Risk Transformation Lead - Financial Services

I am seeking an experienced Risk Transformation Lead to join a dynamic and forward-thinking risk management team within a leading financial services organisation. This role will play a pivotal part in a multi-year clearing transformation programme, where you will lead risk-related activities and ensure regulatory and operational standards are met.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Lead risk management efforts for the transformation of the clearing service, ensuring alignment with overall modernisation goals.
  • Act as the primary liaison between the transformation programme and internal risk experts, covering market, liquidity, collateral, and quantitative risk areas.
  • Define both functional and non-functional requirements for the target platform.
  • Oversee regulatory compliance and contribute to decision-making to strike the right balance between risk management and commercial objectives.
  • Engage with external stakeholders, including regulators and clearing members, to ensure risk management standards are maintained.
  • Collaborate with internal teams such as Enterprise Risk, Operational Resilience, and other business units to align solutions with broader business requirements.

Skills and Experience Required:

  • Extensive experience in risk management within clearing and post-trade environments, gained in either market infrastructure providers or consultancy.
  • Deep understanding of CCP (Central Counterparty) risk management practices and FMI (Financial Market Infrastructure) operational resilience.
  • Knowledge of UK/EU regulations affecting clearing house design and operations.
  • Proven experience in the design and implementation of clearing systems.
  • Strong analytical skills, along with the ability to work to tight deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
  • Excellent communication and negotiation skills with internal and external stakeholders.

Personal Attributes:

  • A forward-thinking, agile mindset with a strong attention to detail.
  • Strong persuasion and influencing abilities, especially when dealing with senior stakeholders.
  • Ability to adapt and develop new expertise in line with business needs.

This role is based in a collaborative and supportive team, offering an exciting opportunity to make a significant impact on a critical transformation programme.

If you have the relevant experience and are excited about leading risk management efforts on a large-scale transformation programme, we encourage you to apply.
