Senior Risk Manager
Buckinghamshire - flexible working available / other UK office locations
An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced Senior Risk Manager to join a large, complex and highly successful organisation at a pivotal stage in the development of its Risk function.
These are newly created roles and offer the opportunity to play a key part in maturing and embedding an enterprise-wide risk management framework, while acting as a trusted 2nd Line Risk Partner to senior stakeholders.
This is not a role focused purely on oversight and assurance. You will work closely with the first line, helping stakeholders understand and take ownership of their risks while providing pragmatic advice, support and constructive independent challenge.
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.

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.
Key areas of focus will include:
- Acting as a 2nd Line Risk Partner to senior business stakeholders
- Enterprise and Operational Risk Management
- Facilitating and challenging RCSAs
- Risk appetite, KRIs and risk reporting
- Control design and effectiveness
- Issues, incidents and risk acceptance
- Supporting improvements in first-line risk ownership and accountability
- Providing insight and reporting to senior management and Risk Committees

What we're looking for
You'll be an experienced Risk professional with a strong background in Operational Risk, Enterprise Risk or Non-Financial Risk, ideally gained within an FCA-regulated financial services environment.

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
You'll need to be comfortable operating as a genuine business-facing 2nd Line Risk Partner – someone who can build credibility with senior stakeholders, understand commercial priorities and provide constructive challenge without simply telling the business what it can't do.
We're particularly interested in people who are curious, proactive and comfortable working independently, with the ability to educate and engage stakeholders in environments where risk maturity is still developing.
This is a particularly exciting opportunity for someone who enjoys building, influencing and improving, rather than simply maintaining an already mature risk framework.
