The role

What you'll do

You will support the Senior Economic Crime Risk Assessment Manager in managing and syndicating the BWRA tool, associated training materials and bespoke methodology, ensuring they remain aligned with relevant regulatory requirements. You will also design and deliver BWRA training to promote a consistent understanding and application of the methodology across relevant stakeholders.

You will manage an effective Nationwide-wide BWRA operating cycle and reporting framework, while overseeing the completion of the BWRA exercise in line with the published methodology. In addition, you will work collaboratively with the wider Economic Crime Risk & Compliance team and stakeholders across the business to ensure BWRA objectives are delivered within agreed timescales.

You will review and analyse BWRA outputs, identifying potential issues and constructively challenging outcomes where appropriate. You will also assess the quality and completeness of submissions, supporting evidence and rationale, ensuring outputs are robust, consistent and suitable for senior management and governance reporting.

Additionally, you will provide proactive issue management, escalation and reporting relating to the BWRA tool, its completion and associated reporting through agreed governance channels. You will support the tracking of actions, issues and enhancement opportunities through to resolution, helping to ensure clear ownership, accountability and timely delivery.

You will participate in threat assessment and horizon-scanning activities, ensuring the BWRA tool, methodology and reporting continue to reflect emerging economic crime risks, legislative developments and regulatory expectations. You will also identify opportunities to improve the BWRA methodology, tooling, guidance and reporting, helping to create a simpler, more consistent and effective assessment process.

Finally, you will develop and distribute regular and ad hoc BWRA reporting, including the production of management information outside the annual post-completion reporting cycle.
