Job Description
Candidates must be based in the UK with full right to work
A rapidly growing international financial group is looking to appoint an Operational Risk Manager to play a key role in its first line of defence. This is a standout opportunity to join an ambitious and well-capitalised business at a time of expansion, with excellent visibility to senior leadership, exposure across trading desks, and the chance to influence the evolution of its global risk framework.
You’ll be joining a firm with a strong footprint across the UK, US, and APAC, where collaboration, agility and ownership are valued. The right person will bring both technical knowledge and a practical, solution-oriented mindset to drive forward operational resilience and risk culture across the business.
The Role:
- Take ownership of operational risk reviews across key business areas, including front office and trade support functions
- Actively assess current risks and controls, identifying vulnerabilities and supporting teams to close gaps
- Drive meaningful insights through risk incident analysis, feeding into continuous improvements and policy development
- Partner with teams across regions to promote consistent standards and embed risk thinking into day-to-day decision-making
- Contribute to the preparation of governance materials and risk committee updates
- Monitor trends, emerging threats, and lessons learned, ensuring forward-looking risk management
- Represent first line risk change initiatives, new product proposals, and operational enhancements
Your Background:
- Proven experience in operational risk, business controls or enterprise risk, ideally gained in a trading, markets or investment environment
- Understanding of operational risk methodologies, including risk assessments, scenario analysis, and risk appetite frameworks
- Commercially aware with the confidence to challenge constructively and advise the business on risk decisions
- Strong communicator who can work with senior stakeholders across multiple locations and time zones
- Detail-driven, but also capable of thinking strategically about long-term improvements and cultural impact
- Comfortable working autonomously, managing multiple priorities, and adapting to change
- UK-based and authorised to work in the UK
This role is ideal for someone looking to step into a fast-moving, globally connected business with the scale to offer genuine career development, and the culture to make your voice heard. If you’re ready for your next challenge in a risk function that’s at the heart of the business, we’d love to hear from you.
