What I'm looking for

I am seeking a mid-level risk or compliance role where I can lead incident investigations, improve controls, engage stakeholders, and build risk-aware culture within a collaborative, hybrid-friendly organisation.

I am a detail-oriented risk management professional with a First-Class LLB and over four years' experience aligning operational risk frameworks with FCA, AML/KYC, and GDPR standards across finance and public sectors. I have led incident investigations, produced data-driven risk reporting, and optimised policies and controls to reduce compliance gaps and improve operational efficiency.

I excel at stakeholder engagement and training, building enterprise-wide risk initiatives, and fostering risk-aware cultures in remote or hybrid environments. My work includes developing risk registers, KPIs, compliance tools, and delivering regular updates to senior management and boards to support informed decision-making.
