Transformation Risk Consultant

Senior Manager, Technology & Change Risk | Hybrid (London / Home Counties) | Up to £95k

Most second-line risk roles ask you to police a framework. This one asks you to think. A regulated financial services organisation is partway through a major transformation, and its newly refreshed risk leadership team needs someone who can look at a cloud migration, a data programme or a stalled change initiative and say clearly what matters, why, and what to do about it.

You'll challenge the first line constructively, hold your own with ExCo, and stay pragmatic about where the business actually is.

The Role

Lead second-line oversight of technology, data and change risk across a multi-year transformation programme Challenge first-line teams on programme, cloud and data risk, with commercial judgement rather than checklists Brief executive stakeholders, including senior technology and data leadership, with clear, decision-ready risk insight Design and run scenario analysis that starts from business strategy, not methodology Shape a proportionate technology and operational risk approach that fits the organisation's maturity Lead and develop a small risk team Bring momentum: pull stakeholders together, unblock issues and drive actions to completionWhat We're Looking For

Experience of technology, change or operational risk in a regulated financial services environment, either in-house or in consulting Ability to move quickly from strategic framing to detailed analysis and back again Confidence presenting to and challenging senior executives Working understanding of cloud, data and programme delivery risk (you don't need to be a technologist) Strong written communication: you can write a paper an executive will actually read A pragmatic mindset and the energy to make things happenNice to have

Consulting background (manager level or similar) in risk, regulatory or technology advisory Programme or project leadership on regulated transformation or remediation work Exposure to enterprise risk management, operational resilience or PRA expectationsBackgrounds in risk consulting, regulatory programme delivery and ERM are all welcome. Breadth and judgement matter more than years spent in one discipline.
