7 months ago

Warrington, United Kingdom optimise Risk Limited Full time

**Graduate / Assistant Risk Practitioner**

**Location: Warrington, UK**

**Industry: Infrastructure, Nuclear, Aviation and Aerospace**

We have a fantastic opportunity to join the team at optimise as an Assistant Risk Practitioner in our Warrington office. This is an ideal opportunity to join an innovative and growing Risk Management specialist organisation with a proven track record of defining best practise risk management principles and implementation with significant national and international clients. We’re a small company that does big projects. We have a significant niche in our market, allowing us to attract talent with a modern approach to the problems of Risk Management with the motivation to act quickly and strategically for the benefit of our clients and the discipline at large.

As a member of the team you will be given a full training and development programme called The Academy which will guide you through both professional certifications and qualifications as well as a comprehensive coaching and mentoring scheme supported by some of the most experienced and highly regarded individuals in the industry.

After an initial training phase with the Partners, you will be given hands-on experience with some of our major clients, helping you to build your confidence in your new career and having the opportunity to ask questions to re-enforce and enhance your learning whilst implementing it, with the knowledge of steadfast support of the optimise partners behind you. We have a clear career pathway which is designed to develop you into the next generation of risk professional.

You will join a firm with a focus on innovation, education of its workforce and pride in the value it creates to help mitigate some of the world’s most significant problems. We recently helped one of our major clients develop their first Risk App which won an award at the CIR Risk Management Awards and one of our employees is in the process of launching our podcast, the first of its kind in the industry. We have lots of other examples like this where we’ve been able to deliver value to our clients through our innovative thinking and we’d love it if you were excited to help us grow through innovative ideas.

We’re devoted to providing a great work-life balance and compensation package. We regularly arrange team outings and other social events as we believe this is important to our success. We’re passionate about personal and professional development and we actively invest in our employees. One of the benefits of working for a smaller firm is that you will have direct access to learn from all of the Partners and you will likely advance in your career much quicker than on a standard ‘career ladder’. We’re a tight-knit, friendly team and we value the relationship we build with our clients. We don’t stretch ourselves thinly across a vast number of clients but instead dedicate ourselves to add exceptional value to our select customers.

Some of the perks, which we will continue to build upon are:

- flexible use of annual leave for Religious festivals, holy days and observances, and other days that have meaning to your culture, religion or lifestyle.
- Regular team building events
- Paid day off for your birthday
- Flexible working following probationary period (dependent upon client requirements)
- Discretionary bonus based on achievable objectives and overall company performance
- Clear and achievable career pathway
- Supported transition from training programme into client-facing role - we don’t just chuck you in at the deep end

**Skills & Requirements**:
An understanding and demonstrated use of project management disciplines or business governance is desirable although this is not essential.

The ability to navigate complex theories is required so agile thinking is a must, alongside the ability to assess situations and communicate findings effectively to clients.

Ideally you would possess a combination of the following competencies:

- Innovative
- An inquisitive and questioning attitude
- Outgoing and energetic personality
- Embraces personal and professional development
- Motivated and disciplined
- Tenacious
- Open mind
- Respectful, moral and honest
- Team player and collaborative
- Sensitive to the needs of others & can develop warm client relationships
- Have a willingness to travel (if necessary)
- Flexible attitude to work

Technical Skills - For this role you will require some Risk Management technical competence:

- Risk Management processes and frameworks

Technical Skills - Familiarity with a combination of the below will be advantageous but not necessary:

- Quantitative Risk Modelling
- Corporate finance or maths
- How businesses work
- Regulatory frameworks
- Analytical mindset
- Theoretical background or interest in decision making/ game theory
- Behavioural Psychology
