capital - capital.com - Chief Risk Officer (Group)
Requirements
• Deep multi-jurisdictional regulatory knowledge - FCA and CySEC are essential; ASIC, DFSA, CMA, and MiCA/CASP experience are a strong advantage • Proven track record building or materially maturing a risk function - not just maintaining one that already works • Strong technical depth across market risk, operational risk, regulatory capital, and digital resilience (DORA) • CFA or FRM preferred - exceptional experience may substitute • How you operate • You move without being directed. When you see a problem, you act on it - you do not wait to be asked. • You take end-to-end ownership. You drive outcomes. You do not pass the buck. • You bring fresh thinking. You do not default to how it was done in your last role. • You listen. You build trust across teams. You develop the people around you. • You are commercial. You understand that risk management exists to enable growth - not to obstruct it. • You are board-ready. You can hold your own in a regulator meeting, an ExCo debate, or a conversation with the founder.
