The financial markets have been growing increasingly complex over the last five years and this has resulted in a marked increase in the need for risk management and compliance within financial institutions This has brought tighter controls for corporate firms and a greater need to comply with increasing regulations. As a result the profile and worth of risk and compliance professionals has risen and created a number of new opportunities within the sector for both banking compliance jobs as well as risk jobs in banking.
Our risk consultants are keen to speak to job seekers with experienced product knowledge across Equity Derivatives, Fixed Income Derivatives, Capital Markets, Credit Derivatives, Interest Rates Swaps and Money Markets. Experience within a bank or a 3rd party systems vendor is often pre-requisite and generally you will possess a Master’s degree or Phd.
An increasing demand within financial institutions is anticipated by our new compliance team over the next year. Ideally, you will come from a legal, accountancy or compliance background with a good knowledge of the financial services sector and the ability to interpret FSA rules to ensure companies comply. Previous financial services experience is preferred, although there are some junior roles for people who have worked within a regulated environment with some knowledge of Proceeds of Crime Act (money transfer companies, law firms, accountancy practices).
