Join to apply for the Head of Risk role at FNZ

FNZ is a global FinTech firm, transforming the way financial institutions serve their wealth management customers. We partner with banks, insurers and asset managers to help people achieve their financial goals through our unique combination of technology leadership, innovation and asset servicing.

Our services enable our clients to provide best-in-class wealth management solutions to financial advisers, end-investors and the workplace. We pride ourselves on creating solutions that are flexible, transparent and scalable, reflecting the latest market, demographic and regulatory trends worldwide.

FNZ has experienced exceptional growth in the past decade, both in terms of assets-under-administration and also through the substantial expansion of our international footprint.

Role Description

The Business Risk Partner works in the 2nd line of defence and brings both experience and knowledge of risk management tools and frameworks. Their practical experience and achievements in similar roles will demonstrate their ability to provide oversight of the operational risk environment and their ability to challenge the business across the core elements of the framework. While FNZ is technology business, the role requires wider experience within operational risk, ideally within a fast-paced regulated environment with exposure to MiFID regulations.

The role will support the implementation and maintenance of the Risk Management Framework to support FNZ's business plan and the regulatory environment it operates in. This includes provision of oversight of the application of risk management policies and procedures and working with the business to facilitate the understanding and embedding of these within FNZ.

  • Represent FNZ (Europe) Dac at Client Joint Risk & Compliance Forums.

Delivery / IT / Information Security / BCM / Operational Resilience:
  • Attend monthly 'First Line Risk Forum' meetings for Delivery, providing updates on Risk Management Framework Developments, upcoming assurance activities, and challenging the attendees regarding risk profiles/ project risk logs, control environments and emerging risks.
  • Liaise with and leverage Group Information Risk Team and Group BCM Team (both second line teams with Group Risk function) to assess / determine risk profile for FNZ (Europe) Dac.
  • Provide second line support for the implementation of the Operational Resilience framework within FNZ (Europe) Dac.
  • Ensure significant risk events are escalated to senior management and provide oversight and direction of remediation and root cause analysis from a 2nd line perspective.
  • Ensure mitigating actions are appropriately defined and recorded where risk positions are considered to be above tolerance. Monitor the appropriate completion of actions via reporting from 1st line.

Business Change
  • Provide risk management support to product/service development and proposition developments.
  • Provide risk management support for business critical internal change projects with FNZ Group.
  • Evaluate the risk exposure relating to new business activities / new client business cases, including assessing the appetite to risk and current assessment of the risk associated with these.

Reporting
  • Prepare monthly Risk Management report content for submission to the Management Risk & Compliance Committee and the FNZ (Europe) Dac Board.
  • Manage/prepare relevant Client risk / assurance reporting in accordance with our contractual obligations.

Experience Required

  • Relevant qualifications e.g. CISA, IIA, PMI, Agile, PRINCE, etc
