• Produce clear and impactful risk reporting for committees and senior management
• Drive continuous improvement in risk identification, monitoring, and reporting practices
• Lead root cause analysis for risk events and control weaknesses
• Help deliver initiatives linked to emerging regulations (e.g., operational resilience, third-party risk, technology risk, and financial crime)

Ideal Candidate Profile:

• Strong experience in enterprise risk management within financial services, preferably insurance
• Proven ability to implement and enhance risk frameworks across large or growing businesses
• Comfortable challenging stakeholders constructively and offering independent, professional opinions
• Analytical thinker with excellent communication and relationship-building skills
