Treasury and Risk Governance Manager

£68,000 - £100,000

London, Hybrid (3 days per week in office)

The Treasury and Risk Governance Manager will report into the Head of Treasury Controlling and Chair of ALCO. You will:

• Own the end-to-end delivery of a complex annual cycle of financial and prudential risk governance committees
• Ensure that regulatory-standard documentation (papers, minutes, action logs, decision trails) is produced and maintained, with a clear, auditable record of review, challenge and decisions on key risk topics.
• Act as the operational "engine room" for treasury and risk governance - coordinating agendas, pre-socialisation, and ensuring relevant stakeholders receive the right information at the right time.
• Drive implementation of best-practice improvements to ALCO and related sub-committees (e.g. uplift in minute drafting, reporting, action tracking and forward planning).

This is a hands-on, high-exposure role, working closely with the Group Head of Financial Risks. Here is what makes this role attractive:

• Centre of gravity for prudential governance:
  You will be at the heart of how Wise demonstrates sound management of capital, liquidity and key financial and non-financial risks to its regulators and Board.
• Breadth of exposure:
  Direct exposure to ICARA/ILAAP, stress testing, risk appetite, model governance, across all major risk types (credit, market, liquidity, operational).
• Influencing skills: A chance to develop the skill of influencing busy senior stakeholders including Exco-equivalent and shaping governance outcomes through organisation, insight and persistence.
• Career path:
  Future progression could be towards senior Risk Policy and Governance, Company Secretariat, Business Manager / Chief of Staff

• Committee and meeting orchestration: Own the annual, quarterly and monthly governance calendar for Liquidity Risk Committee, Market Risk Committee, Prudential Risk Committee, Credit Risk Committee, and ALCO
• Maintain a forward-looking planner of all standing and ad-hoc items associated with prudential processes (ICARA, ILAAP, WDP), ensuring sufficient time is reserved for high-impact topics and peak periods.
• Work with Committees' Chairs to shape agendas and time allocation, decide which items require pre-socialisation or training before formal review and select the suitable range of stakeholders, ensure 1

  LOD alignment and resolution of key points outside the formal meeting where appropriate, with key challenges and outcomes reflected in the papers.
• Work with secretaries / sponsors of other committees across the Group to ensure clear and well planned governance paths for items across management, Group Board and subsidiary boards.

• Coordinate and, where needed, personally produce high-quality minutes ensuring that:
  • Key points of discussion, challenge and management responses are clearly captured.
  • Actions are clearly articulated, owned, and cross-referenced to agenda items.
  • Resolutions and decisions are explicitly stated, including any conditions or follow-ups attached to approvals.
• Oversee use and review output of AI/minute-capture tools and recordings (where used), compliance with retention policies and that recordings are not inadvertently treated as part of the final record.
• Establish a robust approach to version control of committee packs and supporting documents, providing a clear audit trail of what was presented to each committee meeting (e.g. for regulators or internal audit).

• Maintain a centralised action log across ALCO and the risk committees
