About the job

Operational Risk Manager | Frankfurt | €100k–€130k OTE

I'm currently working on an exciting opportunity with a global investment and financial services organisation that is looking to strengthen its Risk Management function in Germany.

This is a great opportunity for an experienced Operational Risk professional who wants genuine ownership, international exposure and the chance to become the key Risk point of contact for the German business.

The opportunity

You’ll join an established international Risk function, working closely with colleagues across Germany, Ireland, Luxembourg, the UK and US.

The Risk infrastructure is already in place, so this isn't about coming in and completely redesigning the function. Instead, you'll be responsible for managing, improving and scaling existing Risk processes and making sure the German business continues to operate within its risk appetite.

• Your experience could include:Operational Risk & Risk Management
• Risk & Control Assessments
• Risk Registers & KRIs
• Regulatory Risk
• DORA / GDPR
• ICT, Cyber or Data Risk
• Internal Controls & Remediation
• Risk Reporting & Escalations
• Regulatory engagement / BaFin

• What we're looking forIdeally, you'll have:4–5+ years' relevant Risk experience
• A background in Financial Services or Risk Consulting
• Strong Operational Risk experience
• Experience with regulatory / technology risk
• Big 4 or major consultancy experience is highly desirable
• B2+ German, with the confidence to present professionally in German
• Strong English communication skills
• A hands-on, pragmatic approach rather than purely strategic experience

This is not an Investment Risk or Portfolio Risk position – Operational / Regulatory Risk needs to be the main focus of your experience.

• Location & packageFrankfurt / Rodenbach
• 1–2 days per week in the office
• €100,000–€130,000 total package
• International Risk team
• Permanent position

The role offers genuine autonomy while still giving you the support of an established global Risk function.

If you're an Operational Risk professional based in Germany and this sounds like the kind of opportunity you'd be interested in, I'd be very happy to have a confidential conversation.
