Risk Lead

Risk Lead

Ready to take ownership and make a real impact?

We're working with an ambitious, growing financial services business looking to appoint a Risk Lead to take ownership of its risk function and support its next stage of growth.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who enjoys building, improving and refining processes rather than working within a rigid corporate environment. You'll have the freedom to bring new ideas, challenge existing ways of working and play a key role in shaping the business.

The role

*

Take ownership of the company's risk function, policies and procedures.

*

Lead and develop risk processes, ensuring they support sustainable growth.

*

Oversee credit, operational and portfolio risk.

*

Identify potential risks and implement practical solutions.

*

Work closely with senior leadership to balance commercial opportunities with risk.

*

Drive improvements, introduce new ideas and develop a strong risk culture.

*

Provide leadership and guidance across the wider business.

What we're looking for

*

Senior experience at Head of Risk, Head of Credit or Director level.

*

Essential: Direct experience within invoice finance and/or payroll.

*

A background in a growing SME, scale-up or entrepreneurial financial services business.

*

Strong knowledge of credit risk, lending and portfolio management.

*

Experience owning and improving processes, rather than simply following established frameworks.

*

A hands-on, commercially minded approach with strong leadership skills.

*

Recruitment or staffing industry experience would be a real advantage.

What's on offer?

*

A senior position with genuine autonomy and influence.

*

The opportunity to shape and develop the risk function.

*

A growing business where your ideas and experience can make a real difference.
