The Opportunity
This is a hands-on interim role focused on capturing how a financial services organisation's controls and assurance processes actually operate in practice.
You'll work closely with senior stakeholders to extract critical, experience-based knowledge and turn it into clear, structured, audit-ready documentation.
Much of this knowledge currently sits across individuals and teams - your role is to make it consistent, accessible, and sustainable.
What You'll Be Doing:
Engage with senior controls and operations stakeholders to capture undocumented processes and ways of working
Conduct interviews and walkthroughs across multiple teams
Document:
End-to-end processes and operating models
Control objectives, activities, and ownership
Evidence requirements for audit and assurance
Roles, responsibilities, and dependencies
Ensure documentation reflects real-world operations, not theoretical design
Create outputs that support:
Operational continuity
Audit readiness
Regulatory assurance
What We're Looking For:
Strong background in financial services (preferably wealth management), working in senior role within front line operations teams or Governance, Risk Management and Compliance
Experience in the First Line of Defence
Hands-on exposure to:
Controls frameworks and assurance activities
Reconciliations, data checks, or operational controls
Proven ability to document complex processes clearly and accurately
Strong stakeholder engagement and interviewing skills
