Job description

Are you keen to work somewhere that’s stimulating and friendly, with loads of opportunities for growth and plenty of freedom to make a real impact? This could be the place for you!

We are looking for an Enterprise Risk Manager to join us at INSHUR! Based in sunny Brighton (sea, chips, and seagulls included), our company embraces a hybrid working model, allowing you to thrive in both collaborative office settings and the comfort of your own home. You’ll have the opportunity to work remotely while connecting with colleagues at our Brighton office at least twice a month, fostering a dynamic environment.

Supported by (and reporting to) the General Counsel, you'll join a friendly team of five who believe that a strong culture of risk and compliance is essential and integrated into everything we do. How we conduct ourselves is as critical to INSHUR’s success as making the best products available to our customers.

We value high performance and care deeply about making INSHUR a place where everyone is building something special, that we can all be proud of, while enjoying the ride.

What You'll Do

As our Enterprise Risk Manager, you will champion risk, driving a proactive risk culture and embedding a strong risk mindset across the business. You will oversee operational risk management and internal controls, ensuring clear and effective risk reporting. Collaborating closely with Risk Owners, you will monitor our evolving risk profile, identify emerging threats, and stay ahead of developments that could impact our operations. Your role is pivotal in shaping a risk-aware organization that balances compliance with strategic growth.

You’ll Be Working On

• Driving Risk Strategy: Supporting the UK Chief Executive, UK Board, and senior management in delivering the Risk Management Plan.
• Overseeing Operational Risk: Reviewing risk profiles, key indicators, and incident responses to ensure robust risk management.
• Enhancing Risk Frameworks: Strengthening risk identification, assessment, and control processes while embedding governance.
• Leading Risk Assessments: Facilitating workshops, overseeing self-assessments, and engaging stakeholders to evaluate and mitigate risks.
• Collaborating Across Teams: Working with business units to embed consistent risk management approaches.
• Managing Risk Appetite: Ensuring risk exposure aligns with business objectives and taking action where risks exceed appetite.
• Handling Risk Events: Investigating incidents, conducting root-cause analysis, and implementing control improvements.
• Strengthening Assurance: Working closely with stakeholders to reinforce the control environment.
• Driving Efficiency: Identifying opportunities to digitise, automate, and streamline risk processes.
• Risk Reporting & Governance: Supporting reporting for committees and boards, contributing to risk assessments, and facilitating decision-making through governance.

While we prioritise aptitude and passion over a strict checklist, we've outlined essential skills for success:

• Enterprise Risk Management Expertise: Ideally within general or commercial insurance, or other financial services.
• Balancing Risk & Growth: Awareness of how to balance risk, control, and growth.
• Innovative Thinking: Curious and proactive mindset, passionate about improving risk processes.
• Stakeholder Engagement: Ability to influence and collaborate across the business.
• Risk Assurance Experience: Proven in conducting assessments and identifying improvements.
• Attention to Detail: Meticulous in assessments and reporting.

Additional skills that could set you apart include experience in scale-ups and knowledge of commercial motor insurance products.

• Navigate ambiguity and find clarity in uncertainty.
• Take pride in accountability and ownership.
• Enjoy a fast-paced, changing environment.
• Are solutions-focused and resilient.
• Are curious, eager to learn, and innovative.

You may not enjoy working here if you:
