Strong stakeholder management skills, with the ability to challenge constructively, influence decisions and secure progress.
• Excellent organisation, written communication and reporting skills.
• The ability to prioritise effectively and balance regulatory change activity alongside business-as-usual responsibilities.
• Experience coordinating multiple actions, deliverables and stakeholders to meet agreed deadlines.
• Any experience of this would be really useful.
• Knowledge of sourcing, supplier management or third-party risk management.
• Experience supporting regulatory, governance or framework implementation activities.
• Familiarity with audit issue management, remediation tracking or control improvement programmes.

Our ambition is to be the leading UK business for diversity, equity and inclusion, supporting our customers, colleagues and communities.
