Developing narratives that help businesses understand, prioritise, and mitigate non-financial risks effectively

The skills you'll need
We're looking for someone with the ability to influence senior business leaders and ensure risk insights translate into practical business decisions, backed by strong knowledge of Non-Financial Risk and Risk Management Frameworks.

In addition, you’ll need:
A solid understanding of AI, and automation tools for risk intelligence
Experience designing real-time, dynamic risk dashboards using Tableau, Power BI, or Qlik
