More about our mission and what we offer.
Job DescriptionWorking alongside an existing team of CASS & Safeguarding specialists, you will report to CASS Oversight Officer and Safeguarding Accountable Owner and assist the existing controllers and product managers in ensuring the UK CASS & safeguarding control framework runs smoothly. This role offers a fantastic opportunity to learn about the handovers between both regimes. You will also be joining at an exciting time of regulatory change and will have the unique opportunity to help drive the uplift to the CASS 15 requirements for safeguarding.
Your Mission
● You will play a crucial role in ensuring that our resolution packs across both CASS and Safeguarding remain accurate
● You will be responsible for ensuring completeness of our policies and procedures and coordinate with individual controllers to obtain attestations of the controls operation and alignment to the controls framework
● You will be responsible for maintaining the CASS and Safeguarding Risk and controls matrix for the UK entities
● You will be responsible for the annual review of acknowledgement letters and account completeness
● You will be the first point of escalation of discrepancies identified by the Reconciliations team for CASS reconciliations and provide SME advise on their resolution and treatment
● You will be involved in the incidents management process and link incidents to control failures, which will enable senior management to see themes within the control environment
● You will be responsible for CMAR and other safeguarding regulatory reporting preparation
● You will be responsible for the CASS and Safeguarding annual audit coordination
● You will help document, challenge and build an end-to-end view of our internal control environment to illustrate key risks, controls and processes. This will all be done within our internal risk management software
Opportunities
● Own your own path of success - You’ll have a high level of autonomy and responsibility.
● Grow with the role - You will have the exposure and opportunity to speak to key senior members of the organisation, getting into the details of remediation steps. You will be able to develop your technical skills and knowledge by being involved in several change management programmes relating to regulatory uplifts across different territories, as well as working alongside our engineering teams to ensure new new product and feature implementations are CASS and safeguarding compliant.
● Stepping stone - This role provides an excellent platform for someone looking to step into the CASS & Safeguarding function of a fast-growing Fintech.
● Develop an in-depth knowledge of Wise’s business - Get to know many teams across the business as you partner with them as part of day-to-day activities.
A bit about you
● Technical knowledge - You have a good level of understanding of CASS and Safeguarding in the UK and would like to expand this through hands-on experience. Our ideal candidate has a good understanding of CASS 6 & 7. Further experience across other CASS chapters is not required but an advantage.
● Practice - You have sound writing skills and ability to convey CASS and Safeguarding regulation in a clear manner to fellow colleagues who are not CASS or safeguarding SMEs and communicate key risks related to these regulations
● Theory - You are keen to learn more about Fintechs and the inner workings of an organisation dealing with high volume transactions.
● Love getting things done - You are not afraid to roll up your sleeves and take responsibility to do whatever needs doing to solve problems. You take a proactive approach in resolving complex issues. We get it done!
● Commercial acumen - You understand the value of taking a balanced approach to risk and controls to support the growth of the business.
● Collaborative - You work well in a multinational team environment and know how to have an impact through others. No Drama Good Karma! Our CASS & Safeguarding team is spread across the globe, but mainly in London and Tallinn, so there could be some travel involved for treasury wide initiatives.
