Job Description
The Position
As Operational Assurance Lead, you will give the business independent confidence that our controls work as we scale into new products and new markets. Your focus is evidence. You will test whether controls are designed properly and operating properly, confirm readiness before we launch and give leadership a clear view of where growth is running ahead of control maturity.
The wider team owns governance frameworks, identifies & quantifies risk and strengthens compliance. You own the testing, the evidence and the independent opinion on whether controls are actually working. That separation is deliberate and it is what makes the assurance credible to leadership, auditors and customers.
You will work closely with International Operations, Legal, Product, Payroll Operations and other teams to bring assurance into decisions early rather than validating them after the fact.

Controls Effectiveness Testing
• Own controls effectiveness testing across payroll, compliance and operational processes, covering both design effectiveness and operating effectiveness
• Maintain a rolling assurance plan prioritised by exposure, regulatory risk and scale rather than testing everything at equal depth
• Set the evidence standard for testing, including sampling approach, what counts as sufficient evidence and how results are documented
• Track control gaps and failures through to remediation with
