Your role will also involve supporting presentations to investors and external stakeholders, working closely with the Global Risk Lead for Insurance and business teams.

What you offer

• At least 5‑6 years of relevant experience in developing or executing non‑financial risk management frameworks, ideally within an alternative investment manager, fixed income manager, or insurance company
• Proven ability to perform in a fast‑paced, output‑focused environment as a well‑organised self‑starter with a flexible, can‑do attitude
• Experience and exposure to derivatives trading, trading environments, and technology
• No prior actuarial experience is required; however a good understanding of modelling mechanics will set you apart from other applicants.
• Comfortable with complexity and new processes, with the ability to think through risks and controls from first principles
• Strong understanding of business control environments and technology, with prior experience in risk management, operational risk, or internal audit
• Excellent analytical, lateral thinking and communication skills, with the ability to build strong relationships and confidently present to stakeholders
• Ability to autonomously lead deep‑dive risk and control assurance reviews, provide risk advice on projects, and synthesise complex information into key messages
