Role Summary

The Risk Manager leads the design, embedding and continuous improvement of the firm’s enterprise risk management (ERM) framework across operational, regulatory, legal, reputational and financial risk. As part of the second line of defence, the role provides independent oversight, constructive challenge and clear reporting to
senior leadership and governance committees, helping the firm deliver professional services confidently within its agreed risk appetite.
