Financial Services | Hybrid Working | Competitive Salary + Benefits
W&A is partnering with a growing financial services group to appoint a Prudential Risk Manager – Capital, Liquidity & Treasury Risk.
This is an excellent opportunity for someone with experience across prudential risk, capital, liquidity, treasury risk or regulatory frameworks who is looking for a role with genuine scope to grow, develop and make a visible impact.
The business is continuing to evolve, and this role will play an important part in supporting that growth by helping to strengthen, develop and enhance the Group’s capital and liquidity frameworks, strategic risk assessments and prudential risk capability.
Working closely with Finance, Treasury, Risk and senior leadership, you will help ensure the Group remains financially resilient, well governed and able to support its strategic objectives.
The Group operates across multiple regulated entities and regulatory regimes, including MIFIDPRU, IPRU-INV 5 and UK Solvency II, making this a broad and technically interesting opportunity for someone who wants exposure, ownership and long-term development.
The Business
The organisation is a growing financial services group with a clear focus on supporting advisers, customers and long-term financial outcomes.
The business has continued to develop its platform, proposition and operating model, creating a more sophisticated and increasingly complex group environment. As it grows, there is a real opportunity to further strengthen the way capital, liquidity and prudential risk frameworks are managed across the business.
The culture is collaborative, values-led and people-focused, with a strong emphasis on doing the right thing for customers while giving colleagues the opportunity to contribute, develop and make a visible impact.
For someone who wants to be part of a business that is still evolving, rather than simply maintaining an established process, this role offers a strong platform for growth.
The Team & Hiring Manager
You will work closely with an experienced senior leader who brings an excellent background across financial services, risk, governance and regulatory environments.
The hiring manager is keen to appoint someone who can grow into the role, not simply someone who has already done every part of it before. They are looking for someone with strong foundations, curiosity and the confidence to take ownership, while continuing to develop their technical and commercial judgement over time.
This is a good opportunity for someone who wants access to senior stakeholders, guidance from an experienced manager and the chance to build their capability across capital, liquidity, treasury risk, regulatory assessment and strategic prudential risk work.
The successful person will be given visibility, support and room to develop as the business continues to grow and mature.
The Role
This is not a narrow reporting role.
You will be involved in key prudential risk deliverables across the Group, including ICARA, Group Capital and Liquidity Assessment, stress testing, scenario analysis, wind-down planning and recovery-related activity.
The role would suit someone who enjoys combining technical regulatory understanding with financial analysis, stakeholder engagement and practical business impact. You will be expected to interpret complex regulatory and financial information, translate analysis into clear recommendations and support decision-making at senior management, committee and Board level.
Key Responsibilities
You will be involved in:
- Managing the end-to-end ICARA process for MIFIDPRU entities, including risk assessments, wind-down analysis, capital and liquidity adequacy assessments, stress testing and governance approvals
- Supporting the development and ongoing enhancement of the Group Capital and Liquidity Assessment
- Delivering and improving capital and liquidity stress testing, including scenario design, model outputs, analysis of outcomes and reporting to senior stakeholders
- Identifying surplus or constrained capital and liquidity positions at entity and Group level
- Working closely with Treasury and Finance to recommend capital and liquidity optimisation actions
- Supporting the development and review of the Group’s risk appetite framework, including quantitative thresholds for capital and liquidity
- Maintaining and enhancing early warning indicator monitoring
- Designing and facilitating fire drill exercises to test recovery and wind-down scenarios
- Monitoring prudential regulatory developments and assessing the impact on capital, liquidity and risk management frameworks
- Enhancing MI, dashboards and reporting packs for senior management, committees and Board-level forums
- Engaging with stakeholders across Finance, Treasury, Risk, business functions and senior leadership
- Helping embed a strong prudential risk culture across the business
About You
You will likely bring experience from financial services, ideally gained in one or more of the following areas:
- Prudential risk
- Treasury risk
- Capital management
- Liquidity risk
- Regulatory capital
- Financial risk
- Recovery and resolution planning
- Stress testing
- Regulatory reporting or regulatory advisory
You do not need to have done everything in the role already. The business is open to someone with the right foundations, appetite and capability to step into a broader remit and continue developing.
You should have experience leading or materially contributing to one or more of the following:
- ICARA / ICAAP
- GCLA
- ORSA
- Capital and liquidity adequacy assessments
- Wind-down planning
- Recovery planning
- Capital or liquidity stress testing
- Risk appetite framework development
- Prudential regulatory analysis
You will also bring:
- Strong understanding of prudential regulatory expectations and good industry practice
- Exposure to frameworks such as MIFIDPRU, IPRU-INV 5, UK Solvency II, ICARA or wider capital and liquidity adequacy requirements
- Strong financial modelling, cash flow analysis, forecasting or stress testing capability
- The ability to turn complex analysis into clear, practical recommendations
- Strong Excel, PowerPoint, MI and reporting skills
- Excellent planning, coordination and stakeholder management skills
- Confidence engaging with stakeholders across Finance, Treasury, Risk and senior leadership
- A proactive, structured and detail-oriented approach
- The appetite to keep learning, take ownership and grow with a developing business
A professional qualification such as CA, ACCA, CIMA, AMCT, CFA or similar would be beneficial, but relevant experience, technical curiosity and the ability to operate well with senior stakeholders will be most important.
Why Apply?
This is a strong opportunity for someone who wants more than a process-driven prudential risk role.
The role offers:
- Genuine scope for growth and development
- The opportunity to work under an experienced and supportive senior leader
- The chance to shape and enhance capital and liquidity frameworks
- Exposure to a growing financial services group with increasing complexity
- A broad remit across capital, liquidity, treasury risk and prudential regulation
- Close interaction with Finance, Treasury, Risk and senior leadership
- Involvement in high-profile regulatory, governance and strategic risk work
- The chance to take ownership, build confidence and develop into a broader senior-facing role
- Hybrid working, strong benefits and a collaborative culture
