Company Overview:
Insight Investment is a leading asset manager focused on designing investment solutions to meet its clients’ needs.

Founded in 2002, Insight’s collaborative approach has delivered both investment performance and growth in assets under management. Insight manages assets across its core liability-driven investment, risk management, full-spectrum fixed income, currency and absolute return capabilities.

Insight Investment is owned by BNY Mellon, a global leader in investment management and investment services.

Insight has a clear mission and purpose to offer investors a different approach to achieving their investment goals; one that prioritises the certainty of meeting their chosen objectives in contrast to the traditional focus on maximising return and minimising volatility.

Insight takes responsible investment seriously. In our view, it is as an essential part of deciding whether an investment is fair value. Insight is a signatory to the Financial Reporting Council’s UK Stewardship Code and a founding signatory to the UN-supported Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) in 2006.

Insight has a global network of operations in the UK, Ireland, Germany, US, Japan and Australia.

Position Description:
The role seeks to assist the Investment Risk Manager in monitoring, advising, and reporting to Senior Management (and appropriate boards and committees) that investment risks are being effectively managed & identified and that the business is compliant with relevant regulation.

In addition to helping ensure Insight Europe meets its regulatory expectations around risk management, the role is important in identifying, analysing, and quantifying key investment risk exposures and communicating appropriately to the relevant people/committees.

  1. Providing independent 2nd line risk oversight of the investment strategies deployed by the Investment Manager.

    7. Providing support and assistance to the global investment risk function.
    8. Supporting the development of enhancements to risk reporting.
    9. Developing and maintaining risk policies, procedures & processes
    10. Assisting in maintenance and coordinating of updates to Risk Management Process
    11. Produce certain regular and ad-hoc reporting including assisting in investment risk thematic reviews of different investment strategies.
