ORX is the world's largest association for operational and non-financial risk in financial services, employing around 70 dedicated professionals and growing. We work with over 130 organisations and thousands of risk professionals globally to advance and champion the discipline. Founded over 20 years ago by a small group of banks to anonymously share operational risk loss data, we've since expanded our services.

Our activities cover the banking, insurance, and asset management sectors.

The role

The role is an interesting and rewarding opportunity for an enthusiastic and proactive individual interested in supporting and delivering projects that will help solve current Operational and Non-Financial Risk measurement challenges faced by leading institutions in the global financial services industry.

The individual will contribute across ORX's Risk Measurement programme, working as part of a close-knit team to support projects, perform data analysis, deliver a range of written outputs and support with engaging with ORX member firms.

Research activities include:

Benchmarking and best practice collection exercises. Virtual calls and in-person events. Original research studies including qualitative and quantitative analysis.
The research analyst will help design and build surveys and use tools such as Excel and R to analyse and visualise data which, together with the individual's strong writing skills, will help us to communicate research findings in coherent and engaging ways. An important aspect of this role will be keeping track of and promoting engagement with ORX's Analytics Working Group and CCAR Community.

Strong communication skills are essential to the delivery of the above alongside excellent time management and the ability to work as part of a team. The role will require the research analyst to engage with and effectively communicate technical financial concepts (e.g., regression, statistical models, financial capital), so confidence in discussing and applying such topics is desirable.

Our culture

We have a great culture and we're proud of our people and the high engagement demonstrated year after year in our employee survey. We recognise and reward hard work, whilst respecting work-life balance. During the first month of the probation, employees should be in the office a minimum of 2 days per week. Following these days in the office are a minimum of 10 per quarter, which enables our teams to establish a working pattern that suits us, and you. We recognise that family time, being there for the school run and enjoying life at home is as important as collaborating with others, socialising as a team, and maximising the informal learning and innovation that happens when we're together in the same place.

As we manage and have control of highly confidential data at ORX, the successful candidate will be subject to background checks.
