    Head of Risk - Glasgow, United Kingdom - Hymans Robertson LLP

    Default job background
    Description

    Our award-winning Insurance & Financial Services (I&FS) practice has grown significantly in recent years, and our continued aim is to be the leading advisors in our areas of specialism – in investment & asset liability management, in risk and capital management, in products, and in longevity. We have ambitious plans and, have had phenomenal success in the life insurance market and, increasingly, in the non-life market. We are also expanding our client base, beyond the UK, with a reasonable amount of our revenue coming from clients based outside the UK.

    We therefore have an exciting opportunity for an experienced, high-calibre, revenue-focused risk professional to take on a role in our award-winning I&FS practice. This role will head up our overall Risk proposition, combining the qualitative and quantitative aspects of risk management – with responsibilities spanning life and non-life clients both within and outside the UK.

    Key Responsibilities

    The role-holder will be a key part of the I&FS leadership team, working with the rest of senior management to implement the next phase of our strategic growth plans, as well as supporting the day-to-day operations of the practice. The specific area of responsibility will be in building out our Risk proposition – primarily within the qualitative and non-financial areas of risk management, supplementing our quantitative risk management expertise to provide a complete Risk proposition.

    This role-holder will not only help to win new client engagements and grow new and existing client relationships, but will play a key role in delivering assignments, primarily in the area of risk management – covering UK and, ideally, international markets.

    This role-holder will help to leverage wider parts of the firm, including our Risk Transfer, Investment and Digital teams, for the benefit of our I&FS clients.

    The role-holder will also play a lead role in marketing activity, including thought leadership materials and presenting at both internal and external conferences.

    The Candidate

    • You will be a recognised industry leader (ideally having held a Chief Risk Officer role within the life or non-life industry), with proven experience of generating revenue and of leading the delivery of large and complex projects.
    • You will have strategic business acumen and knowledge of the issues, challenges and opportunities facing life and non-life insurers and reinsurers, in the UK, in Europe and beyond.
    • You will be determined and proactive, with high levels of energy, motivation and enthusiasm.
    • You will have an excellent network of contacts with a proven ability to leverage this and to grow revenue.
    • You will have high emotional intelligence, excellent interpersonal skills, and be comfortable in engaging with senior stakeholders (actuarial or otherwise), including Board members, their advisors, and their regulators.
    • You will have a clear, straightforward communication style, and be able to explain complex ideas in a straightforward way to lay audiences.
    • You will be willing and able to travel where necessary

    Qualifications and Experience

    • You will be a highly experienced senior actuary or risk professional, with deep practitioner-level insurance expertise gained in the UK, in Europe, or further overseas.
    • You will have very strong knowledge of the key areas of Risk:
      • Emerging Risks
      • Governance frameworks and policies
      • Investment / ALM Risk
      • Management of risk controls and setting risk appetites
      • Model risk management
      • Non-financial Risk (Operational, IT, Cyber etc)
      • Own Risk & Solvency Assessment
      • Recovery and resolution planning
      • Risk dashboards / MI
      • Risk target operating models
      • Stress & Scenario Testing
      • Target Operating Model
      • Validation
    • You will have very strong knowledge of Solvency II – both in the UK and in Europe – and, ideally, knowledge of equivalent regulatory regimes, e.g. Bermuda.
    • You will be able to demonstrate proven success in mentoring and in supporting the development of the next generation of the practice's leaders and consultants.
