Job Description

You’ll be providing significant contribution to the development and evolvement of our Enterprise Risk strategies and frameworks to minimize and control our business risk. Under your leadership, your team 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. This also means you'll be trusted to challenge our risk profiles and appetite with our internal stakeholders, through thoughtful review and analysis.

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 organization faces
• Recruiting, leading, and empowering your team to be a high-performing, value-adding team!
• Facilitating the running of the Operational Risk Committee

Hours: 35 hours (Monday - Friday)
