Are you seeking greater flexibility to work from home?

Or perhaps you're aiming for your first Manager-level role, where you can learn from a highly talented CRO?

This established, niche insurer offers such opportunities.

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

Role Overview

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

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

This role offers scope to make it your own and encourages continuous challenge to the status quo, fostering a strong risk culture across the business.
