Person Specification

The ideal candidate will have at least 2 years risk management experience within Financial Services. You should have direct experience of delivering and/or supporting key risk management processes including facilitating risk and control self-assessments.

You must have a good eye for detail with a commitment to delivering continuous improvement. An ability to collate and analyse data in order to form an initial risk management view is also key to the role.

We offer a competitive remuneration package, including company discretionary bonus, excellent pension contributions, an attractive staff share scheme, BUPA health insurance, buying and selling of annual leave and sponsorship of relevant professional qualifications.
