6-Month Contract | Risk Specialist (FinTech / Cloud Banking Platform)
We’re partnered with a well-known global fintech organisation that provides a cloud-native core banking platform used by banks, lenders, and digital financial institutions. The firm supports clients in launching and managing lending, deposits, payments, and other financial products through a modern API-driven system.
They are now looking for an experienced Risk Specialist to join on a 6-month contract to support risk management activities linked to their platform, clients, and internal processes.
Role Overview
The position sits within the wider Risk & Compliance function and will focus on enhancing the organisation’s control environment across technology, operational risk, and outsourced service considerations.
You’ll play a key role in supporting second-line risk oversight across a modern SaaS environment, ensuring risks are clearly identified, monitored, and communicated.
Key Responsibilities
*Support the execution of the firm’s risk management framework across a fast-moving SaaS/FinTech environment
*Assist with risk identification, assessment, and mitigation across areas such as operational risk, technology risk, outsourcing/third-party risk, and product risk
*Review controls, processes, and documentation to ensure they meet internal standards and regulatory expectations
*Work with technical and non-technical teams to gather information, analyse issues, and support risk reporting
*Contribute to incident reviews, risk registers, and the enhancement of risk governance practices
*Provide practical risk insight to help strengthen the firm’s operating model as it scales globally
Skills & Experience
*Experience in a Risk, Operational Risk, Technology Risk, or Risk Advisory role
*Background in financial services, fintech, SaaS, or platform-based environments is beneficial
*Understanding of risk frameworks, control assessments, and governance processes
*Comfortable working with internal stakeholders across engineering, product, operations, and leadership
*Strong analytical approach with the ability to communicate risks clearly and professionally
*Prior exposure to cloud-native platforms or digital product environments is an advantage (not essential)
Why This Contract Will Appeal
*Opportunity to work with an established and respected fintech organisation
*Exposure to a modern, cloud-native platform operating across global markets
*Ability to contribute to risk maturity in a business where risk, engineering, and product operate closely
*Suitable for someone who enjoys hands-on risk work in an agile and evolving environment
