We have an exciting opportunity for a Conduct Risk Manager to join our Regulatory Risk Department. Reporting to the Senior Conduct Risk Manager, the role will play a vital role in delivering initiatives designed to transform and elevate the delivery of good customer outcomes in Aegon.

We’re a company of ambitious, collaborative, problem-solvers who get things done. We strive to make sure everyone that works for us feel seen, heard, and valued – so we’re looking for like-minded people to join us.

We help people live their best lives. We help them with the big stuff, for the moments that matter: Pensions, Savings, Investments.

The Conduct Risk team is involved across Aegon on all regulatory change and conduct matters. This includes providing support and challenge on regulatory change projects, working across the Risk function on governance and controls and supporting the strategic direction of the business. The Conduct Risk Manager also brings our regulatory responsibilities to life for colleagues, role modelling our purpose and behaviours across Risk and the wider business.

We’d love to hear from you if you have:

  • Detailed knowledge of the UK financial regulatory environment, particularly the conduct requirements of the FCA

  • Worked across the Risk function to develop the depth of knowledge and skillset in the second line by building effective relationships and contributing to shared priorities.

  • Acted as a subject matter expert on regulatory risk and conduct queries from across the business, focusing on good customer outcomes and helping develop colleague knowledge and awareness.

  • An understanding of risk methodology, for example: risk identification, assessment and mitigation methodology, regulatory risk appetite and risk tolerances.

It’d also be great, but not essential, if you’ve got:

  • Life and Pensions industry and product knowledge is highly desirable.

  • Can evidence an ability to provide constructive challenge and influence others.

  • Strong team player skills and can show commitment to achieving own and team goals, develop yourself and others, whilst supporting a wider team and department on key priorities.

  • An ability to deal with complex and multiple pieces of work through effective prioritisation, time management, organisation and, where required, escalation.

What’s in it for you?

  • A competitive salary from £44,000.00 - £66,900.00, depending on the experience you can bring.

  • A non-contributory pension between 8%-12%

  • A discretionary bonus, depending on personal and company performance

  • 34 days leave per year (including bank holidays, pro-rated for part-time)

We know our staff have busy lives and commitments outside work, so we work flexibly where possible and have a hybrid approach to office working (typically 2 days in the office per week, 3 from home).

We also offer private medical cover, life assurance, critical illness cover, enhanced parental leave and a variety of lifestyle benefits to help our staff live their best lives, including retail discount vouchers, cycle2work scheme, subsidised restaurant, and online GP appointments.
