Description
Department: Risk
Location: London, UK
As a Senior Manager in the Financial Market Risk team, you will not merely observe risk from the periphery; you will be instrumental in building for the future. Convex Group’s flat hierarchy and use of technology provides the opportunity to move beyond narrow technical remits and engage with the genuine big picture. We operate in a way that prioritises agility and direct impact. This role offers significant business partnering opportunities, requiring you to collaborate closely with Investment, Treasury, and Actuarial teams to inform and influence our risk appetite.
Based in our London office, you will report to the Head of Financial Market Risk, enjoying a high degree of involvement in decision-making and a line of visibility that sits just two steps from the Group Chief Risk Officer. We are looking for a sophisticated practitioner who values the chance to help shape a leading global insurer during an ambitious phase of its evolution.

- An understanding of risk management methodologies such as Value-at-risk (VaR).
- Experience of risk-based economic and capital models such as Solvency II and BSCR is a plus.
