This is a critical role that will significantly contribute to the firm's long-term strategic goals. The Chief Risk Officer has ambitious plans to expand the team and enhance the function following this appointment, including implementing AI systems for board & committee meetings so any experience in this area (or interest in gaining experience here) would be hugely beneficial
