AddressCompliance Assurance
Glasgow
As a Barclays Compliance Assurance, you will support Compliance in achieving its mission, purpose and objectives by providing an assurance capability to meet the demands of a world class Compliance function. Undertaking assurance reviews you will use your expertise to assess and report on Conduct and/or Reputational Risk Management, behaviours and attitudes. This is an exciting opportunity to be part of a global team with a mission to innovate, drive change and deliver excellence.
Barclays is one of the world's largest and most respected financial institutions, established in 1690, with a legacy of success, quality, and innovation. We offer careers that provide endless opportunity – helping millions of individuals and businesses thrive, and creating financial and digital solutions that the world now takes for granted.
At Barclays, we offer a hybrid working experience that blends the positives of working alongside colleagues at our onsite locations, together with working from home. We have a structured approach where colleagues work at an onsite location on fixed, ‘anchor’, days of the week, for a minimum of two days a week or more, as set by the business area (or nearest equivalent if working part-time hours). Please discuss the working pattern requirements for the role you are applying for with the hiring manager. Please note that as we continue to embed our hybrid working environment, we remain in a test and learn phase, which means that working arrangements may be subject to change on reasonable notice to ensure we meet the needs of our business.
