Job Description

Are you the type of person who enjoys understanding how things work, asking questions, analysing information and finding solutions?

At SS&C, we're looking for curious, proactive graduates who enjoy solving complex problems and using data to make better decisions.

As a Graduate Risk and Resilience Analyst, you'll help identify risks, strengthen business resilience and support critical services that our clients rely on every day.

You'll gain exposure to business operations, technology, data analysis and risk management while developing highly sought-after skills in problem-solving, stakeholder engagement and decision-making.

We don't expect you to have experience in risk management. We're looking for people with analytical thinking, curiosity and a proactive mindset who are eager to learn, take ownership and make an impact from the start of their career.

Why Risk & Resilience?

Risk and Resilience professionals help organisations prepare for uncertainty, respond effectively to disruption and protect the services their clients depend on.

This role offers a unique opportunity to understand how a global organisation manages risk, navigates challenges and builds resilience across people, processes, technology and third-party partners.

If you're someone who enjoys figuring things out, identifying patterns and improving how things work, you'll find plenty to challenge and develop you here.

What You'll Be Doing

As part of our Risk & Resilience team, you'll help the business identify, assess and manage risk while supporting operational resilience activities across multiple regions.

You'll:

• Analyse risk data to identify trends, insights and areas for improvement
• Support business risk assessments and emerging risk activities
• Produce reports, presentations and dashboards for stakeholders
• Help map critical business services across people, technology, premises and suppliers
• Contribute to business continuity and disaster recovery planning
• Support resilience testing and disruption scenarios
• Track risk actions and mitigation activities
• Collaborate with teams across the business to strengthen controls and improve resilience

Example projects could include:

• Investigating trends within risk data and presenting findings to stakeholders
• Supporting resilience exercises for critical business services
• Assessing the potential impact of technology, supplier or operational disruptions
• Creating management information and dashboards that support decision-making
• Contributing to responses to emerging risks and regulatory requirements

Your work will help colleagues make informed decisions, strengthen controls and improve the resilience of services used by our clients every day.

• Enjoy solving problems and getting to the root of issues
• Are naturally curious and ask thoughtful questions
• Take ownership and follow tasks through to completion
• Spot risks, opportunities or improvements that others may miss
• Enjoy working with data and drawing meaningful conclusions
