About The Role

Join us in revolutionising risk insight, analysis and reporting across MO. We’re driving the evolution and integration of risk activities, creating a more sustainable model that maximises efficiency and accuracy.

Delivering innovative, user-friendly and reliable business reporting and analysis that meets key stakeholder requirements is our mission. We identify trends and make strategic recommendations for future focus and development.

Who you’ll be working with

The Business Risk team are part of the Business Risk & Compliance function that sits within the Finance Division.

The team is a key component of MO’s second line function as part of MO’s approach to the 3 lines model for risk management. Risk is owned by the first line business areas with the Business Risk team supporting, advising and capturing key risks and ensuring the appropriate approach to mitigation and control, ensuring risks are managed within the appetite defined by the business.

Our 12-month placement programme is built on three key pillars:

Making an Impact, Personal Development and the Project.

Making an Impact – get involved in meaningful work that adds real value from day one. You’ll support your team’s goals and help deliver work that makes a difference – for your team, and for the people we do it all for: our customers.

Personal Development – build your confidence and skills through mentoring, learning sessions and events – all designed to support your growth and goals.

The Project – work with other students to lead a project that creates real, positive impact.

Our programmes go above and beyond just the day job. You’ll gain valuable experience in your chosen business area while also having the space and opportunity to challenge yourself and develop your skills.
