We are currently recruiting for an exciting opportunity to join our Group Risk Management team.

Reporting to the Senior Risk Manager, you will support the team in managing and developing the processes and strategy of risk management throughout the IntegraFin Holdings plc group to meet both its business objectives and regulatory requirements.

The Role

Managing a small team, your primary responsibilities will include:
