ARAG UK has an excellent opportunity for a Risk Officer to join our Risk Management department in Bristol on a 12-14 month secondment basis.
Responsibilities
Playing a key role in supporting the delivery and continuous improvement of ARAG UK’s risk framework, the successful candidate will work closely with the Risk Manager(s), risk team, and wider business to help identify, assess, and monitor key risks across all business areas.
As a key member of the team, you will provide risk assurance and constructive challenge to ensure controls are in place and operating effectively. You will also contribute to strategic planning and operational decision-making, helping to build a risk-aware culture in a supportive and engaged business.
You will bring prior risk management experience and be able to deliver focused risk oversight in specific areas. You’ll be comfortable applying modern best practice in a dynamic, forward-thinking environment, with the opportunity to build technical specialisms across a wide-ranging risk framework.
Using your communication and influencing skills, you will review and challenge the business’ management of key risk types. You will support confident commercial decision-making through First Line risk identification, measurement, management, monitoring, and reporting processes and you’ll be active in supporting colleagues to identify, assess, and manage risk events within their business.
You will have a solid understanding of risk management and enjoy building relationships across the risk team and the wider business through ongoing engagement, support, and collaboration.

- Prior experience in overseeing and running day‑to‑day risk management processes and materials; e.g. risk registers, risk reporting, risk event triage, etc.
- Strong analytical, problem‑solving, and communication skills.
