Chief Controls Office Careers
A truly united global team
Barclays CCO (Chief Controls Office) is integral to Barclays: a dynamic, forward thinking, unique global team. We are united by a shared vision, absolute consistency of approach and process, and a laser focus on results. We’ve transformed Controls at Barclays into a single centralised, connected, collaborative team of 900 people working the same way across the UK, New York, Asia and India.
Our shared vision
CCO is united in a single, shared vision: to sustain and strengthen our control foundations by providing a first-class controls service. We exist to make Barclays a safer, stronger, more effective, more efficient and more trusted bank for our customers, clients and colleagues. As the bank transforms and grows, we are there on that journey, making sure this vital growth can happen safely and securely.
Part of our job is to be an integral part of Barclays, making sure we stay within control. To meet our strategy, our business needs and our regulatory requirements, as well as our customers’ needs.

This makes CCO an inspiring, fast-paced place to work, where every day presents new challenges to be solved.
What do we look for in our people?
CCO is a diverse community, but we all share certain qualities that make us the close, effective team we are. We all passionately demonstrate the Barclays mindset: empower, challenge and drive. We value sharpness of thinking, openness, simplicity and integrity and we know that we can only be fully trusted if we are unafraid to challenge and ask questions. Our credibility is built on our ability to communicate well and network to the highest level: this is why we are given a seat at the table where the important decisions are made. Everyone on the team is adept at interpreting data so we can identify future control issues.
