Are you seeking greater flexibility to work from home?

Or are you looking for your first managerial role where you can learn from a highly talented CRO?

This opportunity is with an established, niche insurer. It is a fully remote role, allowing you to work from home every day.

Within 2nd line, you will partner with 1st line operations across Claims, Underwriting, and Distribution to support risk identification, assessment, mitigation, and monitoring activities.

You will oversee and challenge 1st line risk management processes, controls, and decision-making, especially regarding operational and conduct risks. You will support the enhancement of the company's risk management framework, lead RCSAs, develop risk assessments, and monitor risk appetite with 1st line stakeholders.

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

This role offers scope for you to make it your own and encourages continuous challenge to improve the risk culture across the business.

We are looking for an experienced Risk professional from the Financial Services sector. Broad experience across multiple risk disciplines, including Operational and Conduct Risk, is preferred. Insurance experience is advantageous but not essential.

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