Experience Required 5–8 years of operational risk experience, ideally in a second-line capacity. Background in prime brokerage or capital markets strongly preferred. Experience gained in SMEs or scale-ups advantageous—broad perspective and flexibility valued. Familiarity with FCA-regulated environments and risk governance standards. Confident communicator with the ability to influence and shape a maturing risk culture. A self-starter, proactive mindset, and readiness to roll up your sleeves.
