• Career path: Future progression could be towards senior Risk Policy and Governance, Company Secretariat, Business Manager / Chief of Staff.

Key responsibilities include:

• Committee and meeting orchestration: Own the annual, quarterly and monthly governance calendar for Liquidity Risk Committee, Market Risk Committee, Prudential Risk Committee, Credit Risk Committee, and ALCO.
• Maintain a forward-looking planner of all standing and ad-hoc items associated with prudential processes (ICARA, ILAAP, WDP).
• Work with Committees' Chairs to shape agendas and time allocation.
• Document high-quality minutes ensuring key points of discussion, challenge and management responses are clearly captured.
• Maintain a centralised action log across ALCO and the risk committees.
• Plan and coordinate 1:1 review sessions and smaller working groups with key stakeholders.
• Translate regulatory feedback and internal reviews into concrete improvements in ALCO and other management committees' operations.

About you:

• Exceptional organisation and planning skills; able to manage multiple committees, deliverables and stakeholders in parallel.
• Strong written communication: able to turn complex discussions into clear, concise, regulator-ready minutes and action logs.
• Confident and assertive in follow-up - comfortable chasing actions and clarifications from senior stakeholders.
• Self-starting and proactive: Able to operate on own initiative to drive desired outcomes.

Qualifications:
