We are currently partnering with a global insurance business that’s experiencing exciting growth. They’re looking for a Group Risk Manager to join their 2nd Line Risk function.

This role would suit someone who has already proven themselves in enterprise or operational risk—someone confident in building strong relationships, influencing senior stakeholders, and offering real challenge, not just passive support.

The Opportunity:

1. Support the development and embedding of the enterprise risk management framework, including risk appetite statements, tolerance, and categorisation.
2. Lead and facilitate risk assessments across the group, engaging with senior stakeholders and first- and second-line teams.
3. Analyse and challenge key risk mitigation strategies, supporting the business in achieving its growth objectives.
4. Produce clear and impactful risk reporting for committees and senior management.
5. Drive continuous improvement in risk identification, monitoring, and reporting practices.
6. Lead root cause analysis for risk events and control weaknesses.
7. Help deliver initiatives linked to emerging regulations (e.g., operational resilience, third-party risk, technology risk, and financial crime).

Ideal Candidate Profile:

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