- Define and undertake proportionate control assessment, including determining the purpose, scope, evidential requirements and appropriate testing and analytical approaches; evaluating whether the evidence obtained is sufficient to support the conclusions reached; and maintaining a clear, complete and defensible record of the work performed and judgements reached.
- Apply a proactive and solutions-focused approach to resolving review matters, reducing complex topics to their essential components, developing reasoned positions and determining the appropriate route to resolution, progressing matters independently where possible without unnecessary delay, and involving appropriate stakeholders where focused input or decisions are required,



with an assessment of the issue and a proposed route forward where possible.
- Lead review related stakeholder engagement, applying appropriate challenge to ensure that relevant information, evidence and rationale are complete and adequately supported.
- Develop robust, evidence-based review outcomes that clearly substantiate the conclusions and proposed control-effectiveness ratings and, where remediation is required, formulate proportionate recommendations that address the identified weaknesses and define the required outcomes.
- Actively manage Compliance Calibration and Effectiveness review and programme delivery, maintaining forward-looking plans; managing timelines, competing priorities, dependencies, risks, issues and decision requirements; identifying emerging delivery risks and implementing timely mitigation or recovery actions; providing transparent communication and escalation; and preparing clear and decision-relevant reporting for governance and senior-management review.
- Track programme recommendations and remediation activity and validate whether agreed actions have been implemented effectively and supported by appropriate evidence.
- Drive the continuous development and optimisation of the Compliance Calibration and Effectiveness programme, identifying and implementing opportunities to strengthen its design, execution and outcomes, and ensuring that the supporting methodology, documentation and guidance remain effective and fit for purpose.
- Support Data Management and Information Security initiatives, taking end-to-end ownership of assigned topics through to completion.
