Senior Manager Risk & Compliance – Risk Partnership (6-Month Secondment/Fixed Term Contract)

We’re looking for an experienced risk professional to join our Risk Partnership team for a six-month fixed term, providing parental leave cover and supporting our Lend and Protect tribe within Personal Banking.

While the opportunity is for a defined period, there’s plenty to get involved in. You’ll work closely with the business in a fast-paced tribe environment, helping teams navigate change, strengthen controls and make well-informed risk decisions.

Te Tūranga | The role

As a trusted risk partner, you’ll provide high-quality advice, guidance and constructive challenge to leaders and teams within Lend and Protect. You’ll help stakeholders understand their risk and compliance responsibilities and support them to take clear ownership of their risks.

Your work will include change risk management, delivered risk reviews, control design and review, risk and compliance incidents, root cause analysis and remediation activities. You’ll also contribute to key forums and initiatives, helping turn technical risk requirements into clear and practical advice that supports delivery.

You’ll build strong relationships across Personal Banking, Risk and Assurance, while also coaching and supporting them to build their risk capability and confidence.
