Job description

Role Responsibilities

risk is an increasingly important area for LSEG and plays a key role in how we support long-term business resilience and responsible growth.

As Risk Senior Manager, you'll help develop our approach to risk across the Group. Working within the second line of defence, the role provides independent oversight of risks and supports a consistent approach to identifying, assessing and monitoring risk across LSEG. You'll work closely with colleagues across Risk, and the business to help ensure considerations are embedded into decision-making, governance and risk management processes.

This is an opportunity to influence how risk evolves within a global financial markets organisation and to contribute to a risk framework that continues to adapt to changing expectations, regulations and business priorities!

Risk Framework & Oversight

We are looking for someone who enjoys turning complex topics into practical risk approaches and helping organisations build a consistent view of risk.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Maintaining and improving LSEG's risk guidance, taxonomy and supporting methodologies.

  • Defining risk drivers, assessment requirements and oversight expectations across the Group.

  • Embedding risk into enterprise risk management processes, while maintaining an independent view of risk exposure and emerging trends.

Independent Review & Challenge

The role provides oversight and challenge across risk activities, helping ensure risks are understood, managed appropriately and remain within agreed appetite.

This includes:

  • Reviewing risk assessments, controls, mitigation plans and reporting produced by the first line.

  • Identifying common themes, interconnected risks and emerging concerns across divisions and functions.

  • Supporting governance activities where risk input, review or approval is required.

Risk Appetite, Reporting & Insight

Strong communication skills will be important in helping senior leaders understand complex risk topics and make informed decisions.

Responsibilities include:

  • Supporting the development of risk appetite measures, tolerances and key risk indicators.

  • Monitoring risk exposures, highlighting significant issues and contributing to escalation activities where required.

  • Producing reporting and analysis for management, governance forums and Board committees.

Emerging Risk & Strategic Support

risk continues to evolve rapidly. The role helps LSEG understand changing risks and opportunities by:

  • Monitoring emerging trends, regulatory developments and external events.

  • Assessing how these developments may affect the Group's risk profile.

  • Contributing risk expertise to pivotal initiatives, acquisitions, new products and change programmes.

  • Supporting scenario analysis and stress-testing activities.

Governance & Collaboration

Success in this role comes from building positive relationships across the organisation and helping colleagues navigate risk matters.

The role will:

  • Partner with Group , divisional risk teams and business stakeholders.

  • Support governance forums where risk matters are discussed.

  • Deliver guidance, training and practical risk advice.

  • Promote a consistent approach to risk management across LSEG.

External Reporting & Disclosure

The role also supports the review of -related disclosures and reporting activities by:

  • Providing independent input into reporting and external disclosures.

  • Reviewing materiality assessments and risk reporting for completeness and consistency.

  • Assessing alignment between commitments, risk appetite and the Group's risk profile.

Qualifications & Experience

We're interested in speaking with individuals who have significant experience within enterprise risk, non-financial risk or risk management. You will bring a strong understanding of -related risk themes such as climate, nature, human rights, supply chain, conduct and reputational risk, together with experience developing frameworks, governance approaches and risk reporting. The ability to influence and constructively challenge senior partners is essential, as is strong communication and analytical capability gained within a complex and regulated environment.
