  • Work with process owners to update and maintain Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), process maps, checklists, and control documentation.
  • Recommend control improvements to reduce operational risk, regulatory risk, processing errors, and customer impact.
  • Support the standardisation of processes across teams where appropriate.
  • Ensure key controls are embedded into daily operations and are practical for frontline execution.
  • Track process changes and ensure proper governance approval, documentation, communication, and implementation.

  • Knowledge of onboarding processes, customer application journeys, KYC/CDD touchpoints, documentation requirements, and exception handling.
  • Experience with RCSA, audit management, incident management, control testing, or operational risk reporting.
  • Experience in process improvement, automation, straight-through processing, or workflow optimisation.
