Risk Manager

Remote with Occasional Travel | Up to £80,000 + Benefits


I am supporting a growing Payments FinTech in their search for a Risk Manager to establish and lead their risk function. This is a unique opportunity to build a robust risk framework for a forward-thinking, FCA-regulated business at the forefront of digital payments innovation. With the freedom to work almost entirely from home, this role offers unparalleled autonomy and the chance to make a significant impact.


About the Business

This Payments FinTech combines agility with excellence, offering cutting-edge solutions while adhering to strong governance and traditional values. The company is seeking a driven professional to design and manage their enterprise-wide risk strategy, ensuring compliance and resilience across operational, financial, compliance, and strategic areas.


The Role

As Risk Manager, you will be instrumental in shaping the organization’s risk landscape. Key responsibilities include:

  • Developing a Risk Framework: Create and implement a comprehensive risk management framework aligned with ISO31000 standards, including the tracking of Key Risk Indicators (KRIs) and reporting on major operational and security incidents.
  • Enterprise Risk Management: Own and mature the company-wide risk assessment process, providing actionable insights to senior management and the risk committee. Ensure emerging risks are identified, assessed, and mitigated.
  • Distributor Risk Oversight: Assess and monitor the risk profiles of e-money distributors, manage incidents and breaches, and ensure alignment with reporting obligations and performance metrics.
  • Governance and Reporting: Act as secretary to the risk committee, preparing detailed packs, maintaining accurate meeting records, and providing clear recommendations to strengthen corporate governance.
  • Audit Management: Oversee internal and external audit activities, ensuring scopes are approved, findings are addressed, and progress is tracked effectively.
  • Outsourcing Risk: Conduct initial and ongoing risk assessments of outsourced services, develop KRIs, and collaborate with compliance and operations teams to mitigate potential risks.
  • Project Oversight: Provide risk advice on internal projects, including operational resilience, DORA, data privacy, and fraud prevention, while ensuring risks are appropriately documented and managed.


About You

  • Proven experience in a similar risk management role within banking, payments, or FinTech.
  • Knowledge of ISO31000 standards and a track record of aligning risk frameworks accordingly.
  • Strong understanding of FCA regulations and experience working in an e-money or payments environment is advantageous.
  • Proficient in creating risk dashboards, heatmaps, and board-level reporting.
  • Numerate with advanced Excel skills; SQL and Jira knowledge are a plus.
  • Exceptional organizational and communication skills, with the ability to present complex ideas clearly to senior stakeholders.
  • A self-starter with the ability to navigate ambiguity, multitask, and deliver actionable outcomes.


What’s on Offer?

This is a rare chance to take ownership of a critical function within a dynamic and innovative Payments FinTech. Offering a competitive salary, flexibility to work remotely, and the autonomy to shape your role, this opportunity is ideal for a proactive risk professional looking to make a meaningful impact.
