Job Description

I am working with a Public Sector Finance body based in Central London who are looking for a Senior Advisor (Insurance) for 3 years.

The role is part time (3 days a week), hybrid and require applicants to be eligible for SC Clearance.

The role:

Senior Advisors provide advice, support, and constructive challenge to the way the organisation works, operates, and exercises its judgement. Senior Advisors do not have line management or staffing responsibilities, but they often offer coaching, mentoring and career development to some of the organisation's staff as part of their role.

Role specifics:

• The organisation is seeking to appoint a Senior Advisor with industry experience of operating at senior levels and in particular experience of traded risk or wholesale banking, for example through previous senior management roles in investment banking firms, banks with significant wholesale activities, or equivalent roles in relevant advisory firms.
• Drawing on your own networks and experience, the Senior Advisor will support policy and supervision colleagues across the organisation, providing independent advice and challenge to help the organisation assess topics that impact the banking sector and the wider financial system, and to help supervisors pursue key issues in their supervision of individual firms.

You should have relevant experience to:

• Advise, support, and challenge staff in their supervision of individual firms, the wider banking sector, and the UK financial system as a whole.
• Digest and synthesise information quickly, think critically to reach reasoned and robust conclusions, and communicate effectively.
• Be independent-minded and contribute constructively to well-informed debate on how to advance the organisation's objectives and mission.
• Influence strategies to deliver the primary and secondary objectives by advising the senior decision-making bodies and developing good working relationships and practices across the organisation to support sensitive and complex projects.
• Work collaboratively with a range of staff including those at the start of their career through to senior management, to support the organisation in achieving good supervisory outcomes.
• Handle highly confidential and commercially sensitive information appropriately.
• Adhere to the organisation's Code of Conduct for staff.

Essential criteria:

• Experience of market and counterparty risk, or wholesale credit risk gained by operating strategically at senior executive and/or board level, and with a broad understanding of relevant market practices in investment banking or wholesale banking.
• Experience at board level in executive leadership roles in the regulated firms or other equivalent roles.
• Previous experience at operating at C-suite or partner level in an advisory firm.
• An understanding of or a commitment to learning the organisation's objectives, and its regulatory and supervisory approach, and a commitment to helping them achieve its statutory objectives.
• Familiarity with the concepts and frameworks relating to prudential supervision and risk management in the banking sector.

Please only apply for this role if you are an experienced C-Suite Senior Advisor with relevant Banking/Investment/Insurance industry experience.

If you are already SC/DV cleared please ensure this is made clear on your application. Please also ensure if you are not already SC Cleared that you are eligible.

Thank you

Charlotte
