What We’re Looking For
- Experience in Enterprise or Operational Risk within the insurance industry (e.g. GI, Life, Lloyd’s, Reinsurance).
- Strong knowledge of insurance regulatory expectations (e.g. FCA, PRA, Solvency II, SMCR, ESG disclosures).
- Demonstrated expertise in building and optimising risk and control frameworks.
- Proven track record in risk transformation, remediation or assurance programmes.
- Ability to map, analyse, and enhance end-to-end risk processes across front, middle, and back office functions.
- Experience leading teams in a consulting or advisory setting, including project governance and delivery ownership.
- Expertise in proposition development, account management, and driving revenue growth.
