The Role Responsibilities
The CCIB Regulatory Enablement Team sits within COO for the Corporate, Commercial & Institutional Banking (CCIB) business.
The team provides CCIB with capabilities to drive regulatory programs and initiatives across the CCIB businesses and often pan-bank, working in an agile operating model with each segment and product area. Such regulatory programs and initiatives may include:
· Complex/Large Scale Regulatory Change;
· Material Policy changes;
· Internally-driven programs supporting the management of regulatory interactions and change (for example, how we engage with our regulators and track resulting regulatory actions and commitments);
· Changes resulting from topical strategic risks (such as US/CN geopolitical risks)
Due to the nature of these programs and initiatives, the team support not only the CCIB Business but also more broadly collaborate and engage across other divisions in the Bank to ensure delivery.
The CCIB Regulatory Enablement Team enables proactive impact assessment of regulatory initiatives and requirements, coordinates the approach and interpretation across businesses; and partners with business and technology teams to implement solutions in a consistent and coordinated manner.
The team is currently working on a number of global and local deliveries, including for example the design of a pan-bank baseline operating model for managing regulatory change as part of the cross-functional Managing Regulatory Change (”MRC”), a collaboration across First Line of Defence (“1LOD) and Second Line of Defence (“2LOD”) teams. The target operating model will address inconsistencies in managing regulatory change, and for example standardise the approach to managing the Bank’s regulatory engagements and actions/ commitments with our regulators.
The role holder will have familiarity and experience with managing regulatory projects and an ability to drive effective solutions. The role will primarily provide direct project management to drive the delivery of CCIB regulatory programs and initiatives and/or their corresponding workstreams, along with ability to provide business analysis and change management insights/capability.
The role presents an exciting opportunity to work across a diverse range of risk areas, and all aspects of the CCIB business, including interaction with 1LOD and 2LOD teams. The role will support the Bank in delivering against and complying with applicable regulations and/or regulatory actions, to effectively manage our risks across geographies.
