Head of Risk

Description

The objective of the risk team is to deliver, coordinate and continuously develop an effective framework that provides the tools to enable FNZ to identify, assess, control and monitor risk and through that framework manage risk within the appetite of the business, our clients and regulators.

The Business Risk Partner works in the 2nd line of defence and brings both experience and knowledge of risk management tools and frameworks. Their practical experience and achievements in similar roles will demonstrate their ability to provide oversight of the operational risk environment and their ability to challenge the business across the core elements of the framework. While FNZ is technology business, the role requires wider experience within operational risk, ideally within a fast-paced regulated environment with exposure to MiFID regulations.

The role will support the implementation and maintenance of the Risk Management Framework to support FNZ’s business plan and the regulatory environment it operates in. This includes provision of oversight of the application of risk management policies and procedures and working with the business to facilitate the understanding and embedding of these within FNZ.

The duties and responsibilities of this role will include the following :

Risk Management Framework :

• Provide support (and, where necessary, challenge) to key business stakeholders in their implementation of FNZ’s risk management framework.
• Drive the implementation and embedding of a risk and control self-assessment process.
• Design and deliver an effective risk assurance programme.
• Consider the appropriateness of KRI metrics and threshold calibration and challenge the first line’s assessment of risks associated with above threshold indicators.
• Represent the risk function at the appropriate governance committees of FNZ (Europe) Dac (including the Management Risk & Compliance Committee, New Business Committee, Change Release Board).
• Represent FNZ (Europe) Dac at Client Joint Risk & Compliance Forums.
