Our client, a leading motor captive and retail savings bank is seeking an experienced Independent Non-Executive Director to join its Board as Chair of the Risk Committee.
This is a high-profile appointment offering the opportunity to play a key role in the governance and strategic oversight of a successful and highly regarded organisation operating within a rapidly evolving sector. Working closely with the Board Chair, Executive team and fellow Non-Executive Directors, the successful candidate will help ensure the business continues to operate safely, sustainably and in line with its long-term strategic objectives.
The Chair of Risk will provide independent oversight and challenge across the organisation’s risk management framework, risk appetite and governance arrangements, whilst contributing more broadly to Board discussions on strategy, performance and long-term sustainability. Focus will be given to supporting the business through a period of significant turmoil within the motor finance industry, including the ongoing motor finance commission redress programme, evolving regulatory expectations and the management of residual value risk within an increasingly dynamic automotive market.
Individuals will be established Board-level leaders offering experience within the motor finance sector, automotive financial services or a retail bank. They will possess a deep understanding of the regulatory, governance and risk challenges facing the industry, together with the commercial judgement and strategic perspective required to operate effectively at Board level. Previous experience as a Chair of Risk Committee, Non-Executive Director or Chief Risk Officer within a regulated financial services environment will be highly regarded. SMF4 and / or SMF10 will need to have been held.
The successful candidate will combine strong governance credentials with the ability to provide constructive challenge, influence senior stakeholders and contribute to wider discussions around business strategy, growth and organisational development. They will be an independent thinker, an effective communicator and a trusted advisor capable of helping the Board navigate an increasingly complex operating environment.
This represents an exceptional opportunity to join a high-performing Board and contribute to the continued success and evolution of a market-leading motor finance business backed by a major international automotive group.
