We're supporting a leading global financial services organisation in building out its
Financial Risk Management (FRM) capability in Dublin
, and are now hiring a
Financial Risk Manager at VP or SVP level
.
This is a
broad, high-impact role
within the bank's second line of defence, offering real ownership across regulatory change, financial risk analytics, and stakeholder engagement. The successful hire will act as an
anchor member of the Dublin-based FRM team
, working closely with senior leadership in Dublin and London.
Why this role exists
The bank is experiencing increasing regulatory complexity - particularly from European regulators - and is strengthening its on-the-ground financial risk capability in Dublin. This role is about
ownership, judgement, and breadth
, not a narrow specialism.
The Role
You will take a lead role in supporting and delivering the bank's Financial Risk agenda, including:
* Acting as a
key owner of regulatory-driven initiatives
, including ICAAP, capital, liquidity, market and credit risk topics
* Interpreting new regulatory guidance and translating it into
practical, defensible approaches
for the business
* Leading and supporting
stress testing, concentration analysis and financial risk modelling
(models are pragmatic rather than complex)
* Working across functions to investigate emerging risks and propose solutions to senior stakeholders, up to board level
* Supporting the evolution of financial risk tools and analytics (Excel / Access / EUCs), working alongside BI and IT where appropriate
* Providing
breadth and leadership
within a collaborative "brain trust" environment, where problems are worked through collectively
* Helping establish and grow the
Dublin-based FRM presence
as part of a wider international team
* This is not a pure quant role, and not a narrow policy role but about
owning problems end-to-end
.
About You
We're open to candidates at
VP or SVP level
, and are flexible on background, but you're likely to bring:
* A
broad financial risk background
spanning credit, market and liquidity risk
* Experience interpreting and standing over
regulatory requirements
(e.g. ICAAP, CRR / Basel frameworks)
* Confidence engaging with senior stakeholders and explaining complex issues clearly
* Enough technical understanding to work with models and analytics (Excel / Access / SQL), without needing to be a developer
* Strong judgement, maturity and reliability - someone others trust to "run with it"
* A collaborative mindset and interest in working across disciplines, including occasional exposure to operational risk topic
* Experience in a
smaller bank or lean risk function
is particularly attractive, given the breadth of exposure required.
Why Apply?
* Broad, intellectually interesting role with real ownership
* Opportunity to help
shape and grow a Dublin-based financial risk team
* Strong senior support and realistic onboarding (12–24 months to see the full cycle is expected)
* Competitive compensation at VP or SVP level, plus bonus and benefits
* Collaborative, analytical culture with excellent credibility at board level
