Job Description

Join our dynamic Operations Risk & compliance team where you'll drive operational resilience through strong governance and control discipline. This role offers a unique opportunity to make a tangible impact at the intersection of risk management and business operations, ensuring our organization maintains the highest standards of operational excellence.

About the Role

As a Control and Oversight Analyst you'll operate at the critical junction of governance, controls, and delivery. This first-line role requires a strong control mindset balanced with business pragmatism, going beyond audit readiness to proactively strengthen our operational foundation and drive meaningful improvements across the organization.

Key Responsibilities

  • Proactively assess control effectiveness and execution discipline across operational processes through risk-based monitoring, thematic reviews, and ongoing engagement with business stakeholders
  • Identify and analyze control gaps, emerging risk themes, and operational weaknesses early, translating insights into structured, pragmatic remediation plans
  • Own and drive end-to-end remediation and control enhancement initiatives, ensuring clear accountability, milestone tracking, cross-functional coordination, and sustainable closure
  • Coordinate and manage internal and external audits as a first-line lead, ensuring precise, timely, and high-quality responses while proactively addressing issues before escalation
  • Ensure robust alignment between controls, processes, data, and execution realities, challenging misalignment and driving governance maturity across the process landscape
  • Deliver impactful reporting with concise, senior-ready insights, enabling leadership to understand risk exposure, remediation progress, and areas requiring attention or escalation

About the Team

The Operations Risk & Compliance (R&C) team is a global first-line function focused on enabling resilient operations through strong governance, control discipline, and risk awareness. We work in close partnership with Operations, Risk Management, Compliance, Finance, and Technology, representing the business on emerging risks while ensuring practical, sustainable execution across the operational landscape.

About You

You're a detail-oriented professional who thrives in complex environments and excels at identifying and solving problems. You have a natural ability to build relationships across organizational boundaries and communicate effectively with stakeholders at all levels. Your analytical mindset and structured approach to work enable you to drive meaningful improvements in control frameworks and operational processes

We are looking for candidates who meet these requirements

  • 6-10 years of experience in internal audit, in-house assurance, first-line risk & control, or similar governance roles within complex operational environments
  • Proven track record as a self-driven problem solver who proactively identifies weaknesses and drives practical, sustainable improvements
  • Strong analytical and structured thinking skills, with excellent judgment and the ability to operate independently in ambiguous or fast-moving environments
  • Experience in driving remediation or governance initiatives end-to-end, ensuring disciplined execution and closure
  • Education in Risk, Finance, Accounting, or a related discipline

Our company has a hybrid work model where the expectation is that you will be in the office at least three days per week
