Digital jobs in United Kingdom

Do you have expertise in creating risk-based, pragmatic standards, policies and frameworks, particularly with regards to First Line Risk? We're looking for a Risk Oversight Manager to be responsible for driving the Risk and Control agenda across the UK Health business, with a particular focus on managing risks associated with change and (digital) transformation initiatives. You’ll play a critical role in fostering a resilient risk culture within AXA UK Health, enhancing the capability to identify, assess, and manage risks related to transformation projects, digital initiatives, and operational change. You’ll focus on proactive risk management, embedding effective controls within change programs, ensuring that risk management practices support strategic transformation, operational resilience, and positive customer outcomes.

You'll work at least two days a week (40%) away from home, moving to three days a week (60%) in the future. Away from home means either attendance at one of our office locations, visiting clients or attending industry events. We’re also happy to consider flexible working arrangements, which you can discuss with Talent Acquisition.
