Job Description:

Insurance

Looking for greater flexibility to work from home?

Or perhaps you’re seeking your first Manager grade role where you can learn from a highly talented CRO?

This is an established, niche insurer offering such opportunities.

This is a fully remote role, allowing you to work from home every day.

In this role, sitting within the 2nd line of defense, you’ll partner with 1st line operations across Claims, Underwriting, and Distribution to support risk identification, assessment, mitigation, and monitoring activities.

You’ll oversee and challenge 1st line risk management processes, controls, and decisions, especially regarding operational and conduct risks. You’ll support the development and execution of the company’s risk management framework, lead RCSAs, develop risk assessments, and monitor risk appetite with 1st line stakeholders.

You’ll assist in preparing and delivering risk and compliance reports to senior management, Board committees, and regulatory bodies as needed.

There is ample opportunity to make this role your own, and you’ll be encouraged to challenge the status quo to help develop the risk culture within the business.

We are seeking an experienced Risk professional from the Financial Services sector, ideally with broad risk experience across multiple disciplines including Operational and Conduct Risk. Previous insurance experience is advantageous but not essential.

You should have experience developing risk assessments, executing RCSAs, and possess an analytical mindset, curiosity, and a willingness to learn. Excellent communication skills are essential.
