Reporting into our Director of Non-Financial Risk, you’ll be providing significant contribution to the development and evolvement of our Enterprise Risk strategies and frameworks to minimise and control our business risk. Under your leadership, your team of Business Risk Managers and Analyst will work with all areas of the business to be embedded into ‘the business’/first line and ensure appropriate risk assessments/registers are completed, and identify mitigating actions to maintain key controls.
You will be responsible for monitoring our risk profile against the risk appetite - developing valuable insight and risk reporting which would be shared with the Board, Executive Committee, and relevant committees.

So, we're looking for someone naturally curious who keeps up-to-date with external trends and insights and will help us develop and constantly keep our Risk policies, minimum standards, templates, and tools up-to-date to ensure they're still fit for our business and ensure we're behaving safely while growing!
What else you'll be doing:
Developing and maintaining the overall Risk assurance plan (even though some of the reviews may be delivered by other risk teams), including any deep dive risk reviews linked to non-financial risks/ business risks
Producing the ‘Own Risk and Solvency Assessment’ (ORSA) report in partnership with our Insurance & Market Risk team and the Model Validation teams
Implementing Enterprise Risk assessment methodologies, models, and systems and provide thought leadership and guidance for new operational risks through internal and external developments
Promoting a strong awareness of risk management across the business and ensuring the group has a robust approach to operational resilience
Supporting the Non-Financial Risk Director in maintaining and enhancing risk governance and oversight, via structured and ad hoc or change-related activities such as the extension of the framework to cover the strategic risks and consider the ‘Emerging Risks’ which the organisation faces
Recruiting, leading, and empowering your team to be a high-performing, value-adding team!
Facilitating the running of the Operational Risk Committee
What we’re looking for:
Extensive experience in Risk Management, gained within an Insurance, Financial Services or consulting environment, with a focus on non-financial and operational risk
Proven ability to lead and develop high-performing teams
Strong knowledge of risk frameworks, policies, and methodologies
Experience producing or contributing to ORSA reports
Excellent analytical skills with the ability to turn data into meaningful insight for senior stakeholders including Board and Executive Committees
Confident communicator, skilled at influencing and challenging at senior levels across the business
Demonstrated ability to stay informed and respond to emerging risks, market trends, and regulatory changes
Hours: 35 hours (Monday - Friday)
