Head of Risk – Exclusive to JCW recruitment
Our client, a considerably-sized global banking organisation headquarted in Asia but with a growing UK presence, is currently looking to hire a new Head of Risk, following the incumbent's planned return to the Head Office. Fundamentally responsible for all risk managment for the UK business, with the appropriate FSA approvals, the eventual role holder will face off to senior stakeholders across the multi-site firm. Responsibility will span credit, market and operational risk management, primarily in retail and corporate banking - this position will also involve the management of a number of direct reports across these risk-type areas.
Applicants must have broad ranging experience across the risk management environment, with a particular focus on credit risk, at a senior level. Financial services experience, specifically exposure to corporate lending, is an essential requirement at this stage. Applicants must have some degree of people management experience, and must be naturally confident in facing off to senior members of the business globally. Please note that this role will involve direct liaison with the regulators.
The business has an ambitious growth plan in place for the coming years in the UK, with specific plans to expand their corporate lending book in the domestic market considerably. The client is seeking a career-focused individual who is keen to make significant steps in their personal development over the long term, and an individual who is commercial enough to add value to the business as a whole.
