Risk managers identify, assess, and manage risks to the company’s financial health, develop risk mitigation strategies, and ensure compliance with risk management policies. They monitor financial systems, conduct risk assessments, and report to senior management. Risk managers also develop contingency plans and ensure the organisation’s resilience.
While an organisation may have distinct roles for risk managers, many other roles in financial services such as project managers, business analysts, financial analysts etc. require a fundamental understanding of risk management frameworks.
Risk management roles are typically found across all the financial services subsectors.
Risk Managers can advance to Senior Risk Manager, Head of Risk, or Chief Risk Officer positions.
