Interim Risk Manager - 3-6 Month Contract Oxford (Office-Based) ASAP Start

I'm supporting a financial services firm in Oxford that's looking to bring on an Interim Risk Manager for a 3 to 6-month contract, starting immediately. This is an office-based role offering a great opportunity to lead meaningful change within an established organisation.

Following a recent external review, the business is now focused on refining and strengthening its approach to risk. Your role will be to lead the implementation of key recommendations - reviewing current risk practices, updating documentation, and embedding effective processes that will stand the test of time.

Key areas of focus:

Conducting a thorough evaluation of current risks across the organisation

Redesigning the risk register and ensuring it reflects the latest business activities and controls

Creating clear, practical risk management policies and procedures

Enhancing risk reporting tools and governance structures

Working closely with senior stakeholders to ensure accountability and clarity across the risk landscape

Making sure all updates align with regulatory expectations and support the long-term resilience of the business

To be successful, you'll need a solid track record in risk management within financial services, plus the confidence to lead independently, identify what needs fixing, and put effective solutions in place.

The client is ready to move quickly and needs someone who can make an impact from day one.

If you're available at short notice and open to a new challenge, I'd love to speak with you.
