Senior Talent Advisor at 1st Central Insurance and Technology Group

At 1st Central, we’re all about doing things smarter, faster, and with a healthy dose of challenge - and we’re looking for someone who thrives on that. If you’re an experienced Risk professional who loves working with senior leaders, challenging the status quo, and influencing big decisions across the business, then keep reading – this could be your perfect next move.

We’re on the hunt for a Group Risk Manager who will act as a trusted partner and subject matter expert, ideally in Customer Operations and/or Technology risk, helping to guide and support risk practices across our Group. You’ll work with senior leaders, sit in on governance meetings, and play a key role in keeping our Risk Management Framework both robust and future-fit.

We’re big on flexibility. Our teams are spread across Salford Quays, Manchester and Haywards Heath, West Sussex, but most of us work from home most of the time. We think collaboration is pretty great though, so we like to get together now and then - just to keep those creative sparks flying. Prefer being in the office more often? That works for us too. We’re even open to remote working - all we ask is that you join us in person about once a month to stay connected and keep those face-to-face vibes alive.

Must-have skills to be successful in this role:

• Extensive Risk Management experience - you know risk inside-out and can apply it at a high, strategic level.
• A natural relationship-builder with senior management - you’re confident engaging, influencing, and partnering with execs and senior stakeholders.
• A solid grip on FCA and GFSC regulations – you understand what good looks like in regulated environments and can help others live up to it.
• Influencing and networking with senior leaders - you’re skilled at guiding conversations, building consensus, and driving meaningful outcomes at the top level.

Sound like your kind of challenge? This is a great opportunity to make a genuine impact in a forward-thinking organisation. You’ll be right at the heart of risk strategy, working alongside senior leaders to shape how we manage risk and protect the future of the business.
