Glasgow
As a Barclays Structured Transactions Group (STG) Controller, you will have general oversight responsibility for transactions executed by the STG team impacting the Intermediate Holding Company (IHC) – the regulatory entity in the US - and Barclays Group. This includes stakeholder management and review of work produced by the STG Finance team. This is an opportunity to be the key point of contact for the STG desk and will be expected to proactively manage those relationships.

We offer careers that provide endless opportunity – helping millions of individuals and businesses thrive and creating financial and digital solutions that the world now takes for granted.

Please discuss the working pattern requirements for the role you are applying for with the hiring manager. Please note that as we continue to embed our hybrid working environment, we remain in a test and learn phase, which means that working arrangements may be subject to change on reasonable notice to ensure we meet the needs of our business.
