Trading Controls & Audit Remediation Consultants -...
Timeline: Late June to end of 2026
Seniority Level: Experienced consultants, 5 to 9 years’ experience
Location: London hybrid, minimum two days onsite per week
Role Overview
Vantage Point is partnering with a leading consultancy to appoint experienced consultants to support a major UK banking group with a significant trading controls remediation programme.
The programme is strengthening the bank’s first-line trading control environment across its corporate and institutional banking, treasury, and commercial banking businesses. The consultants will join established client teams and deliver defined work packages across controls design, remediation, audit validation and regulatory closure activity.
These roles require senior, hands-on practitioners with direct experience of trading controls, audit remediation or second-line validation within a global investment bank. General project management, governance or advisory experience without strong controls expertise will not be sufficient.
Key Responsibilities
Depending on your experience, you will support either controls remediation or audit and validation activity.
Controls Design and Remediation
Identify gaps and weaknesses within existing trading control frameworks
Design, document and implement controls to address identified gaps
Support the uplift of first-line control frameworks across banking, markets and treasury environments
Deliver defined remediation work packages against critical programme milestones
Assess trading risks and ensure controls provide appropriate coverage
Apply relevant peer-bank experience and industry good practice
Produce clear control documentation, process maps and supporting evidence
Work closely with business, risk, compliance and programme stakeholders
Support regulatory remediation and skilled-person review activity, including Section 166 programmes
Contribute to evidence packs required for internal and regulatory attestation
Audit and Validation
Support audit and second-line testing of remediated controls
Review control design and operating effectiveness
Gather, assess and organise evidence from business and control owners
Conduct control walkthroughs with relevant stakeholders
Identify evidence gaps and coordinate actions required for closure
Prepare high-quality audit and regulatory closure packs
Support the resolution and closure of audit, assurance and regulatory findings
Coordinate activity across first-line, second-line and internal audit teams
Maintain accurate records of testing, findings, actions and supporting evidence
Escalate delivery risks, evidence gaps and potential control weaknesses promptly
You Should Have
5 - 9 years’ relevant professional experience
Significant experience within a global UK or US investment bank
Direct experience within a markets, trading or treasury control environment
Strong knowledge of banking control frameworks and associated trading risks
Experience delivering controls remediation, audit remediation or regulatory transformation
Practical experience of first-line controls, second-line oversight or internal audit
Strong analytical skills and attention to detail
The ability to review complex processes and translate risks into effective controls
Clear written communication and strong control-documentation skills
Confidence working with senior stakeholders across business, risk, compliance and audit
A delivery-focused approach and the ability to operate effectively within a time-sensitive remediation programme

We are recruiting the following profiles:
Senior Trading Controls Consultants:
Six to nine years’ relevant experience
Strong controls design, implementation or remediation experience
Direct experience within markets or trading control environments
Experience delivering first-line or second-line control uplift

Experience delivering audit or regulatory closure activity
Previous involvement in Section 166 or comparable regulatory remediation
