Job Description

How you'll help us live our purpose
We've been helping our members save for their future and buy their own home since 1875. Join us and you'll play a big role in helping us to put home ownership within reach of more people, generation after generation.
It's a purpose that drives everything we do. And you can play your part too - join our Risk & Compliance team as a Enterprise Risk Business Partner.
How you'll make a difference
In the role of Enterprise Risk Business Partner, you will be responsible for the development, implementation and monitoring of the Society's Enterprise Risk Management Framework (ERMF).
Acting as a trusted second line business partner, the role supports effective risk governance, clear articulation of risk appetite, high-quality risk policies, insightful and timely risk reporting and disclosures and the promotion of a strong risk culture across the Society.
You will work closely with senior leaders, first and second line teams, and committees to ensure enterprise risks are identified, assessed, managed and reported in line with regulatory expectations, the Society's strategy, and member interests.
What will you bring to the role?

• Experience in enterprise risk management within a UK financial services organisation (preferably a building society, bank or mutual).
• Strong understanding of UK regulatory expectations (PRA and FCA) and governance best practice.
• Proven experience developing or operating enterprise risk frameworks, risk appetite, and risk reporting.
• Ability to communicate complex risk issues clearly to senior stakeholders.
• Strong analytical, written and presentation skills.
• Independently minded and able to challenge constructively and professionally.
• Relevant professional qualification or working towards one (e.g. IRM).
• Ability to develop and mentor more junior members of the team

And in return, you'll get the best from us:

• Hybrid working - 2 days per week in the office
• Annual bonus of up to 12%
• Matched pension contributions up to 10%
• 26 days holiday, plus bank holidays and holiday purchase scheme
• Colleague Mortgage and Saver products
• 2 days' volunteering per year

We'll give you a place to belong with the support to learn, develop and shape a meaningful career.
