Senior Risk & Control (RCSA) Deployment Lead (Contract) in London

Senior Risk & Control (RCSA) Deployment Lead (Contract) in London

London Full-Time On-site
Be Shaping the Future Management Consulting

We are looking for an experienced Risk & Controls SME with deep RCSA expertise to lead the deployment and implementation of a new Risk & Controls Framework within a complex financial-services organisation.


The strategy and framework have already been developed. We now need a senior subject-matter expert who understands RCSA and Risk & Controls frameworks in depth, and who also has the delivery leadership required to translate that framework into practical implementation across the organisation.


You will lead a team of analysts, working closely with Risk, Controls and Business stakeholders to drive deployment through to effective adoption and BAU.


What you'll be doing

  • Lead the deployment and implementation of the RCSA / Risk & Controls Framework.
  • Act as a senior Risk & Controls SME, providing direction, challenge and guidance throughout implementation.
  • Translate the agreed framework into practical workstreams, assessments, controls and implementation activity.
  • Lead and provide subject-matter direction to a team of analysts undertaking the detailed work.
  • Own the delivery roadmap, milestones, dependencies, governance and implementation plan.
  • Work with senior Risk, Controls and Business stakeholders to resolve issues and drive decisions.
  • Ensure the framework is implemented consistently and retains its intended risk and control objectives.
  • Drive adoption and ensure the framework becomes embedded into BAU, rather than simply documented or implemented as a one-off exercise.


What we're looking for


Subject-matter expertise is the primary requirement. We are looking for someone with:


  • Deep practical knowledge of RCSA, Risk & Controls Frameworks, Operational Risk and controls environments.
  • Significant experience implementing, deploying or embedding RCSA / Risk & Controls frameworks within complex organisations.
  • The credibility to operate as the senior SME, challenging stakeholders and guiding analysts through detailed implementation.
  • A strong understanding of risk assessments, control identification, control effectiveness and remediation.
  • Experience translating risk methodologies and frameworks into practical, operational processes.
  • Strong delivery leadership, with experience managing analysts and complex implementation activity.
  • The ability to influence senior stakeholders across Risk, Controls and the Business.
  • Experience within a large, regulated financial-services environment.
  • Investment management or asset management experience would be highly advantageous.

This is not a generic project-management role. We need someone who knows RCSA and Risk & Controls, can provide genuine subject-matter leadership, and has the delivery capability to take an established framework and successfully deploy it across the organisation.
