The Role
The Risk Manager will be based with a leading financial services company in Edinburgh on an initial contract length of 3 months.

- Manage relationships with stakeholders across the group.
- Contribute to the on-going development of policy and standards for robust and consistent stress testing across the Group, ensuring inclusion of best practice
