Senior Risk Management Jobs

Updated hourly from a 20M+ job database, this list surfaces senior risk management jobs across enterprise, operational, credit, market, insurance, and regulatory risk.

Openings include enterprise-risk managers, operational-risk leaders, credit and counterparty specialists, market or liquidity risk professionals, insurance-risk teams, risk-control managers, and directors responsible for governance or reporting. Employers span financial services, insurance, healthcare, technology, consulting, and other regulated industries. The work may involve setting risk appetite, assessing exposures, challenging business decisions, maintaining frameworks, analyzing scenarios, testing controls, or reporting to senior committees. Quantitative market or credit roles differ substantially from operational and enterprise positions even when titles overlap. Compare model or data depth, governing regulation, business-line coverage, committee exposure, and the independence of the risk function. Seniority can reflect authority to challenge decisions and escalate issues, responsibility for a material portfolio or program, or leadership of analysts and managers. Note whether the position owns a risk discipline or provides specialist support within a larger team.

Choose the risk discipline before applying employer, location, industry, compensation, or sponsorship filters. The source posting should clarify quantitative and modeling expectations, regulatory frameworks, sector experience, certifications, reporting obligations, and management scope. For credit or market roles, look at portfolio, product, and limit responsibilities; for operational or enterprise roles, examine control assessment, event management, governance, and business-partner duties. Determine whether the job sits in a first-line business function or an independent oversight team when the posting explains it. Compensation comparisons should separate base pay from a disclosed bonus or equity award and account for decision authority, technical depth, and regulated responsibility. Tailor examples to the role's central risks and show how you identified, measured, communicated, or reduced exposure without overstating outcomes. Verify workplace, authorization, clearance, and live requirements before applying.
