    Description
    Head of Risk & Compliance Key Responsibilities:
    • Integrated risk management – oversee and manage all credit and investment risks across the organisation, ensuring comprehensive identification, assessment, and mitigation strategies.
    • Compliance leadership – take charge of the compliance function, ensuring rigorous adherence to all relevant regulations and internal policies.
    • Team leadership & development – build, mentor, and lead a high-performing, combined risk and compliance team, fostering a culture of continuous improvement and strategic thinking.
    • Strategic contribution – act as a key advisor to senior leadership and the Investment Committee on complex risk and compliance matters, contributing significantly to strategic decision-making and portfolio oversight.
    • Process optimisation – drive synergies between risk and compliance activities, recognizing the significant benefits and efficiencies of combining these functions.
    What We Are Looking For:
    • Functional and business leadership – significant senior-level experience in both credit risk management and compliance, with a proven ability to lead and integrate these functions effectively.
    • Strategic thinker – A leader who can think out of the box and is inherently proactive, capable of contributing strategically rather than solely focusing on transactional tasks. You should possess the ability to think and count what you do.
    • Leadership & mentorship – strong leadership skills with a proven track record of upskilling and developing teams.
    • International mindset – A strong desire to contribute to and foster a more international work culture, bringing diverse perspectives and experience. We are particularly interested in candidates who can infuse a "little bit more European culture" into the organisation.
    • PPA exposure – while managing the broader risk and compliance functions, a strong understanding of Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) and their associated credit risks is highly beneficial given the company's core business model and the direct reports' focus.
