- Providing an opinion on the practical effectiveness of the QA framework to Compliance and Operations, contributing towards process improvement.
- Conducting ad hoc quality assurance assessments, where required.
- Administering NFS’ QA Appeals process, ensuring that QA assessments escalated for appeal are reviewed appropriately and recorded accurately.
- Maintaining excellent and up-to-date knowledge of NFS’ products, systems, and processes, along with a good understanding of operational and regulatory risk.
- Assisting the wider Risk and Compliance Team with the practical embedding of any changes to the QA framework due to regulatory changes.
- Assisting the Risk and Compliance Team with risk management assurance activity in relation to the QA framework through initiatives such as ‘check-the-checker’.
- Producing regular performance reports and management information to facilitate effective oversight of the function.
- Ensuring that the QA Team adheres to all company policies and procedures.
- Participating in the delivery of ad hoc projects set by the business from time to time. Hosting collaboration sessions with sales, customer service, and claims management to ensure the QA framework is understood, enforced consistently, and embedded within the company culture.
