Work History
Conduct Risk Analyst
Amtrust International
01.2024 - Current
- I was responsible for supporting the business in identifying, monitoring, and mitigating conduct risks to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and delivery of fair customer outcomes.
- My work involved analysing complex data sets to uncover risk trends, aggregating information from multiple sources, and producing clear, actionable reporting for senior governance committees. I collaborated closely with Conduct Risk Managers, Officers, and the Compliance team to resolve issues, strengthen oversight, and develop robust MI frameworks.
- I played a key role in product governance oversight, supporting product reviews and fair value assessments in partnership with Underwriting and Claims teams, and ensuring actions were driven to resolution. I also contributed to the development of systems and processes that improved the efficiency and accuracy of data gathering, storage, and reporting.
- My responsibilities extended to monitoring adherence to internal policies, tracking performance against agreed Conduct and Operational risk appetites, and producing regulatory reporting such as Value Measures and GIPP.
- Through these activities, I ensured the effective operation of governance committees, strengthened the organisation’s risk management framework, and provided ad‑hoc support to wider business functions when required.
