Risk Reporting Lead

As Risk Reporting Lead, you will shape how risk is understood at the highest levels of the organisation. You will turn complex data into clear, compelling insight that drives decisions across senior leadership, the Executive Committee and the Board.

This is a high‑visibility role where you will own the end‑to‑end risk reporting landscape, influence how risk is interpreted, and continuously raise the bar on the quality, impact and relevance of reporting aligned to Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) standards.

• Own and lead the delivery of enterprise risk reporting cycles, ensuring outputs are not just accurate and timely, but insightful and decision‑ready.
• Transform complex data into clear, powerful narratives that resonate with senior stakeholders and drive action.
• Shape and evolve reporting frameworks, methodologies and templates to improve quality, efficiency and transparency.
• Play a central role in senior governance, producing reporting and presentations for the Board, Executive Committee and key risk forums.
• Challenge and validate data across the organisation, ensuring integrity while drawing out meaningful trends, themes and insights.
• Connect internal risk data with external drivers to bring a forward‑looking, holistic view of risk.
• Identify emerging risks and material issues, ensuring they are clearly articulated, escalated and understood at the right levels.
• Act as a trusted advisor to stakeholders, influencing how risk information is used to support strategic decision‑making.
• Lead continuous improvement initiatives, introducing new ways of working, tools and approaches to enhance reporting impact.

• Strong experience (typically 8+ years) in risk, reporting or data‑driven roles within a complex or regulated environment.
• A track record of delivering high‑quality, senior‑level reporting (e.g. Executive Committee, Board).
• Exceptional ability to turn data into insight and craft clear, compelling narratives.
• Deep understanding of risk frameworks and Enterprise Risk Management (ERM).
• Confidence to challenge and influence senior stakeholders with credibility and impact.

• Experience in financial services or financial market infrastructure.
• Exposure to scenario analysis or stress testing.
• Experience modernising reporting approaches (data visualisation, automation, tooling).
• Understanding of regulatory expectations related to risk reporting and governance.
