Risk Manager I'm working with a high-growth Managing General Underwriter (MGU) that’s entering a really exciting phase of its journey — and they’re looking to bring on a Risk Manager to help build and embed their enterprise risk and operational risk framework from the ground up. This isn’t a BAU role — it’s a real opportunity to own and shape how risk is managed across the business. You’ll be reporting into the CRO, but you’ll have a lot of autonomy and visibility with senior leadership. It’s ideal for someone who enjoys the hands-on side of risk: designing frameworks, setting up risk registers, defining appetite, implementing controls — all within a commercial underwriting environment that values agility and fresh thinking. The Role – What You’ll Be Doing: • Build out the ERM framework from scratch — nothing templated, lots of influence • Oversee all things operational risk: controls, incidents, processes, mapping • Create and refine policies, KRIs, risk appetite statements • Work directly with underwriters, ops, compliance, IT — great cross-functional exposure • Act as a trusted advisor and challenger to the business on key decisions • Lead the production of risk reports for boards and exec teams • Help embed risk culture in a growing, ambitious business What They’re Looking For: • Strong background in enterprise or operational risk – ideally within insurance or financial services • Experience working in a build-out or transformation environment is a big plus • Comfortable working across the business and driving change • Knowledge of regulatory expectations (FCA/PRA/Lloyd’s/etc.) helpful • Someone who’s hands-on, proactive, and commercially aware • 5-6 years experience ideally within Insurance in to Risk Management Reach out on Tanveer@weareedenbrook for me details
