Key Takeaways for Risk Professionals
1. Look For Employers With Stability
In an uncertain economic environment, focus on organisations that offer clarity around job stability, progression, and an approach to hybrid working that works for you. And before accepting an offer, ensure your potential new employer invests in their people. Stability doesn’t mean standing still; it means having the support and resources to keep developing over the long term.
2. Strengthen Your Market Value Through Tech
As regulation and technology continue to converge, professionals with expertise in both of these areas will only become more sought after. Building skills and working in areas such as AI governance, ESG integration, model validation, and cybersecurity will position you for both immediate opportunities and long-term career growth.

3. Stay Adaptable and Proactive
The most successful professionals are those who stay connected to market trends and ready to pivot as the risk landscape changes. Consider broadening your mobility – whether through learning another European language, exploring cross-sector roles, or taking on international projects – and stay connected with the market through specialist recruiters and industry events to ensure you don’t miss out on new opportunities.
