Job Description

As Head of Risk Framework, you will report to the Director of Risk & Governance and lead a team of three Risk Managers and one Risk Analyst. You will own the organisation's risk management framework end-to-end — ensuring it is robust, proportionate, forward-looking and aligned to regulatory expectations and industry best practice. You will also lead the ORSA process, oversee high-quality risk reporting to Executive and Board committees, and act as a senior advisor on risk governance, appetite and emerging risks. This is a role for someone who enjoys both strategic thinking and hands-on leadership, with significant exposure to senior stakeholders across the business.

Job Responsibility

  • Own and continually enhance the organisation's risk management framework, including appetite, taxonomy, governance and policies
  • Ensure alignment with strategy, regulatory expectations and emerging best practice
  • Lead periodic framework reviews, embedding lessons from incidents, stress testing and regulatory feedback
  • Oversee production of clear, insightful and decision-useful risk reporting for Executive Committees, the Risk Committee and the Board
  • Ensure reporting highlights key exposures, trends and emerging risks, and links risk profile to appetite and strategy
  • Drive continuous improvement in reporting quality and presentation
  • Own and coordinate the ORSA process, ensuring strong articulation of risk profile, capital needs and forward-looking solvency
  • Support scenario design, stress testing and reverse stress testing
  • Act as a key point of contact for regulators and internal stakeholders
  • Advise Executives and Board members on risk framework and risk profile matters
  • Build strong relationships across Finance, Capital, Actuarial, Compliance, Internal Audit and first-line teams
  • Promote a strong risk culture and practical understanding of the framework
  • Ensure the framework and reporting meet regulatory expectations
  • Support regulatory reviews and inspections relating to risk management and ORSA
  • Provide input to internal/external audit and oversee remediation where required.

Requirements

  • Senior-level experience in enterprise risk management within Lloyd's or a regulated financial services environment
  • Deep understanding of risk frameworks, Board-level reporting and ORSA best practice
  • Proven ability to influence and challenge at Executive and Board level
  • Strong analytical and written communication skills, with the ability to translate complex risk concepts into clear insights.

Nice to have

  • Experience engaging directly with regulators
  • Knowledge of capital, solvency or stress-testing frameworks
  • Professional qualifications such as IRM, CII, CFA or actuarial credentials.

What we offer

  • Competitive salary
  • Discretionary annual bonus
  • Minimum 27 days of annual leave (with the option to buy more)
  • Flexible, hybrid working
  • Private health insurance
  • Life assurance
  • Income protection
