The role: As Liberis and Qred come together, you’ll help strengthen second-line risk oversight across the combined organisation. You’ll develop and embed our risk framework, carry out independent reviews, and improve how we identify and monitor risks across businesses and markets. This is a new individual contributor role based in London, working with the risk team and colleagues across countries. You’ll provide independent challenge and practical recommendations to support informed decisions and responsible growth. A key priority will be moving from manual, sample-based testing towards more automated, ongoing monitoring. You’ll gain broad exposure across the organisation, with opportunities to deepen your specialism and shape how the risk function develops. What you'll get to do: • Help develop and update the risk framework, including policies, instructions and risk appetite statements, and support its implementation through training and day-to-day guidance. • Contribute to the annual second-line risk plan, using risk assessments to identify which processes and areas need independent review. • Plan and deliver risk reviews, assess whether controls are working, and communicate clear findings and practical recommendations. • Help automate control testing and key risk indicator monitoring, using systems and AI tools to make oversight more continuous and effective. • Stay close to the business to identify emerging risks, including changes in regulation, market activity and internal processes. • Build relationships with stakeholders while maintaining independent oversight: listen to their perspective, challenge assumptions and make risk concerns clear. The interview process: • Screening call with Chess (Internal Recruiter) (30 mins) • Video interview with the Hiring Manager (1 hour) • Case study interview (90 mins) • Video interview with the wider Liberis team (1 hour) What we think you'll need: • Experience delivering risk management or independent review work, with the ability to explain your findings and their implications for the business. • An understanding of how risk frameworks, risk appetite and controls work in practice, and how second-line oversight differs from first-line risk ownership. • The judgement to turn regulatory requirements and risk findings into actionable recommendations. • The ability to assess evidence, investigate concerns and reach well-supported conclusions. • A collaborative approach to stakeholder relationships, with the confidence to challenge constructively and deliver difficult messages. • The ability to plan reviews and projects, manage competing priorities and follow work through to completion. • An interest in using AI and systems to improve risk monitoring, and a willingness to learn new tools.
