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.

Within 2nd line, 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 decision-making, especially concerning operational and conduct risks. You’ll help enhance the company's risk management framework, lead RCSAs, develop risk assessments, and monitor risk appetite with 1st line stakeholders.

You’ll prepare and deliver risk and compliance reports to senior management, Board committees, and regulators as needed.

There is scope to make this role your own, with encouragement to challenge the status quo and develop the risk culture.

You should be 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 need experience in developing risk assessments, executing RCSAs, and possess an analytical, curious mindset with a willingness to learn. Excellent communication skills are essential.
