You’ll also provide critical 2nd Line of Defence oversight, ensuring operational teams adhere to regulatory standards and internal policies. This is a high-impact role requiring autonomy, collaboration across functions, and a strong understanding of risk governance.

This role will be directly supporting Barclays Risk teams, working alongside a wide range of stakeholders across both Tesco Bank and Barclays.

What you’ll be doing
