Office Location: London | Hybrid (3 days in office per week) | Salary range: £60,000 - £70,000
Who we are looking for
We’re looking for someone who can help strengthen the way Bank of London runs: making sure our key controls work in practice, spotting where processes can be improved, and giving teams clear, evidence-based insight they can act on. This role sits close to the business and helps turn control testing from a compliance exercise into a practical tool for better decision-making, stronger operations, and safer growth.
The role also provides additional coverage for validating relevant regulatory reports and compiling and documenting evidence for submission, alongside core control testing responsibilities.
