As a Barclays Trading Controls Programme Project Management Office (PMO), you will be joining Markets Change Execution team within Chief Operating Office area. In your new role, you will be instrumental in implementing and managing Execution Risk effectively. You will also be responsible in delivering on our Group strategy, satisfying all our stakeholders, and delivering our initiatives consistently and transparently. Lastly, you will ensure initiative delivery is managed in line with the relevant Policies and Standards.

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.

• Drawing insights from available information to inform daily delivery - such as challenging progress, prioritisation of resources or stop/start/continue decisions
• Supporting the Programme and/or Project Managers in assessing the risks from the change, including the tracking of thematic issues, early identification of RAIDs
• Collaborating with Project and/or Programme Manager, using their experience and insight to help challenge efficiency to maintain a focus on delivering outcomes

What we're looking for:
