This is a rare opportunity to help shape a brand-new function and further embed risk into our Homes business. We want someone who brings risk to life in a way people can understand – making it human, accessible and helping our people feel confident, empowered and supported in doing the right thing for our customers.
You’ll be curious, visible and brilliantly connected, building trust across teams and helping shape decisions with a pragmatic, solutions focused approach. With the freedom and autonomy to define how this role looks, you’ll embed risk, create a culture of customer centricity and proactive risk management.
As our Risk and Governance Lead, you’ll report directly to the Head of 1st Line Risk and Customer Conduct, taking ownership of risk reporting, governance cycles, insight generation and senior stakeholder engagement. You’ll help ensure Homes operates within risk appetite, meets regulatory expectations and keeps customer outcomes at the centre of decisions.
This is a great opportunity for a risk expert to build trust and credibility while improving risk maturity across the business.
