ARAG UK Risk Officer Opportunity
ARAG UK has an excellent opportunity for a Risk Officer to join our Risk Management department in Bristol.
Playing a key role in supporting the delivery and continuous improvement of ARAG UK’s risk framework, the successful candidate will work closely with the Risk Manager(s), risk team, and wider business to help identify, assess, and monitor key risks across all business areas.
As a key member of the team, you will provide risk assurance and constructive challenge to ensure controls are in place and operating effectively. You will also contribute to strategic planning and operational decision-making, helping to build a risk-aware culture in a supportive and engaged business. This is a great opportunity to work with stakeholders at all levels, whilst supporting regulatory compliance and the delivery of the business’ strategic goals.
You will bring prior risk management experience and be able to deliver focused risk oversight in specific areas. You’ll be comfortable applying modern best practice in a dynamic, forward-thinking environment, with the opportunity to build technical specialisms across a wide-ranging risk framework.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Using your communication and influencing skills, you will review and challenge the business’ management of key risk types. You will support confident commercial decision-making through First Line risk identification, measurement, management, monitoring, and reporting processes and you’ll be active in supporting colleagues to identify, assess, and manage risk events within their business.
About You
You will have a solid understanding of risk management and enjoy building relationships across the risk team and the wider business through ongoing engagement, support, and collaboration. A qualification in risk management would be advantageous; however, we are also open to supporting candidates who are developing their career within risk.
In addition, we are looking for candidates who can demonstrate the following:
- Prior experience in overseeing and running day-to-day risk management processes and materials; e.g. risk registers, risk reporting, risk event triage, etc.
- Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.
- Proactive, adaptable, and committed to continuous improvement.
- Able to engage stakeholders early and help shape decision-making.
