Stakeholder management: Work closely with senior stakeholders from all three Lines of Defense (Operations, Product, Compliance, Internal Audit) to ensure the effective and impactful delivery of our CMT reviews.
Experience: Demonstrable experience (>5 years) conducting and leading assurance reviews & issue validation work within Compliance, Financial Crime, Risk, or Audit functions; experience in a payments or fintech environment preferred.
