We are looking for a risk leader who brings strong judgment, independence, and commercial awareness:

Role Purpose

The Head of Risk leads and strengthens the Bank’s risk management function, providing independent
oversight as the second line of defence. The role ensures that risks are proactively identified, understood,
and managed within the Bank’s risk appetite, while supporting sustainable growth, regulatory compliance,

• Ensure timely, accurate, and reliable risk reporting to Management and the Board.

2. Safeguarding Stability
• Protect the Bank’s capital, earnings, and liquidity through proactive identification and
management of risks.
• Monitor asset quality trends, portfolio segments, and concentration risks, ensuring early
identification of stress and timely corrective action.
• Strengthen stress testing and scenario analysis to anticipate potential shocks.
• Support disciplined growth by balancing risk and return in line with the Bank’s strategic objectives.

3. Building Resilience
• Strengthen operational, technology, and data risk frameworks, ensuring system reliability,
integrity of reporting, and resilience of core banking operations.
• Lead business continuity planning and ensure readiness for disruptions, including system outages
and external shocks.
• Elevate risk awareness across the Bank, embedding accountability and practical risk ownership at
all levels.
• Build and develop a high-performing risk function aligned to the Bank’s growth and
transformation agenda.

What Success Looks Like

• Risk profile consistently maintained within approved appetite
• Improved asset quality and early identification of emerging risks
• Strong regulatory confidence, reflected in supervisory outcomes and engagement
• Risk function actively influencing decisions as a trusted advisor
• Increased institutional resilience, stability, and disciplined growth

Who You Are & Qualifications

• A strategic thinker with strong judgment and commercial awareness
• Independent, confident, and able to challenge constructively
• A clear and compelling communicator at Executive and Board level
• Analytical, disciplined, and forward-looking
• Resilient and able to operate effectively in a dynamic environment
• A leader who develops people and builds strong teams
