Our client is looking for a Senior Risk Manager to join with their team (of 3). The Senior Risk Manager – Transformation & Project Risk is a senior, hands-on role, designed for an experienced risk professional who thrives in complex, fast-moving transformation environments. This is a non-BAU, non-control-based role focused on driving better risk outcomes across large-scale initiatives rather than owning a single risk domain.

The role partners closely with senior leaders and delivery teams and engages regularly with executive-level steering committees. You will take a portfolio-level view of transformation risk, assessing where the organisation is today, where it needs to be, and how to achieve incremental, practical improvements in delivery and risk maturity.

Responsibilities

  • Provide risk oversight across a portfolio of large, complex Consumer Banking transformation initiatives

  • Partner closely with transformation and delivery teams to assess current-state risk maturity, identify issues, and define pragmatic future-state improvements

  • Support and contribute to an enterprise-wide qualitative review focused on:

    • Improving delivery cadence and execution effectiveness

    • Strengthening how risk is identified, managed, and escalated across the transformation portfolio

    • Driving incremental, practical improvements rather than large-scale framework redesign

  • Build a deep understanding of delivery environments by engaging directly with teams and understanding real execution challenges

  • Influence and manage upwards, confidently engaging senior leaders and executive stakeholders through clear insight and practical recommendations

Requirements

  • Proven experience operating in large-scale, complex transformation or project environments – A MUST

  • Strong background in transformation risk and/or project risk – A MUST

  • Experience in risk advisory or enterprise review-style roles

  • Solid understanding of risk and controls, without operating as a day-to-day controls practitioner

  • Ability to operate effectively across all levels, from delivery teams to executive and SteerCo forums

  • Hands-on, curious, and pragmatic, building trust through engagement rather than process

  • Passionate about improving outcomes and delivery capability, not just documenting issues.
