We have an incredible opportunity to join us here at Phoenix Group as a Finance Risk Assurance Manager in our Heritage and Finance Risk & Governance Team.
Who are we?
We want to be the best place that any of our 6,800 colleagues have ever worked.
We’re the UK’s largest long-term savings and retirement business. We offer our 12 million customers products across our market-leading brands, including Standard Life, SunLife and ReAssure, with c.£259 billion of assets under administration. We’re a FTSE 100 organisation that is tackling key issues such as transitioning our portfolio to net zero by 2050, and we’re not done yet.
The role
The role holder will support compliance with the Risk Management Framework across Finance and enable maintenance of a robust control environment. You will support the Finance function to identify, measure, monitor and manage the risks the Group and its customers are exposed, considering individual and aggregate exposures and dependencies.
The role will play a key part in assuring we deliver a high standard and help shape the future of our control assurance testing across the function. You'll plan, deliver and report on complex Line 1 assurance reviews to Senior Management, highlighting areas where risk is not managed within appetite and identify potential improvements. You'll also deliver Assurance Reviews to re-performance standards such that Lines 2 (Risk) and 3 (Internal Audit) can rely on them.
The successful candidate will build close working relationships, gaining credibility and an appropriate level of influence in Finance. You will influence key stakeholders across the Group to drive positive risk outcomes and gain buy-in on risk management initiatives.
You'll also get the opportunity to organise and facilitate workshops and training sessions to promote a clear and consistent understanding of risk and promote discussion on risk issues and possible solutions within Finance.
What are we looking for?
We are looking for professionals with experience working in financial services and a thorough understanding of Audit, Governance and Risk Management Frameworks as well as Finance/Actuarial controls. You’ll have previous experience in either Risk, Assurance or Internal Audit based roles with a history of delivering results.
Holding a relevant Risk or Audit related qualification, e.g. The Institute of Risk Management or Institute of Internal Audit would be advantageous.
You’ll have excellent stakeholder management and communication skills. You’ll also be practical and organised with a can-do attitude. In this role you will be part of a supportive and collaborative team, but given autonomy to manage your own work. If this sounds good to you, we’d love to hear from you!
We want to hire the whole version of you.
We are committed to ensuring that everyone feels accepted and welcome applicants from all backgrounds. If your experience looks different from what we’ve advertised and you believe that you can bring value to the role, we’d love to hear from you.
If you require any adjustments to the recruitment process, please let us know so we can help you to be at your best.
