About the job

The Role

The world of financial services is increasingly focused on Risk Management. Risk professionals need to demonstrate acute levels of knowledge, skills and expertise to be effective in assisting the organisation to meet a wide range of risk requirements set out in legislations or required by regulators. To meet these requirements many organisations will have dedicated Risk department that are experts in the relevant legislation/ regulatory requirements.

What are risks?

Risks are everywhere and each day we all make decisions about what risks we are willing to take in our lives and how we can best manage (or control) them to achieve a positive outcome or reduce the effects of a negative outcome.

Key aspects of the role will include:

• Interpreting and analysing risk and control data
• Developing reports on control performance and changes to the risk profile
• Supporting the engagement and advising various Departments on their risks
• Researching into emerging risks (future areas that could threaten our objectives or provide greater opportunities for us to deliver against them)
