This is a hybrid role, with one day per week in the Merseyside office and the remainder working flexibly from home.

The Role

As Risk Manager, you will support and enhance the Group’s risk management framework, ensuring risk identification, mitigation, monitoring and governance processes operate effectively across all business areas.

You will collaborate closely with senior stakeholders, business leaders, and functional teams to embed a strong risk-aware culture and deliver practical, proportionate solutions.

• Embedding effective risk incident management processes
• Leading the implementation and ongoing management of Risk Management software
• Supporting governance across resilience and operational resilience frameworks
• Performing risk assessments across all business functions
• Providing oversight on outsourced providers, suppliers and delegated arrangements
• Leading the Internal Policy Management framework
• Partnering with Internal Audit on key risk areas
• Researching industry best practice to improve risk analysis and reporting
• Building strong internal relationships and influencing stakeholders at all levels
• Embedding a proactive risk culture across the organisation

About You

You will ideally have:

• Proven experience in risk management within Insurance or Financial Services
• Strong experience conducting risk assessments and testing risk controls
• Experience enhancing governance and risk frameworks
• The ability to lead projects and deliver structured risk reporting
• Experience supporting and influencing colleagues on their risk responsibilities
• Strong analytical and reporting skills
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• A proactive, solutions-focused mindset
• The ability to operate independently and take ownership of initiatives

You’ll be someone who is naturally inquisitive, tenacious when investigating areas of concern, and committed to continuous improvement.

Why Apply?

• Join a respected, established insurance business
• Make a tangible impact on governance and operational resilience
• Work with senior stakeholders across the business
• Hybrid working with only one office day per week in Merseyside
• A role offering both strategic influence and hands-on involvement
