Glasgow

As a Barclays Operational Resilience Risk Manager, you will be part of the Operational Risk team within the Risk function. You will be part of the team that owns and manages Barclays’ Operational Risk Framework, which sets out how operational risks are identified, assessed, and managed across the Group. Operational Risk focuses on potential or actual impacts to the Group resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people, systems, or from an external event. 

Barclays is one of the world's largest and most respected financial institutions, established in 1690, with a legacy of success, quality, and innovation.
