Finance Control Analyst Glasgow, Scotland
Job description
Finance Control Analyst
Glasgow
As a Barclays Finance Control Analyst, you will be accountable for providing the full range of control services to the Finance Function to support risk management across the Controls environment. In this role, you will make decisions and propose solutions to support management on long standing or emerging control issues to influence stakeholders on the remediation required. You will work closely with senior colleagues and stakeholders, with a detailed comprehension of the Finance controls environment and ability to influence and oversee it.
Barclays is one of the world's largest and most respected financial institutions, with 329 years of success, quality, and innovation behind us. We offer careers that provide endless opportunity – helping millions of individuals and businesses thrive and creating financial and digital solutions that the world now takes for granted.
We are currently in the early stages of implementing a hybrid working environment, which means that many colleagues spend part of their working hours at home and part in the office, depending on the nature of the role they are in. We’re flexible on how this works and it may continue to change and evolve. Depending on your team, typically this means that colleagues spend a minimum of between 20% to 60% of their time in the office, which could be over a week, a month or a quarter. However, some colleagues may choose to spend more time in the office over a typical period than their role type requires. We also have a flexible working process where, subject to business needs, all colleagues globally are able to request work patterns to reflect their personal circumstances. Please discuss the detail of the working pattern options for the role with the hiring manager.

What we’re looking for:

- Able to influence & deliver in a matrix organisation
- Data driven, able to synthesise recommendations from large and varied sources of data
- Knowledgeable on aspects of Enterprise Risk Management Framework (ERMF), Operational Risk Framework (ORF) and Barclays Control Framework (BCF)
