Senior Manager – Capital Management

If you are looking for a new challenge, have a great understanding of capital risk and management, and want the opportunity to shape and support a business-critical team, this could be the role for you.

As our new Senior Manager – Capital Management, you’ll take ownership of the Society’s Capital Management processes, including internal and regulatory reporting, risk appetite, analysis, policy, controls, and the production of plans/forecasts and the Society’s ICAAP. You will also be responsible for ensuring that key stakeholders, including the regulator and Board, are adequately engaged with the Society’s capital position and that processes are constantly being upgraded to befit the expectations of a growing institution.

You’ll be responsible for making sure we have the appropriate policies, standards, and controls in place to ensure compliance with both regulatory and internal requirements and the Society’s strategic objectives. You will be responsible for ensuring that the Society incorporates best practise, keeping abreast with ongoing regulatory and internal requirements.

You’ll be expected to influence at all levels, across your team, peers, stakeholders (up to board level), 2nd and 3rd line as well as the regulator and other external parties.

This role sits within the newly formed Balance Sheet Control function and it’s a brilliant time to join the team.
