Join us as Level 1 Permanent Control Coordinator to take on a structural challenge: making Qonto's first line of defence genuinely own its control framework. You'll build the Level 1 Target Operating Model from scratch, run the Risk & Control Self-Assessment (RCSA) cycle, and produce the risk cartography and governance reporting that keeps regulators and leadership aligned, under the guidance of Maxime, our Operational Risk Manager.
➡️ What you'll do
Design the Level 1 control plan: Roll out a unified control framework across all Qonto teams, defining minimum standards for control objectives, owners, procedures, evidence requirements, and remediation logic.
Own the RCSA-based risk cartography: Build the Risk & Control Self Assessment methodology with business teams and maintain a first-line risk cartography aligned with the broader risk framework.
Define and deploy the Level 1 Target Operating Model: Formalize roles, processes, escalation routes, and first-line/second-line interactions, then drive adoption across the organization.
Produce governance reporting: Consolidate Level 1 control execution data (completion rates, failed controls, remediation status) and present to the Risk Committee and relevant governance bodies.
Keep LoD1 and LoD2 genuinely separate: Act as the first-line counterpart of Internal Control, ensuring first-line teams own their framework independently.
