Financial Services - Extended Assurance - Senior Manager

EY's Financial Services practice is currently undergoing exciting change. The business is rapidly growing, and we are expanding our Extended Assurance team across the UK. This role can be based in London, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Leeds or Manchester. This growth offers great opportunities for learning and progression.

The Opportunity:

Our Extended Assurance practice provides ongoing assurance to regulators, management and directors on the quality of governance, processes and controls managing financial and non-financial risks within a business. Current turbulent markets are driving significant changes to all firms' internal processes through regulatory reporting or demands for better or new management information. The processes require a broader set of controls than those traditionally used for Financial Statement reporting, including the requirement to address a wider suite of risks.

EY's Financial Services Extended Assurance team works with clients to provide assurance that an organisation's business activities are operating effectively in addressing these challenges. This is done through the appropriate use of assurance skills, robust audit and other methodologies coupled with industry insight in the Financial Services market.

Your Key Responsibilities:

• Work on the execution of a variety of projects, including non-financial assurance reviews (COREP, ICAAP and ILAP), business process and controls advice and compliance services.
• Work in complex multi-disciplinary teams, with responsibility for the overall execution of smaller projects and individual components of larger projects, under the guidance and direction of Directors and Partners.
• Use expertise in assurance methodologies to lead engagements in compliance with the firm's and industry standards.
• Coach team members, share experiences, share knowledge and generate new ideas with them.
• Work with clients to remediate and provide assurance over their prudential regulatory reporting processes, returns and templates.
• Lead projects for Prudential Regulatory remediation, compliance reviews, skilled person assurance review, and reporting process and controls redesign.
• Manage client proposals to support Directors and Partners driving new business opportunities.

Skills and attributes for success:

• Strong background in Financial Services, having worked in prudential reporting teams or undertaken change projects or assurance projects in prudential reporting environments.
• Desire to build/develop a career in assisting financial services clients with controls assessments/improvements.
• Ability to lead teams and deliver solutions to meet client needs.
• Intellectual rigor/flexibility to rapidly understand complex problems and rationalise these into workable solutions.
• High technical understanding of Prudential Regulatory reporting requirements across areas such as liquidity reporting, interest rate risk reporting, FX risk reporting, capital reporting, and market risk reporting.
• Basic understanding of financial instruments and treasury products.
• Ambition to build your internal and external brand as a subject matter specialist in Prudential Regulations.
• Experience of working in assurance, risk or controls projects.
• Ability to operate with stakeholders/manage projects spanning all functions within client organisations.

To qualify for the role, you must have:

• Prudential Regulatory reporting knowledge.
• Particular industry specialism in Financial services, either in Banking & Capital Markets, Wealth & Asset Management or Insurance.
• Proven experience of working in assurance, risk and/or controls projects.
• Ability to identify operational risks within a process and design controls testing programs.
• Knowledge and experience of working in a dynamic, demanding environment.

Ideally, you'll also have:
