You will be responsible for:

Head of Risk Malta / Entity Risk Oversight

  • Provide independent oversight of CMFL's risk profile and report material risks, challenges, and recommendations to management and the Board.
  • Maintain the Risk Appetite Statement, Key Risk Indicators (KRIs), and monitor risk appetite breaches.
  • Act as the designated Outsourcing Officer, overseeing outsourcing, third-party, ICT, and intragroup arrangements.
  • Review and challenge outsourcing assessments, due diligence processes, and exit plans, ensuring regulatory compliance.
  • Lead engagement with the Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA) on risk-related matters, regulatory reviews, and remediation activities.
  • Identify emerging risks and control weaknesses, challenge business processes, and monitor remediation actions through to completion.
  • Support the implementation of Convera's risk frameworks, policies, and methodologies within the Malta entity.
  • Provide oversight across operational risk, operational resilience, and ICT risk activities.
  • Promote risk awareness and deliver risk training where appropriate.

Group Financial Risk Management

  • Monitor regulatory capital and liquidity positions across entities, ensuring approved buffers and risk thresholds are maintained.
  • Lead the preparation of wind-down plans, capital and liquidity stress testing, and support ICARA documentation.
  • Conduct quantitative and qualitative financial risk analysis and provide recommendations to support risk appetite and governance decisions.
  • Contribute to the oversight of market, counterparty credit, and liquidity risks associated with FX and payments activities.
  • Support the development and enhancement of financial risk methodologies, monitoring tools, and management reporting.
  • Participate in strategic and regulatory projects led by the Financial Risk function.

Stakeholder Management & Governance

  • Build strong relationships with senior stakeholders, including Board members, regulators, Finance, Treasury, Compliance, Legal, Credit, Procurement, and Risk teams.
  • Act as a risk subject matter expert within cross-functional projects and governance forums.
  • Support internal audits, external audits, and regulatory reviews.

You should apply if you have:

  • Bachelor's degree in Finance, Economics, Mathematics, Statistics, Risk Management, or a related discipline.
  • At least 5 years of risk management experience within a regulated financial services environment, with significant exposure to financial risk.
  • Strong knowledge of capital, liquidity, market risk, and counterparty credit risk, including hands-on experience with regulatory capital and liquidity monitoring, stress testing, and risk reporting.
  • Experience preparing and presenting risk analysis, insights, and recommendations to senior management, risk committees, Boards, and regulators.
  • Ability to translate complex quantitative analysis into clear, practical conclusions and business recommendations.
  • Experience with ICARA processes, wind-down planning, capital adequacy assessments, and liquidity risk frameworks.
  • Experience in foreign exchange (FX), cross-border payments, or similar financial services products.
  • Strong understanding of quantitative analysis, financial risk modelling, stress testing, and risk measurement techniques.
  • Exposure to outsourcing and third-party risk management, operational resilience, and ICT risk oversight.
  • Knowledge of the MFSA regulatory framework, as well as PSD2, MiFID II, and IFR/IFD regulatory requirements.
  • Professional qualifications such as FRM (Financial Risk Manager), PRM (Professional Risk Manager), or CFA (Chartered Financial Analyst) are highly desirable.
  • Excellent written, verbal, analytical, stakeholder management, and organizational skills.
  • Ability to work effectively with senior stakeholders across Risk, Finance, Treasury, Compliance, Legal, and Regulatory functions.
  • Please note that the successful candidate's appointment will be subject to MFSA approval.

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
