About you
You’re highly organised and comfortable balancing multiple priorities in a fast‑paced environment, with the resilience to operate accurately under pressure and meet tight deadlines. You’re confident engaging with stakeholders at all levels — including senior leadership, C‑suite and Board — and you bring a proactive, autonomous approach to your work. With excellent attention to detail, strong written and numerical skills, and a calm, professional communication style, you build trust through clarity, courtesy, and sound judgement.
You bring experience working in a mature, highly regulated environment, with a strong understanding of governance, risk, and control frameworks. You combine solid business and technical acumen with the ability to multitask across initiatives of varying size and urgency, using tools (including GenAI where appropriate) to improve efficiency and quality. Experience in areas such as governance paper drafting, data and MI, change or project management, and risk management would be beneficial — but above all, you’re someone who takes the time to understand the wider CFC business and how Operations can contribute meaningfully to its success.
