About the role
This interview focuses on operational risk across payment processes, technology dependencies, people and third parties. The panel wants structured risk assessments, evidence that controls work, thoughtful incident learning and firm but practical follow-through on remediation.
How to prepare
- Revise how to describe a risk event using cause, event and impact.
- Practise assessing inherent risk, control effectiveness and remaining exposure without relying only on labels.
- Prepare an example where you found a control that existed on paper but failed in practice.
- Review root-cause techniques for incidents involving systems, processes and human decisions.
- Think through how you report overdue actions and accepted risks to governance forums.
Common mistakes
- Listing generic risks without connecting them to a specific process or impact.
- Treating a written procedure as proof that a control operates effectively.
- Stopping at human error instead of examining system and process weaknesses.
- Reporting overdue actions without clarifying exposure, ownership and next steps.
