About Job

The Risk Manager will support the Group Chief Compliance & Risk Officer (CCRO) in strengthening and scaling StashAway’s Group-wide Enterprise Risk Management (“ERM”) framework across multiple jurisdictions and business lines.

This role sits within the Group Risk & Compliance function and focuses on business and operational risk management across the organisation, excluding dedicated technology and cyber risk ownership. The individual will work closely with Country Management, Product, Operations, Compliance, Finance, Data, and Technology teams to embed strong risk management practices while modernising and automating the way risk is managed across the Group.

This is a hands-on role for someone who combines strong operational risk fundamentals with a builder mindset. The ideal candidate is curious about AI, automation and agentic workflows, and is excited to leverage no-code/low-code tools and AI-enabled processes to improve how business processes and controls across various teams in the Group can be re-designed and re-set.
