• Influencing senior stakeholders: Develop the skill of influencing ExCo-level stakeholders and shaping governance outcomes through organisation, insight, and persistence.
• Career progression: Future opportunities include senior Risk Policy & Governance, Company Secretariat, or Business Manager / Chief of Staff roles.

Key Responsibilities:

Committee and meeting orchestration:

• Oversee AI/minute capture tools and recordings, ensuring compliance with retention policies.

Action tracking and follow-through:

• Maintain a centralised action log across ALCO and risk committees.

Stakeholder engagement and 1:1 review:

• Plan working sessions with key stakeholders to review complex ICAAP/ILAAP/WDP and risk topics ahead of formal committee review.
