The role is responsible for leading the planning and production of our key prudential deliverables and ensuring Financial Risk continues to be managed within risk appetite across the group. As such this is a senior finance role that will have impact across multiple collectives and disciplines

You will require a breadth of knowledge and experience across prudential regulation. Expertise covering ICAAP, solvent wind down and recovery and resolution planning is essential.  In addition to knowledge of financial risk, you will be expected to have a solid understanding of non-financial risk and have the practical skills to ensure critical processes linked to recovery, resolution and general financial stability are maintained and enhanced.  You will have the ability to independently interpret a range of regulations, determine the impact of those on the bank, and to manage projects to implement them.  You will have the ability to lead a high performing team and work effectively across all levels of the organisation.  You will play a key role in delivering important and challenging messages across the Finance collective and to senior leaders and stakeholders across the business

• Recovery Planning: Own the annual review of our recovery plan and ensure this continues to align to regulatory requirements and is reflective of the evolving nature of the group.  Ensure our recovery options are owned by business areas and fire drills are undertaken to test our response capabilities
• Resolution Planning / Solvent Wind Down Plan (SWDP): Own the group resolution plan and ensure SWDP elements are appropriately maintained for entities across the group.  Ensure requirements linked to the Groups evolving resolution strategy are implemented and we comply with Resolution Assessment Framework (RAF) requirements (including OCIR, VIR and COA).  
• Supporting with capital planning activities, risk appetite setting and lead ALCO reporting and KRI maintenance for Financial Risk
• Ensuring the impact of future prudential regulatory change is understood and working with relevant teams to assess and adapt to the challenges.

• Have a relevant professional qualification
• Have detailed knowledge/experience of the relevant regulatory requirements, and the ability to interpret what that means for the relatively unique circumstances of our bank.  
• Are comfortable with understanding financial projections and analysis techniques linked to the quantification of risk
• Ability to coordinate, participate and lead projects to produce regulatory deliverables and maintain the Bank’s set of prudential documentation and supporting materials.
• Are interested in identifying relevant data, performing analysis and understanding the impact on our bank.
• Are able to work independently, proactively and enjoy a dynamic and changing environment.
