Global Cash Operations Business Enablement Governance Associate in Bournemouth

Join Global Cash Operations Business Enablement in a high-impact governance role that shapes how we manage risk, controls, and operational resiliency across multiple legal entities and geographies. As a Global Cash Operations Business Enablement Governance Associate within the Global Cash Operations Business Enablement team, you will help to build and run a scalable governance framework that proactively mitigates risk, strengthens control effectiveness, and elevates visibility of issues. You will have a global vantage point across BAU operations at scale—spanning people, locations, and functions—where governance directly improves control health and enhances resiliency.

You will orchestrate the weekly-to-global cadence that surfaces issues early, drive root-cause fixes, and keep leadership focused on the metrics that matter. In this role, you will help modernise the governance operating model through automation and use of data—leveraging Alteryx and Tableau and other tools to reduce manual work, improve data quality, and deepen insights—while partnering with Controls, Regulators, Audit, Compliance, Risk, TCOE, Legal, and Operations to deliver scalable oversight across outsourcing, access management, IAS charter rationalisation, and KRI/KPI reviews.
