- Act as the primary liaison for ensuring that all risk documentation meets the standards of local and international regulators (e.g., Basel III).
- Proactively identify regulatory or operational gaps within existing policies. Navigate the internal approval process, ensuring all policies are vetted by Legal and Compliance as necessary before reaching the Risk Committee.
- Oversee the implementation of new policies across the business. Ensure that Commercial and Operational teams understand their limits and responsibilities through clear communication and training.
- Synthesize complex policy changes into executive summaries for the Risk Committee and Board of Directors, highlighting impacts on the institution’s risk profile.
- Stay adjourned and adhere to the latest AML/CFT policies and procedures.
Qualifications and skills:
- Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Economics, or Law. Advanced certifications such as FRM, PRM, or CFA are highly preferred.
- Minimum 5 years in Risk Management, Regulatory Compliance, or Internal Audit within the financial services sector.
- Deep understanding of the 3 Lines of Defence model and the regulatory landscape for small-to-mid-sized financial institutions.
- Practical exposure to risk concepts, policies, or controls within a regulated institution
- Good understanding of risk frameworks, governance expectations and regulatory guidance affecting risk (MFSA / EBA)
- Exceptional technical writing skills and the ability to negotiate and build consensus among diverse stakeholders (Business vs. Control functions).
What we offer:
- Welcoming and professional environment;
- Work with a proactive, forward looking Team;
- Professional growth;
- Internal/External Learning and Development opportunities.
- Attractive salary;
- Health, Life and Personal Accident insurance cover; and
